No one could have taught me that in a classroom. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite food?</div> My favourite food is sushi. I like my sushi like I like my women, naked on a bed of rice, minus the rice. <div class="infobox">Do you have any pets?</div> I have a wild cat that goes by the name Kittay, there are some pictures of her in my gallery. I also have some fish but they come and go, so no need mentioning them. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite kind of fish?</div> To eat or to appreciate? <div class="infobox">Appreciate!</div> That would have to be the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, hands down. <div class="infobox">What is the one urge you often get but never act on?</div> I guess since this interview is PG, it would be breaking stuff. I used to have a terrible temper as a kid, and my parents would send me to my room. I would get so upset that I would start smashing my own things, which would just make me more upset. I am glad I fight the urges to smash stuff now since I now work at a glass desk, that could be a expensive temper tantrum. <div class="infobox">What brought you to Spymac?</div> Macworld NY did in 2002, as well as the iWalk. I think I was in the market for a new laptop, and I wanted to find out if I should buy then or wait for an update, so through my research I stumbled upon Spymac. I used to go to other rumor sites, but never did they have a forums where I could nag people about when I should by my new PowerBook. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite Spymac forum?</div> The mod board, with the stripper pole and the... oh, you mean a public one? I used to like the RLD a lot, but you can only read about the same thing so many times, and I also found out way too much about other members - you just dont need to know how many anatomically correct chunks of rubber some people have. So I guess my favorite forum is the <a href="http://www.spymac.com/forums/threadlist.php?catid=9" target="_blank">Lounge</a>, since it's laid back and just general discussion. <div class="infobox">How do you like working at night time for Spymac?</div> I am being paid for being on Spymac, how do you think I like it? <div class="infobox">Have you made many friends through Spymac?</div> I have made several friends from Spymac. It has such a strong community base that I dont know how anyone on here couldn't make a ton of friends. <div class="infobox">Why didn't you join the rest of the Spymac team in Boston for Macworld?</div> Many reasons. Most importantly it was my girlfriend's birthday that weekend, and someone had to hold down the tech support fort. <div class="infobox">Which three Spymac members would you want to meet?</div> Meeting anyone would mean revealing my true self, and since the world isn't ready for me yet, I'll stay in hiding. <div class="infobox">If you had to be stuck on an island with three Spymac members, who would you choose?</div> I guess I would be stuck on there with AtariST, and a bottle of scotch. With Atari, I know we wouldn't be lost on that island for long, we'd be picked up pretty quick, and the scotch would make the awkwardness of just the two of us seem non-existent. What happens on barren secluded islands, stays on barren secluded islands. <div class="infobox">What kind of music are you into? Who is your favourite musician?</div> I am a huge fan of music, I like all genres, but if I had to pick a single one to top the list it would be hip hop. It is the biggest cultural movement since Rock and Roll in the late 50's early 60's. On top of it all stands Kanye West. It's about time we have someone with something to say other than they're gonna kill someone else. <div class="infobox">Would you ever pose nude for a magazine such as Playgirl or else for a large sum of money?</div> The adult industry already has a hedgehog, and well lets just say I'm not sure I could compete with his, um, "gifted" genetics. Although if I did, I think my back drop would be a funeral. You don't see enough naked people at funerals. I think it would really lighten things up a bit. In fact, that's a great idea, my funeral's dress code is gonna be birthday suits. That will take some of the attention off the dead guy in the box. <div class="infobox">When you first joined Spymac you had a reputation for causing a bit of trouble and you were sometimes a bit of a jerk. You later became a Forum Moderator and now you're working for Spymac. What caused this change in attitude with you on the site?</div> Hey now, are you saying I'm no longer a jerk? Well, when I first came to Spymac I figured I would stir up the pot a bit. I remember I used to rouse GadgetDon real good in the shouts about religion, and now I'm working with him. I guess the reason that I turned the leaf, so to say, was cause I was just too damn good at skirting the line and figured that if I could be so damn good at being bad then I might as well give the friendly thing a whirl. It's a lot better, cause now the shock factor is back when I want it, and now they pay me for being a jerk if I need to be. Hell, how can I complain with that? <div class="infobox">Your avatars are great! You should get some additional ones. Where did you get them?