1 – How did you discover Second Life and what made you create an account?
I found an article on web about it. Sadly about two years too late, though, I would have like to be there 2004 already.
And the possibility to be creative made me stay, after getting annoyed of some years of MMORPGing (Anarchy Online, StarWars Galaxies, EverQuest2, WoW).

2 – How did you come up with your Second Life name?
No idea, I wanted a short and cute one, and this one came to my mind. Not for SL, but years ago in the online games I played before already. Since then it haunts me.

3 – Lots of people only stay in SL for a week or a month after creating an account. What made you stay and what motivates you to log back in?
See answer to question one. Besides that I love exploring the world. And I just like my avatar too much to not be there. :)

4 – What have you been doing in SL? Tell us your story: what have you been up to or what have you created.
I made some clothing and some smaller items, not very successful back then. My latest works are scripted items for photographers and some club items, too. Well known is my posing stand. ^.^

5 – Have you found, developed or improved any skills because of SL?
I learned scripting, photography and using photoshop. I uploaded over 20,000 photos to flickr, and did even more. Most of them are photos of fashion shows.

6 – Could you share a funny or awkward story that happened to you in SL?
Not that special that if was worth to be remembered, haha.

7 – What would you change or improve in Second Life?
There is so much that needs improvement and so much I would like to see in SL, it’s countless. That’s why I joined the AWGroupies, a (not so small anymore) group of people, discussing all kind of
stuff with the Lindens. AWG is Architecture Working Group.
There are regular meetings with or without the Lindens, and many of the people working on OpenSim or client enhancements are AWG members.

8 – Can you share your current and/or future projects for SL?
I’ll continue to do a bit of everthing. Create items, write scripts, shoot photos, landscape. Nothing special planned. I am doing some custom scripts right now, though.

9 – Have you ever had any issues whatsoever within Second Life? If so, how did you reported and was the feedback positive?
There are TONS of bugs in the snapshot window, and it’s a constant battle at the Linden Office Hours. Can’t say a single one of them got fixed yet.

10 – Is Second Life merely an online game or do you consider it more of a metaverse or a virtual world?
For me it is, what the name says: a second life. I spend quite some time in there. I can be who I want and do what I want (more or less), the possibilites are almost unlimited. I don’t consider it a
‘game’ at all.

11 – Imagine a new resident asks for your help. What would do? What would you tell him/her?
I am helping as good as I can, depending on what kind of help he/she needs. As long as he/she isn’t asking for Linden dollars or sex, which happens every now and then.

12 – How would you describe yourself in one word?
Cute? :)
