Too Many Annas and the Friday Five

Via Cynra's clever blog, I have discovered Too Many Annas, which seems to be dedicated to a similar proposition to that of this one. It seems that every Friday, in order to help her readership get a handle on their characters, she posts the "Friday Five"--a set of five questions that one can answer pertaining to one's character.

I'm going to go through them and answer them, catch up a little, as they would be answered by my character, Jeremias.

Today's is from this post.

1. What is your name? Jeremias Auromere. A great honor to meet you. *bow*
2. Why did you choose to become a paladin? Well, I didn't, not really. When I offered myself to the Holy Light, I didn't know what I would be called to do. I thought I was supposed to be a priest--being short and a little scrawny--but they decided I was better suited to become a paladin. I think it's better this way, too. Funny how you never know who you are as well as the Light does...
3. The worst trouble you ever got into as a child? Ha, the usual run of boyish mischief, I suppose. I think the worst ever was when my sister was going to have to marry this one fellow I didn't like--nobody liked him, to be honest--so I cut the girth on his saddle. He tried to get on his horse, and fell off and broke his arm. Allis wound up not having to marry him after all, so I figured it was worth a week with no books.
4. Your favorite thing to eat? Anything my wife Sera cooks is good. I think I like her apple turnovers best, especially when they're piping hot. Or maybe that beef roast she makes with potatoes and carrots cooked in the pot with it. Or there's this one breakfast she makes with roast chicken bits, potatoes, bacon, and cheese...Oh, I don't know. I'll eat anything she wants to feed me.
5. What do you have in your pockets? Well, these are my spectacles; can't read a blasted thing without them, no wonder I used to get pounding headaches...My pencil and notebook, for when I do my blacksmithing and take notes. My pocketwatch; my father-in-law gave it to me when I went off to train. And here's a lucky charm; Lord Mysin gave it to me as a wedding present, he's too generous.

If you try this yourself, you can add details to your character that you wouldn't have thought of on your own. In fact, if you'd like, go ahead down in the comments.