</div> <a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=2794" target="_blank">TimTheEnchanter </a> was kind enough to make them for me on his own time, he is a tremendous artist and was kind enough to do so, if you would like to see more contact him cause I know I sure do. <div class="infobox">If you could live at any time, past or present, what would you choose?</div> I think I would pick present day - I like things how they are. <div class="infobox">If your home was on fire, what would you grab on the way out?</div> If my home was on fire I would probably only grab my cat and my tower. Nothing pisses me off more than loosing my bookmarks and if I lost my MP3s I would have no reason to live. <div class="infobox">If you could be someone else for a day, who would it be and why?</div> I think I would be some real trashy female celebrity; maybe Paris Hilton or Britney. I'd run around all day doing all the things I have always said I would do if I were a girl, which would probably land me in the slammer. That would be OK since there are plenty of nasty things I could do in there still. Always wondered how easy it would be to be a girl and "get" your way out of jail. <div class="infobox">If someone gave you a few million dollars, how would you spend it?</div> On the market and make a few more. <div class="infobox">If you could see anyone in concert (time-travel is permitted), who would it be?</div> Wow, now thats a humdinger of a question. I would have to say Yo-Yo Ma, that would be one hell of a concert. Haha, all jokes aside, probably everyone at Woodstock in '69, especially Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. This is a GrokNews Entry: (what is grok?)Member Spotlight: hogGrok Headline matches for Member Spotlight: hogMember Spotlight: kittykat84Member Spotlight: kittykat84 09/01/2004 09:54 AM {_kitty}<b>Name:</b> Katherine <b>Birthdate:</b> 10/09/1984 (Same day as Sean and John Lennon) <b>Best Quality:</b> Kindness <b>Worst Quality:</b> Procrastination <b>First Mac:</b> Honestly, I can't recall my first Mac. It's been so long ago and I was far too young to know the specific Mac we had. I can tell you this though, I grew up with Apple and my heart belongs to it. <b>Current Setup:</b> 300Mhz G3 Rev. B iBook 320MB RAM, 20GB HD and 500Mhz G3, iMac DV SE Snow * <div class="infobox">What brought you to Spymac?</div> Constant pressure from fellow Spymac member, <a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=24531">Bl ackmyst</a>. Month after month I would watch him browse Spymac for hours and hours and I never could understand his fascination with this "online forum." Was there something I was missing? What was so special about it that drew him in for the majority of day? After much deliberation and several discussion with Blackmyst, I finally succumbed to the pressure and became a Spymac member. Over time, I finally understood why he spent so much time here. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite forum?</div> I spend the majority of my time in the Lounge, but sometimes I wander around the RLD. <div class="infobox">You have personal relations with another Spymac member, would you like to tell us a bit about that?</div> Blackmyst and I have been together as a couple for over two years now. He was my first kiss, my first boyfriend, and my first love; so this relationship/bond we have for each other is an extremely important part of my life. <div class="infobox">How long have you lived in Texas?</div> I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Yeehah. I've been a full blooded Texan for 19 years. <div class="infobox">What is your opinion on blogs?</div> The Blogging community on Spymac is wonderful. The blogs are one of the major reasons why I decided to join Spymac. It's a great outlet to release pent up emotions, showcase your artwork/poetry, or just write about your day. Not only do I enjoy blogging, but I enjoy reading blogs as well. I spend alot of my time carousing member's blogs while I'm on Spymac. <div class="infobox">How did you choose your Spymac username?</div> My nickname is Kat (derived from Katherine) + Kitty + my year of birth= <a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=29527">ki ttykat84</a>. <div class="infobox">If you could buy one item from a source of unlimited funds, what would that item be?