QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS:

@Johnnydiscard asked How did you get into video games?

I was gifted a Super Nintendo for Christmas when I was about 6 years old. I believe it came with Super Mario Brothers, and I also got Super Ghouls and Ghosts. That is what started my love of video games.

@Gabbymoon asked What are some of your favorite movies?

I really love horror, sci fi, and fantasy movies, especially if they are directed by Guillermo Del Toro. Pans Labyrinth is a favorite of mine, and Hell Boy (only the first two, the third I didn't like much). I love the LOTR, The Hobbit, Harry Potter, and The Fifth Element too. There are many more, I could go on for a long time!

@Juangh1970 said What nutrient dense diet are you on? You're very fit and sculpted beautifully

That is very kind of you to say! Honestly I eat a lot of fish, veggies, fruit, rice, oatmeal, and potatoes. I tend to lose weight quickly when I work out a lot if I don't up the carbs, so I adjust my diet according to how active I currently am. I do allow myself to have cheat days, and I LOVE dark chocolate Oreos. I have also recently become aware of how many chemicals certain foods have, so I've been trying my best to eat cleaner foods. I have this app I downloaded called Yuka, and you can scan food and even cosmetics/shampoo/etc. and it will tell you if it has any harmful chemicals, what they are, and why they are harmful. I highly recommend it.

@Kalistuh asked What are your favorite books?

I really enjoy fantasy and dystopian stories. LOTR, Harry Potter, 1984, The Handmaid's Tale. And I love Edgar Allen Poe.

@Kingofcool asked If you could give your younger self any advice, what would it be?

I would tell myself not to care so much what others think, to just be myself. I was bullied a LOT as a child, mostly in elementary and middle school, and it still sticks with me to this day. One of my bullies found out I liked a boy, and when we were walking in line one day at school, she asked him really loudly if he would ever date someone "like me", and he laughed and said of course not, he'd never date a loser like that. I also used to get bullied for the way I held my notebook, how I dressed, how I walked, how I sat, how I laughed... I could go on. I would also tell myself not to be so trusting of teenage boys.

@Cheshire_ asked When did you decide to get your first tattoo & the story behind some of your amazing ink?

My first tattoo was the little heart I have on my right hip. I got it on my 18th birthday. I had been wanting one and my parents wouldn't let me, so I went on the day I turned 18 to get it. My ravens on my chest are Huginn and Muninn, Odin's ravens, and I have Jormungandr on my left thigh. I have a quote from The Handmaid's Tale on my right forearm, it says Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum, which in the book is supposed to be Latin for "don't let the bastards grind you down". I have an evil eye on my upper back between my shoulders, and my left arm is a half sleeve dedicated to my birthday, which is on Halloween. It also includes my birth flower, which is a Marigold. All of my tattoos are by the same artist, except for the little heart. He does amazing work, and personally designs each one for me.

@Varghr asked If someone offered to make you any dish you wanted, what would you request?

That is a pretty tough one, but I'd say my late Oma's German potato salad, her Spaetzle, and her buttercream cake. I miss her a lot.

~

@Adam_bovary asked Which would you prefer: Big Mac and a beer or pizza and wine?

I'll take the Pizza and pass on the rest as I don't drink alcohol. But I would substitute an iced coffee instead!

~

@Sheashannara asked What's your favorite way to unwind after a hard/stressful day?

A hot bath and a good book.

@Terrycox asked If you could date any woman from history, who would it be?

I'd date Julie d'Aubigny. She became a subject of interest at a time when French society began re-examining gender roles and sexual identity. She was known under her stage name, La Maupin. She was a bisexual, cross-dressing, swords-woman who killed at least three men in duels. She also broke into a convent where her lover had been sent by her parents, stole a dead nuns body, put it in her lover's bed, and set it on fire so that they could escape and be together. Sounds like my kind of woman!

@Enginesnipe asked Do you have any plans to get any more tattoos? If so, what of and in color or black/grey?

I want to get one to honor my late kitties, Kratos and Battlecat. I also want to get some sort of video game themed tattoo, maybe a half sleeve on my other arm, but I need to work out the details. I've also been wanting to get something Celtic to honor that part of my heritage. I'd probably do black and grey, I like the way those look vs color tattoos. I'm not a super colorful type of person.

@Emanuel asked What was your favorite cosplay you've done so far? Do you have any one planned?

My favorite is probably Cammy White from Street Fighter 2. But I also really liked Smoke and Noob from MK. I need to post some pictures of those up for you guys to see. I made each of them with lots of care. I don't really have anything planned at the moment, but I have always wanted to cosplay a blood elf from WOW ( I used to play back when Wrath of the Lich King came out, but stopped because it ate ALL of my time up).

@Brokenpoet asked How did you come to your current spiritual path?

I have never had a good relationship with Christianity because of abuse that I've suffered under the roof of a church daycare, and also because it was shoved down my throat from the time I was young. I used to ask a lot of questions as a child, and the adults didn't like that. Right now I consider myself a Pagan, and I practice witchcraft. There is something about it that's always called to me, and it comes naturally.

~

@Babynins asked What is your favorite food?

This is so tough. I love Indian, Greek, Japanese, and German food the best. I honestly don't think I can pick just one dish, and it kind of varies with my mood. I love spicy food, so that would definitely have to be incorporated.

