1. Why do you feel you want to go to Uni? It isn't the best place for everyone. Given your talent, you are doing better then college kids.My mom says the same thing, lol. I may/may not go to a Uni/College someday. I'll just see what I feel about it. I personally don't think that it's particularly 'for' me either, I'd just love to study archaeology a little more in depth, I've studied on my own, read books, rented documentaries/movies, but that's not obviously everything there is to know about it. 2. What exactly draws you to writing?I dunno exactly, I've always had a passion for writing, I was always known for it in school. I'd be asked to write a 2 page paper on something and I'd turn in an 8 page, lol. But in school you're really not allowed to write about what you want or create stories yourself, it's mostly writing what the teacher wants you to write about. I don't mind doing summarys and writing papers on books, it's more freeing to write about something you want and care about. I haven't written anything in the past 2 years, but I recently had to for the Survivor game on BTVSfigs, and I had to write a fanfic. I had never written one before, so I had no idea what to do. So naturally, I saved it until the last minute, and I realized I couldn't put it off anymore and that it would be more embarassing if I weren't to write anything, so I did some research on Supernatural (we were supposed to cross Buffy with another show: Supernatural, Lost or Heroes), I hadn't seen the show yet so I had to get some background info on the Wincester brothers, and I just wrote it. It ended up winning, which I was totally shocked by, and it's really awoken my urge to write again. Wow, that was long winded, sorry 3. Favourite custom you have made so far? Why?I always loved the Bargaining Buffy that I made. She was one of my earlier ones, but I just love how she turned out. 4. Favourite custom you have not made? Why?Selfless Anya (white dress, with blood). That's among one of my favorite moments in Buffy history, I will make her someday, I just want to make sure I'm ready. 5. What's your favorite collectible?I don't collect any of the Buffy collectibles I collect customs mainly. The only collectibles I do own are some of the busts from the Harry Potter line. 6. Favorite Buffy episode?Probably Selfless. 7. Favorite Angel episode?Reunion and I also really like The House Always Wins. 8. What show would you love to guest star in and in what capacity? Why?Supernatural, I just love that show. It wouldn't really matter what part I'd play, I think it would be a fun experience.

1. What or Who inspired you to customize?Seeing Sasha's (MsBigPileofDust) work really inspired me. It continues to inspire my work 2. Which custom would you like to do but haven't got a chance yet?Selfless Anya (like I mentioned above), and Orpheus Cordelia (black outfit). 3. Do you have any freaky abilities?Nothing that I can think of. 4. What super power would you like to have and why?Teleporting, that way I could go wherever I wanted. 5. List 5 facts about yourself.-I love watching movies (and I'm a big commentary freak, lol) -I'm a Harry Potter fan -My favorite color is green -I've lived in Wisconsin all of my life -I don't have any brothers or sisters 6. Which TV character can you most relate to and why?Probably Xander. I always try to look for humor in everything, I never went to college either I made my own way, I've had my differences with my family. He's never been the one with the super powers, but like he said he's able to take a step back and see what's going on, which is what I do. And I completely understand where Xander was coming from when he left Anya at the alter. He didn't want them to become his parents, which I totally understand (my mom's marriages haven't been exactly pleasant). I just wish he could have called off the wedding earlier. 7. What would you consider your dream vacation?Going to New Zealand. 8. What would you consider your guilty pleasures?Chocolate, lol 9. What would you consider your deepest fear?Deep water, even though I can swim, deep water has always freaked me out. 10. What 3 things you'd like to do before the world ends?Visit all the places I always wanted to see, fall in love, and spend as much time with my family as I possibly can. 11. Anything you regret not doing in your life so far? No, not really. 12. When you'd become an archaeologist; would you rather be like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft (gender differences aside)?I'm more like Indiana Jones when it comes to archaeology. Lara is cool, but I see Indiana's perspective more. 13. What mythical artifact would you like to discover?This might sound weird to some of you, but I'd love to discover Noah's Ark. I love religious artifacts, so that would be a big one. But a more realistic one would be anything to do with ancient Egyptian artifacts. 14. Which places in the world have you visited so far?I haven't been out of the United States yet, unfortunately. I've visited Washington D.C., and some other historical sites in that area. I love traveling, but I just haven't had the time to do much of it yet. I would love to do more of it in the next few years. I also have a fear of flying (in an airplane), so I'd have to overcome that before I can go to different countries. 15. Which places you would like to visit next?I really want to go to Canada, New Zealand, Australia, London, and Paris.

