'''Why did you choose Brown?'''
 +
 
 +
I got a good feeling of several different personality types coexisting in a really comfortable way.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?'''
 +
 
 +
I love books, but I'm more of a plan for all the potentials than a daydreamer. It ends up with the same not-paying-attention dazed look, but it's pointed planning!
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?'''
 +
 
 +
I hate to default to Verin, but she is pretty spectacular.

 +
 
 +
1996
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''How did you first get into the series?'''
 +
 
 +
I was interested in a guy who was reading the series, and picked it up on his suggestion. Still friends with the guy, but that never became more than friendship.

 +
many, and I really enjoy them. It's good to know the person behind the avatar - it helps dispel misconceptions and form friendships you might not have founded based on online interactions. I find that folks relax a bit more, and you can get to know each other much easier in person. the books and the site brought us together, RL interactions help us find the other things we have in common. Plus, it's always nice to have a vacation with friends!

classic rock, a bit of ska, rockabilly, etc.

In late 2009 I started playing Roller Derby, and it's become my latest greatest obsession. I like food a lot :D Spaghetti or a nice medium rare steak will always make the perfect dinner :P