~

@Inkedodie asked What is your favorite aspect about your personality, and your favorite aspect about figure?

I always feel a bit uncomfortable saying positive things about myself, which I am working on... I suppose I like that I am organized and responsible. I'm not quite sure what you meant by the second question, so if you can clarify I will answer in the comments.

~

@Rdhrng asked What are the things that make you smile?

Animals, my life partner, coffee, anime, video games, chocolate, and food.

@Demonwolf asked Do you have a favorite color? And do you have a favorite outfit in this color, or favorite outfit in general? // What subject can you "geek out on"?

My favorite colors are black and olive green. I have a pair of torn black straight leg jeans that I like to cuff and wear with black combat boots, and an olive green button up shirt that I like to roll the sleeves up and wear with it. I complete the look with a French tuck. I can always geek out on science, especially forensic science, evolution, and genetics. It's so fascinating! Also facts about animals, and dogs. I used to have every single dog breed memorized, and could name each one. I'm somewhat out of the loop now though, as there have been some new breeds to be recognized by the AKC that I need to learn about.

~

@Weedfarmer asked What's the last concert you went to? What band would you like to see live? What is your favorite band or music artist?

The last concert I went to was Amon Amarth a few years ago. I would love to see the Foo Fighters and Rammstein (I've heard they have awesome pyrotechnics). I would say my favorite artist is the Foo Fighters.

~

@Tc_Nikon asked What are your plans/goals for the new year/future?

I hope to overcome the mental health issues I've been struggling with over the past year, but that has been caused by someone other than myself, so I'm just doing my best to handle each day as well as I can. I want to be able to take a real vacation to a place I want to go, without having to visit anyone. I know that sounds selfish, but every trip I've taken in my life has been to visit someone, which is nice, but I want to go somewhere where I can do what I want and go where I want to go the whole time. I've never been on a trip where I just chose a place and went there.

@Jaws318 asked At what age did you know you were attractive?

I don't consider myself attractive, I consider myself quite average. I just do my best to take care of myself, body and mind. Beauty is subjective.

@Lilvixen asked How do you get inspired to make your sets? like to decide the theme, colors, and location?

Usually the idea will hit me all of a sudden, and when it does I write it down so I don't forget. The outfit and the details all kind of hit me at once. I love how SG gives us the freedom to express ourselves in an artistic way through our sets.

@Milesg said What are the advantages and disadvantages of being on the autism spectrum? It’s pretty cool that you are on the spectrum like me!

It's always awesome to see a fellow autistic person! The advantages for me are being very organized and tidy, having an analytical way of thinking, good time management skills, and honesty (although sometimes being honest can get you into trouble, I'm not very good at sugar coating things so I can come off as tactless sometimes). I have a good "people reader" and can usually pick out someone to steer clear of, it sounds crazy, but I've been right on those matters quite a few times when others thought I was being "too judgmental". The disadvantages would be when I get overstimulated by my environment (sounds, the way my clothes feel against me, bright lights, etc), and not being able to adjust to abrupt changes in plans. When I have plans and something changes at the last minute, it's very upsetting, because I've already mentally prepared myself for how it was supposed to go. I also feel my emotions very intensely, which can be both good and bad, but when I'm sad I am SAD. I always try to explain autism to those that don't have it like this: It's like having an overactive nervous system, everything a Neurotypical (person without autism) hears, feels, and sees is amplified for a person with autism, which can become very overwhelming at times. I've gotten better about reading social cues, but I can still struggle with it at times. I lost a few friends (before I was diagnosed), because I couldn't pick up their social cues and see that something was upsetting them. And lastly, feeling exhausted after having social interaction. I enjoy being social, but it sucks that it drains me so much. After a few hours of it, it takes me a full day to recover (I sleep more and need to stay in a nice quiet and comforting environment).

@Joensen asked What made you gain such an interest in Norse mythology?

Honestly, watching Thor. I wanted to learn more about it after seeing the movie, and I started reading a lot. It's so fascinating!

@Vegantechn0 asked If you were an ultra millionaire, what would you do with all of your money?

First, I'd pay off all of my family and friend's debt and buy them each a house. Then I'd buy myself a house on a nice piece of forested land where it's quiet, and start a farm. I'd definitely buy some horses, because I love them and they are amazing creatures. I'd start a new charity to help people with autism, so that Autism Speaks is put to rest for good. They believe in horrible behavior therapy that traumatizes autistic children and eugenics, please don't ever support them (if you don't believe me, google "I am autism commercial by autism speaks"). I'd also start a charity to help families that are dealing with an Alcoholic family member, along with the physical and mental ailments that come along with it, as the resources for that are absolutely awful here in the states. And I'd donate a lot of money to animal shelters.

@Hotdoguk asked Do you have any ambitions to do a multi set & if so, which SGs would you like to shoot with?

I would absolutely LOVE to do a multi, it's definitely on my to do list! There are so many lovely ladies here on the site, I'd honestly love to shoot with any of them. Of those SG's that I have met, I'd love to do a set with Star, Booba, or Lilvixen. When I met them our personalities seemed to mesh well, and I think that's important in a multi.

@MJC1225 asked What drew you to the SuicideGirls website?

Seeing strong and powerful alternative women, and wanting to be one of them. This is such a unique community, and I'm very happy to be a part of it.
