Questions, questions from
1. Did you always have an affinity for seals, or did it really only come to the fore when you played a selkie?
Heh. Here's where I tell my favorite gaming story, How I Started Playing Jake. I was playing on The Dreaming back in 1998, when a friend from there talked me into playing on Emerald Dreams. This was in April or so. I created Rowan, then a mortal. But said friend, who was a baron on Emerald, was throwing a fae-only party, and the only way I could go was to create a fae. So, I picked the name Jake at random, then spent a couple of weeks waffling over whether the character would be male or female, and which kith he or she would be.
At the time, ED was one of the few Changeling MUSHes that allowed for kiths beyond the standard 9 in the main book. Hm. Selkie. Sounds interesting. Girl with a guy's name. Also interesting. Why not? So with minimal thought, I threw together a background for Joanna, nicknamed Jake by her father, and voila, fae character! To say that she grew as a character is an understatement, largely because of the combined machinations of
2. If you could go back in time and do one thing over again, what would it be?
Hm. Tough question. I'm not usually one to look back and want to change something, figuring that everything that happens is a part of who I am. But--right now, I think I would relive this year, and catch things before they got so bad, try to fix them sooner.
3. What music did you listen to a lot when you were little?
Heh. Well, depends on what you mean by 'little'. Before the age of 11 or so, I listened to a lot of country, cause that's what my parents listened to. I can remember being completely enamored of the Grease soundtrack when I was five or so. I also had a bunch of nursery rhymes on little 45 rpm records. And a record player with a microphone. So I'd stand on my toybox and give concerts to my toys. I also had an unexplainable fondness for Kenny Rogers when I was seven or eight.
4. What's your favourite Sesame Street character?
When I watched it? Probably Ernie, or Grover. Now... I hate to admit it, but Elmo is just so damned cute.
5. Do you believe in the supernatural? Why or why not?
Yeah, I do. Kinda. I think a lot of it has to do with my upbringing, I was taught early on to believe in things that I couldn't see or prove or touch. Since then, I've had a few too many experiences that I can't just chalk up to coincidence or my imagination. There's more to the world than what we see.
Wanna be interviewed? Comment below. Also, for the roleplaying geeks, since this meme amuses me as well, wanna interview one of my characters? Drop a note below for that as well, character and questions. :) (Edited to add, as far as the character thing goes, present or past characters are fair game. ;))
