WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING A RESIDENT OF SL?

I especially love the social aspects of SL as well as the opportunity to write about the in-world people and experiences who contribute to this wondrous environment.

ONE THING IN YOUR INVENTORY THAT YOU WOULD BE THE MOST DEVASTATED TO LOSE?   That would have to be my shape and skin. Is so about my image here and took a awhile for me to perfect that.  Aside from that.. I would hate to lose my notecards of information gathered from interviews and all my awesome contacts that I've accumulated.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LOCATION IN SL?  I'm very much in love with Midsomer Isle.  It's the most relaxing and romantic place to hang out.   I also love the outdoor ballroom on the beach at Eleni's Silver Beach Resort.  It's just lovely and I've never had any lag there!  Aside from that, I love my home.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE OUTSIDE WORLD TO KNOW ABOUT SL?

I'd like them to know how much you can grow here.  That you end up being exposed to all types of people, cultures, art, music.  More so than I believe you would be in RL.

WHAT ONE THING ABOUT SECOND LIFE WOULD YOU CHANGE IF YOU COULD? The things that bug me the most are the limited number of groups and my monstrous inventory.  The group issue is out of my control and I hope that the Linden's figure this out soon.  It seems to be the most popular complaint of most residents .. second only to lag.

DO YOU HAVE AN SL PARTNER? IF SO, TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT HIM/HER.  I have a great partner.  Red is a fun guy and very sweet to me.  We talk for hours and we have tremendous respect for each other.  I couldn't ask for more.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO SEE IN FUTURE SL UPGRADES? I'm honestly not very much into the technical aspects of the game.  I'm not a builder and don't have any hopes for better tools since I'm not proficient with any existing ones.. LOL.   In my humble view, I guess I'd say that the Lindens continue to pursue enhancements that give SL residents more enjoyment and realism here.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE PERSON (NON-PARTNER) IN SL, AND WHY?

I have way too many to mention and sincerely don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by missing them.. so I'll just say there are tons of great people who I cherish here.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE LINDEN?  IF SO, WHO AND WHY? Torley is the only Linden I feel I know.. only from the tutorials that he so competently and humorously delivers.  Although, I don't really watch them much... LOL.

PIE OR CHEESE, AND WHY?  I love cheese cake and cheese cannuli so I guess I go with cheese.
