I have no idea, Thorvin is how I know him.
Tell us the story of one of the dumbest, funniest or most embarrassing things you've done as an adult.
Well, I could actually write a book about all of the things I have done, but I will try and narrow it down. I think one of the most embarrassing ones was I had had knee surgery, and I was a rock star let me tell you. They told me it would be six months before I would be able to return to work, and I said hell no, watch me! So at three months I drive over to work to drop off my note from my Doctor saying I was good. Now I live in the frozen north, and it is snowy where I live, and we had three days of non stop snow. I pull up right in front of the front of the building, because staff parking was full, get out of my vehicle, and grab my briefcase, my purse and my Timmie's tea. I walk around the back of my SUV through snow that is just below my knees (Yes I am short) and try to feel for the curb. I give my leg a mighty heave out of the snow to where I think the side walk is, and after gyrating wildly for what seems like forever, I promptly face plant into the snow. Having my priorities straight, I manage to save my tea, and I reach for the back of my vehicle to try and wrench myself out., hoping no one saw anything. No such luck, not surprisingly, and my two managers, and the office manager rush out as they, along with some of persons served. and the secretary saw the whole thing. This is the sort of thing that happens to me all the time, from the time I was in high school, until the present day.
What's the coolest job you've ever had? What's the worst? (And why?)
My favourite jobs have been working with people no one else wants to. Gang entrenched youth, adults with developmental delays and mental illness. While the work is tough, they have given me so many funny memories, and great stories. I have also learned a lot from them. I much prefer working with boys/males than females as I am NOT good with back stabbing drama. I would rather work with 6 foot tall gang entrenched boys than a couple of girls. Actually that is another embarrassing story. One of my managers wanted me to work with twin sisters, that were known for fighting with each other. Before my filter could kick in and come out with something appropriate I looked him dead in the eye and sad "That's a hard no!" oops I am very matter of fact and I once horrified a poor youth after he called my a cunt. Later on, when he was in jail, he called to apoligise to me for calling me what he considered the worst name ever. I told him it did not matter, nor did it bother me. In surprise he stated "It didn't?" I told him no, that cunt is just another name for Vagina, and if he thought calling me a vagina was an insult then he was wrong. I told him half the population had a vagina, while the other half had penis's, and as far as I could see having a penis did not seem to give anyone an advantage, and as a matter of fact it often seemed to drop their owners IQ. He was honestly speechless after that.
The worst was working in retail. It was not so much the work or the people, but being forced to push a credit card that I did not believe in onto vulnerable people. I hated it!
Name three video games you'll replay no matter how old they get. (And why?)
Wow, Final Fantasy, and whatever the kids want me to play with them. I am not great at console games, but it sure opens up communication with youth and my grand babies.
Tell us about the most annoying person you've ever met, and why he/she annoyed you.
I will be honest, somewhat like my daddy, I do not always suffer fools gladly. I can handle people having different opinions, background, and ideas from me, that is what makes the world interesting. The only people that have ever truly annoyed me are the ones that lack imagination, see only black and white and are closed minded. Learning is a lifetime thing, and I believe it is important to keep your mind open, and look for opportunities to learn more myself.
Tell us something cool about yourself that has nothing to do with gaming. (Free hint: responding to your application thread with photo or video supporting evidence is a plus!)
I don't know if I am even cool. I certainly have never sought to be. My goal has been to be authentic, caring, make a difference in the world. My grandchildren think I am cool because I game, but who knows. I have a very British. black, twisted and absurd sense of humour, and, thanks to my upbringing, love terrible puns. I have a ton of patience, and when I do actually get mad, friends and work mates have found it hysterical, partly because I so rarely do, and because I am so short. My daddy was a minister (very liberal) who could give a great sermon based on biblical history and accuracy, and was not afraid to call bullshit on biblical arrogance. He also loved to wear his tee shirt that said " Ain't I just a big fucking ray of Sunshine?" along with his sunshine headband. I am telling you this, because I am his daughter through and through. I can fight for the underdog, pray for someone in need, and then laugh hysterically over an inappropriate/dirty joke. What ever you do don't try and pigeon hole me. I went to church with my tongue piercing until my dentist made me take it out, and I still want a tattoo of a Celtic cross. I love conversations that build take an ordinary thing, but between my friends and I we build up the absurd, back and forth until we can barely breath we are laughing so hard. I remember when I was making some curtains and table runners for my sister, and she bought waaaaaay too much fabric. To truly appreciate the conversation you would have had to have seen the Sound of Music, but when she asked what to do with the rest of the fabric, I told her we needed to make "play clothes". Well my niece and nephew are adopted, and my nephew is very obviously half Asian, so as I described him wearing lederhosen, and my tomboy niece in a dress and kerchief I thought my sister was going to collapse she was laughing so hard. This is the type of absurdity that I love.
Why choose the Unrepentant Gaming Community over just a regular gaming guild?
I am not someone who follows trends, cliques, or narrow paths. I march to the beat of my own drum, so I do not fit into guilds or groups that take themselves too seriously, or have a lot of structure. I have left guilds that had too much of a military mindset for me. promoting or demoting people depending on whether they kiss the leaders ass or not. Who knows, I may not be a good fit for you folks, but the laughter and absurdity of all you fine folk on discord sure appealed to me!
BONUS: Ask us some questions! We're sure you've got some.
What is the best Monty Python movie in your opinion? Why? What are some of the funniest things you have ever done? What is one absolute no no in your guild? Does it matter if I only chose to play two games?
You enter a cave before starting an adventure. A wise old man tells you "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this." What does he hand you and why?
Well in my opinion he had better hand me a dog, big or little it does not matter to me, because then I will never be alone. Besides God spelled backwards is Dog, so there has to be some sort of big cosmic reason there.
