1 – How did you discover Second Life and what made you create an account?
My RL friend Celie told me about it and told me to come and have a look. I thought i was going to peek in for say three weeks and then get fed up with it *lol*, here I am two and a half years later.

2 – How did you come up with your Second Life name?
The first name SySy, “Sy” being the begin of my RL name with many folks calling me Sy it was an easy choice. The last name I honestly didn’t think about, I just grabbed what was available at the time.

3 – Lots of people only stay inSL for a week or a month after creating an account. What made you stay and what motivates you to log back in?
Yes lol, as I expected I wouldn’t stay long in this new “game” I discovered. Little did i know at the time! Soon after rezzing in SL I wondered who made all the content, how was it done etc. so I started to create clothes myself. That, but even more so the wonderfull friends i’ve made made and still make me stay i think. SL to me is a creative playground, but also a place where I talk with my friends. I honestly wouldn’t want to miss it no more!

4 – What have you been doing in SL? Tell us your story: what have you been up to or what have you created.
Oh wow i’ve been doing so much! Obviously making clothes for SYSY’s, but also all the events surrounding making fashion which i’ve never expected. I’ve been blessed to participate in awesome events and had the greatest fun! Also I got to meet and work with other designers and made good friends along the way. One of the most fun but also nervewrecking things was an interview with Fabulous Fashion (which you modelled for me Ana <3). *Shameless plug* here: http://archive.treet.tv/fabulous-fashion-sysys In that interview I explain everything how things started for me in SL etc. (Just pretend i’m not saying “ehm” every three seconds LOL)

5 – Have you found, developed or improved any skills because of SL?
Yes, definitely! And still developing and learning. I use to make websites, and had little photoshop experience but 3d clothing is a whole other story. I’m currently learning sculpties and still try to improve my skills.

6 – Could you share a funny or awkward story that happened to you inSL?
-

7 – What would you change or improve in Second Life?
FLEXIBLE sculpties would be awesome!!! And ofcourse the obvious: no more crashing, less lag, well basically a viewer without bugs pls?

8 – Can you share your current and/or future projects for SL?
Some i can share, some i can’t (yet :P ). Ok, let me be mysterious, there’s plans to start a clothing line, designed by myself and a very dear friend & awesome designer. The other projects are still secret cause it involves other designers, but very exciting! :D

9 – Have you ever had any issues whatsoever within Second Life? If so, how did you reported and was the feedback positive?
No real serious issues yet where i felt the need to report, however i did some abuse reports for others, and I honestly never had any feedback!

10 – Is Second Life merely an online game or do you consider it more of a metaverse or a virtual world?
Oooooh, SL is definately no online game for me. It’s indeed a virtual world for me, I have friends in here who now are RL friends,
I’m “working” in here, i’m having good conversations and goofy laughs here etc.etc. It’s definately a part of my RL, only in a virtual world ;)

11 – Imagine a new resident asks for your help. What would do? What would you tell him/her?
I always pass them some LM’s to good free stuff, sometimes i drop them some of my own stuff, i try to be helpfull. Except for the occasional newbie who lands
in my private skybox when i’m neked or something :P

12 – How would you describe yourself in one word?
“A-person-who-absolutely-can’t-think-of-just-one-word-so-cheating-on-this-question-sweet-sensitive-crazy-funny-stubborn-creative-loving-emotional-insecure-shyish-strong-woman!”