1. Are you getting on with your Mom better?
Yeah, we have been getting along pretty well. We have our moments, but for the most part it is better.
2. What inspired you to make your own Harry Potter Forum (BTW I love the look of it)
I was inspired to make a Harry Potter forum because I haven't come across a regular one, all the ones I ever saw were RPG's. I thought that there should be a forum just for regular discussion of Harry Potter, because I'm sure not every Harry Potter fan isn't interested in RPG (I'm not).
3. What type of cell phone?do you have?
Don't have a cell phone yet.
4. What is your fave game on this Forum?
The ABC games are always fun.
5. Which Buffy star would you love to meet and why?
I'd love to meet Eliza Dushku, she seems like she'd be an interesting person to be able to talk with.
6. Whats your fave item of clothing?
Do shoes count? I just love my pink/black pair of sketchers.
7. Do you sleep with your Teddy Bears?
Nope, sometimes with one of my kitties though, lol.
8. What was you first ever custom?
My first custom with sculpey was Shroud of Rahmon Angel. Before him I did a couple of Anya repaints.

What one thing MUST you complete in this life?
Travel and see the world.
Do you believe in lttle green men? Why/not?
I have mixed feelings on that. I kind of believe in them. I've seen a lot of documentaries on this, and some are quite believable, especially the crop circle thing, those things are made absolutely perfect without breaking the stalks, it's hard to believe a group of people did those perfectly each time. But I don't fully believe, I guess I'd have to see something myself in order to believe.
Which celebs have you met?
I haven't met any yet, but I may be going to a Supernatural/Buffy con in November so I could meet Jensen, Jared, and Nick Brendon. I really hope I'm able to go.

1. Do you want children?
Maybe. If I do I'll either have just 1 of my own, or end up adopting (there are a lot of children out there that need homes).
2. As I have never seen Harry Potter before would you recommend to me the book or film?
Definitely the books, there is so much more in them. If you only watch the movies you'll miss important facts. The movies are great, but I would recommend reading the books first.
3. What do you think of the FanForums?
I think it's great that there are so many topics on one forum, but I don't like their policy of not sharing other forum links (you can't even have a link in your sig), it seems a bit selfish to me. They said they don't want the competition.
4. Are you in a relationship?
Not at the moment, no.
5. How many Buffy/Angel stars have seen your custom work?
As far as I know only Juliet Landau has seen my work.
6. How many websites/Forums are you admin/in control over?
I have 2 of my own forums: Godric's Hollow & the Magic Box. And I'm admin here, BTVSfigs, and SlayAlive.
7. What did you do with yout time before you started customising?
I mostly read. I started customizing a few months after I graduated from high school.
8. What chores do you hate the most?
Washing the dishes. I really don't like it at all. I used to work at a restaurant for over a year, and that's all I did, that's probably why I dislike it so much now.
9. What are your animals called?
My dog's name is Buffy. My 2 cats are named Moony and Scooby.
10. Are you looking forward to Ripper?
Yes I am. I'm so glad that Buffy is finally continueing onscreen. I enjoy the comics, but I'd much rather watch them onscreen.

What kind of music do you listen to when you are working on a custom?
I usually don't listen to music, I either will put on a movie or a tv show (Angel, Buffy, Firefly, etc.). I like to listen to commentaries while I'm working. When I do listen to music it's usually like Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake, and stuff like that.
What the weirdest request you ever got for a custom?
I haven't gotten many weird ones yet (I know other customizers have gotten really weird ones), but the weirdest one was an Alyson Hannigan request for an almost-nothing fantasy outfit. I explained to the person that I only do episode specific outfits, or photoshoot outfits.
What do you consider to be your most challenging custom a customer requested?
The Operative from Serenity was quite a difficult figure to make.
At what age did you start customizing figures?
18, right before my 19th birthday.
You seem creative in making your customs are there any other different hobbies of creative things your good at?
I also make DIY neckaces on occassion, they're fun, but I still prefer customizing.
What is your favorite btvs character custom to to make from Buffy besides Buffy?
Anya, I really enjoy making customs of her, but unfortunately I hardly ever get requests for her. I make them when I have time.
What's your favorite part of the forum?
Game section
Worst section?
I don't think there's a bad section, but one I don't go to is the soap opera section.
Do you like cheese?...since you live in America's dairy heart land..
I do love cheese, but I'm a bit lactose-intolerant, so I have to be sure not to eat too much.
Are you Packers Fan?
Nope. Not much for football. I prefer tennis.
If you ever met Joss what would you tell him?...same for J.K. Potter author
For Joss, I'd probably turn into a freak and start stuttering, lol. But seriously, I'd tell him how much I've enjoyed the show, and let him know which arcs I liked and what I didn't like. Just to give him a little feedback.
For J.K. it would probably be the same deal, and I'd ask her some details I always wanted to know. Like what happened to Harry's grandparents, why some ghosts stay and haunt, and while some move on. Just to know what her explanation behind it would be.
Who would win in a fight Harry or Anyanka?
While Anyanka is physically stronger than Harry, I think Harry could kick her ass, he's a lot quicker on the draw than she is.
