^ Unfortunately usually too busy to run up and say hello and not always certain what on-line people look like, which can only complicate matters

< Step up and say hello, most of us don't bite... unless asked to. <_<

V Like to check out a new person for yourself or do you go by the opinions of others that talk about people behind their backs?

^ I make my own decisions about people & flatly refuse to play interpersonal politics.

< for some reason that makes people think I'm a nasty bitch <_<

YK, "stepping up" is a lot easier said than done sometimes.

V what do you do that makes people think you're nastier than you really are?

^ Come out with one concisely cold and viciously well placed comment in a calm and flip manner..sometimes almost a passing thought as I walk away.

< Not given to nastiness, but don't cross that line. Generally a one way trip.

V Put fluffiness into almost anything by habit..people seem to be amused by this..not the sally do good kind but the pooh kind

Fierce or fluffy?

^ brutally fierce and honest

< Nastier than I am? hmmm most people think that because they do not know me or feel threatened by me... I tend to listen more than talk so folks think I'm a snob... not only that but I suffer from tunnel vision when a job needs to be done... I tend to over focus on the task at hand and people literally need to shout at me to get my attention...

V girly girl or tomboy, man's man or lady's man?

^ not open to even those I know well, loyal to all until they play the betrayer, then I can forgive but I would rather move on after that... but attack my crew and family be warned...I will not start a fight but damnation I will finish it!

< Oh I still get involved with too many things... <_< spread thin most of the time

V favorite place to do research?

^ new favorite, the college library. They've got everything & will interlibrary loan for the few that they don't! You should see the librarian's face when I walk up to the desk <_<

< Not really tunnel vision but definitely obsessive. I get so into something that I *need* to know everything about it that I can.

V Need to know everything about everything or content to know everything about just one thing?

< Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

^ Twice, still trying to walk away from the second but they just have to keep at it...

^ Archangel's motto: No rest for the wicked

< personal motto: be quick to repent and forgive

^ a number of chances... they could just be having a bad day

< discerning is not judging... tis wise to sit back and study a person and see if their actions line up with their words

V who do you trust the most?

^ Yes I have and no I did not blow it... I hate letting people down, usually the first time is more than enough to get my act back in gear

< dang just found the mouring ring I've been trying to find and its 1740s bugger!

V hate going to a store and not finding what you need and then stare at the shelf as if that would help it materalize the item in question? snigger

< Hate finding exactly what I want only for it to be a. too expensive or b. man made materials even more than not finding something at all.

V Buy more or window shop more?

^ Hmmm I am a notorious window shopper because I am always looking for exactly the right thing before I spend my money

< Right now, throughly annoyed because I can not find the site with the proper late 17th century mourning rings, need one for my kit. The 1740 ring would have been perfect if it had been for the early GAoP, because Williamsburg still makes the band for only 25 bucks... grumble, grumble

VChole: since the kids grow out of shoes sooo quickly what are you opting for little swap's tootsies for GAoP?

V anyone else: how detailed do you get in yer kit and persona?

^ oh boy, I could write a dissertation on shoes :blink: Suffice it to say, I don't know yet because I'm not convinced I've found all the options for PC children's shoes. What I'd love to do is find something really high quality & authentic & share it down the line with other people as they are out grown. I swear I saw a guy in the UK who had a "children's shoe scheme" where you could keep getting bigger shoes as the kids out grew them for less than buying a brand new pair every time (can't find it now though of course).

< I think I over think this stuff sometimes, but it's just so much fun!

V Passing on Sterling's other question. How detailed do you get in your kit and persona?

^ not so deep that I go off the deep end... but I do spend plenty of time staring into the abyss.

< feeling like quoting Sgt Uniblab for some odd reason... "Blackjack, Blackjack, everybody wins, everybody wins. Spacely's a jerk." Not sure where that came from, but it popped into my head earlier today... OH! I know, the kids were watching Penelope Pitstop on Boomerang this morning... that made me think of old cartoons...
