WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING A RESIDENT OF SL? Imagination is limitless, and so it goes with experiences in SL!

ONE THING IN YOUR INVENTORY THAT YOU WOULD BE THE MOST DEVASTATED TO LOSE? My Newbee Free Shades

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LOCATION IN SL? Gallops Island

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE OUTSIDE WORLD TO KNOW ABOUT SL? It's not just a game. I've made a living working here for three years now

WHAT ONE THING ABOUT SECOND LIFE WOULD YOU CHANGE IF YOU COULD? Change is a part of everything - I am not one to judge.  If I could, I would rejoice in the differences from day to day and learning from the experience!

DO YOU HAVE AN SL PARTNER? IF SO, TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT HIM/HER. Hmmm... that a tough one. No, but I feel like there is no such thing as a 'virtual friend'.  We are all people behind the keyboard.  In that way, I try to reach out and find common ground with all the residents I meet.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO SEE IN FUTURE SL UPGRADES? Hmmm... Shadows come to mind, but I think we have that soon.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE PERSON (NON-PARTNER) IN SL, AND WHY? My Favorite person in SL... Hmm. another tough one. I can single out no one person, but people who passionately participate in their virtual world, and bring enlightening and joyful work to share are those who I am attracted to the most.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE LINDEN?  IF SO, WHO AND WHY? My favorite linden might have to be Michael Linden at the moment because we have worked together to bring things to the grid in a community spirit that is appreciated by not just me, but sailors across the grid.

PIE OR CHEESE, AND WHY? Pie, because you can have a cheese pie, but no pie cheese.