</div> The life of my grandpa back. My grandpa died not too recently, and I only wish he was here longer. The time we spent together was time spent too short. I want to tell him all the things I wish I could have told him before his passing, but I never could seem to find the words. I know it's impossible to buy someones life back, but I couldn't think of any material objects I wanted, so this is my answer. <div class="infobox">How did you get involved with the CultSpy Awards?</div> Being a big fan of the blogs here on Spymac, naturally I came across RicTresa's blog. After reading entry one, I became hooked. So one day as I was doing my routine check of all my favorite blogs, I stopped by RT's blog and noticed a wanted sign looking for a volunteer to help judge blogs and hand out awards. Not only did I see this as a great opportunity to increase the sense of community amongst Spymac, but I also wanted to be apart of a great cause started by my fellow friend. <div class="infobox">Do you have any pets?</div> Two: a brother named Jake and a Doberman named Cricket. <div class="infobox">Are you into any games?</div> Dance Dance Revolution. I'm quite obsessed with DDR actually; enough to buy the dance mat and play DDR in my prom dress. I can play some Maniac on the machine, but the majority of the time I play Standard. My favorite songs are Nori, Nori, Nori, Burnin' the Floor, and Era. <div class="infobox">Do you have any hobbies?</div> I have several hobbies including dancing, running, art, photography and Spymac. <div class="infobox">Have you made many friends through Spymac?</div> Although I dont have as many mutual friends as Iccy82, I do have quite a few friends though Spymac. For me it's not about the quantity, it's about the quality of the friendship. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite food?</div> Living in Texas where the Mexican culture is dominate, I would have to say Mexican food. Not only do I enjoy eating it, I enjoy cooking it as well. My specialty is flautas. <div class="infobox">Do you work or attend school?</div> I currently attend the University of Texas at San Antonio where I'm majoring in art education and minoring in art history. This summer to earn a few extra dollars for school, I worked as a lifeguard. <div class="infobox">What's the secret urge you get but refuse to act on?</div> To dance in public. Being a dancer for so long, the rhythm is my blood and sometimes I get the urge to let loose and dance my heart out. <div class="infobox">If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose?</div> Naples, Italy because my older brother, who is in the Navy, lives there. It's almost been three years since I've seen my brother last and I hate to say it, but I miss him. Member Spotlight: littlefaeMember Spotlight: littlefae 09/22/2004 11:52 AM {_pic}<b>Name:</b> Leona Laing <b>Birthdate:</b> 18-01-1980 <b>Best Quality:</b> I think, that'd be my love for all people, good or bad. <b>Worst Quality:</b> My temper, when riled, is fearsome, so I'm told. <b>First Mac:</b> iBook G3 750Mhz, 12.1 inch - Dual USB - CD-ROM <b>Current Setup:</b> iBook G3 800, 14.1 inch - Dual USB - DVD-CDRW combo. <div class="infobox">What brought you to Spymac?</div> The recommendation of a friend on a MUSH, when I complained about my distinct lack of email space with my current ISP. Ambrosia, as she's known on the MUSH (Multi-User-Shared-Hallucination), pointed out the large GB email account, and, as I'm a devoted mac user, pointed out the 'mac' in the web address. <div class="infobox">Have you made many friends at Spymac?</div> I think so, if I haven't, then I'll convince myself that I have, as I like friends, I like to talk to them, help them, be the best friend I can to them. <div class="infobox">Do you have any hobbies?</div> I do, mainly in computing, because, well, I was raised with computers in my life, staring with the ZX81, through the Spectrum, and Amstrad PC2086D, then became a PC-mad fan, spending time learning all I could about all sorts of technologies. So, if I had to pick a single hobby, I guess I'd pick learning, learning all I can, while I can, for as long as I can, whatever I can. I'm a bookworm, you could say. <div class="infobox">Do you have any pets?</div> No, though I did once have a bunny when I was a tot, but, when it died because of a viscious dog, I never again took a pet, their lives are to short, and the loss of them, once attached, is too painful for me. That said, if a dog was facing adoption, or destruction, I would ALWAYS adopt the pooch, regardless of whether I had the space, in order to give it a good, happy life. <div class="infobox">Are you currently in school?</div> No, I work. <div class="infobox">If you could only have one, a cell phone or an iPod, which would you choose?</div> Tough choice, but, since my current cell phone does it all, practically, I guess I'd pick my cell phone, I can always dump MP3 onto it, even videos. <div class="infobox">Where is your ideal vacation destination?</div> The north pole. As I said, I crave knowledge. So, I would go to the north pole to learn the true effects of mankind's mark on the world in which we live, to see it for myself. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite food?</div> Being vegetarian, this is a hard choice, but I pick Bolognese. Made with something we brits know as 'Quorn' mince. Dunno if its the same name in other countries, but has to be made, not from a jar or packet. <div class="infobox">What is the one urge you often get but never act on?</div> In the spirit of the questionnaire, and the decency of PG-13 content, I abstain from answering this one, sorry. <div class="infobox">What kind of music are you into?</div> Ecclectic, I like nearly all music, with the near total exception of anything made this century, it's all synthetic garbage. My favourite artist is Thomas Dolby. <div class="infobox">How did you come up with your Spymac member name?</div> Simple, my name came about because of one deep dream I have, to be a real, honest to god, fairy. <div class="infobox">Do you belong to any other online communities?</div> Not in the same essence that Spymac is. I belong to a lot of online MU* (short for Multi-User *Anything). <div class="infobox">What is your favourite season?</div> Winter. Winter is beautiful, you get to see natures true beauty, the fractals of the trees, the crispness of the air, the facinating shapes of the clouds... <div class="infobox">How much time do you spend on Spymac each day?</div> When I first came here, quite a bit. Since getting my new job, not a lot, maybe a few hours a night? <div class="infobox">What is your favourite movie?</div> Bit of a coin-toss between Watership Down or Silent Running, I love Huey!

I'm getting a Mac soon though! * <div class="infobox">You spend a lot of time posting in the Longest Thread Ever (LTE), does that make the Lounge your favourite Spymac forum?</div> Yes it does, I love the <a href="http://www.spymac.com/forums/threadlist.php?catid=9" target="_blank">Lounge</a> and the <a href="http://www.spymac.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=2292&q uot; target="_blank">LTE</a>. I have many friends in the LTE. <div class="infobox">You also post frequently in Windows & Linux Alley, do you use a PC sometimes? </div> A PC is my main machine, except on weekends when I go to my friends and take over his <a href="http://www.apple.com/emac" target="_blank">eMac</a>! <div class="infobox">What brought you to Spymac? </div> A friend, <a href="http://www.spymac.com/member.php?memberid=42726" target=_"blank">Archfiend</a>, who also a member here, told me about it. I was originally a Mac hater, but now I'm a Mac lover! <div class="infobox">Have you made lots of friends at Spymac? </div> Yes, I have lots and lots of friends here over at Spymac. <div class="infobox">Do you have any hobbies? </div> Kind of, I like making small clips of my friends doing weird things. <div class="infobox">Do you have any pets? </div> Yes, <a href="http://www.spymac.com/gallery/show_photo.php?picid=235129&q uot;>I have a dog</a>. She is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, I love her, she is awesome. I also have a rabbit, and my sister has fish. <div class="infobox">Are you a cat or dog person? </div> Most definitely a dog person. Cats are evil, except my Grandma's cat, who isn't evil. <div class="infobox">Are you currently in school or working (or both)? </div> I'm a Freshman in High School, and no I don't have a job yet. <div class="infobox">If you could only have one, a cell phone or an iPod, which would you choose? </div> This is such a hard choice, I have both...but if I would have to choose, I would choose an iPod, because I could use my home phone, or my computer to communicate with friends. <div class="infobox">Do you travel much? </div> I've traveled a lot, but can't travel during the school year, apart from holidays. Next summer, I'm going back home to England for about 3 weeks, then going over to France. <div class="infobox">What is your favourite food? </div> Hmm... I love Steak and Kidney pie, with mushy peas, crazy and chips! Only us Brits understand this one! <div class="infobox">What is the one urge you often get but never act on?</div> I usually like a lot of girls, but I don't really have the guts to ask any out... <div class="infobox">What kind of music are you into? </div> I like rap, hip hop, rock, and other stuff. Rap used to be my favourite type of music, but now I'm more into rock. <div class="infobox">How did you come up with your Spymac member name? </div> Well, crunk means to be hyper, and I'm hyper most of the time, so theres crunk. Crumpet is what kids in school call me, because I'm from England. <div class="infobox">Do you belong to any other online communities? </div> Only my own forum... it is mesmerized.uni.cc, and uses phpbb2. <div class="infobox">How much time do you spend on Spymac each day? </div> During the summer I'd be on Spymac till 4:00 A.M., now that school has started it's about 10:00 P.M.
