BR: so tell us some more about yourself…

RosieGirl20: What would you like to know? I'm 20 years old and I’ve been a fan of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings since I was very young. I may not be a super nerd about them but I still love them just the same. Most of the gaming I enjoy are tabletop RPG's such as D&D or Gamma World, even BattleTech. I'm currently trying to find a job so I can put myself through journalism school and my fiancé and I are going to get married within the next couple of years.

BR: How did you find Outpost10F?

RosieGirl20: Simply put? I googled "Lord of the Rings chat rooms." I was tired of all the chat rooms that were full of idiots so I was looking for something similar to what I had been a part of when Lord of the Rings fan sites where big.

BR: What do you like most about the Outpost so far?

RosieGirl20: I like the community and how everyone is welcoming here. It's nice to be a part of something again.

BR: What are some things that you like to do outside of the Outpost?

RosieGirl20: I game as I said earlier and I love to play music and I have played flute since I was about 8. I also play other instruments as well as sing but I don't really want to list them all. :D

BR: Does your Outpost name have any special meaning?

RosieGirl20: Actually it does sort of. When I was 12 I went on a tag board for the first time and I couldn't think of a name. It was an LOTR fan site and everyone had really common names, so I thought of Rosie, the hobbit that Samwise is in love with and eventually marries. So I put the name "RosieGirl". The 20 and the end of it now is my age and also because I didn't want the name to be already taken ^^

BR: Have any special talents?

RosieGirl20: Music, Writing, and Role-play (simming) which sort of falls under writing for me. Those are definately my strong points.

BR: What's something that most people would find surprising about you?

RosieGirl20: Well as my chauvinistic fiancé said, "you're a girl and you like to game." But I'd prefer to think people would be surprised at how well I can sing.

BR: Why did you choose your affiliation?

RosieGirl20: I chose it because I was looking for something LOTR related, and now that I see there isn't much here in the way of that around here I think it's time for a little bit of change!

BR: If you could do one thing for a day what would you do?

RosieGirl20: I would most defiantly go to the UK. I've always wanted to see it and it's sort of a plus that a lot of the people on here live there. Somebody to visit! :D

BR: Coming from the perspective of a new person, Is there anything that you think could make the Outpost even better?

RosieGirl20: I think just gathering in more people to help and revive the site would defiantly be worth it. I know there are people out there with the talent to help make it an even more active site and I see a lot of potential in it to be even bigger than it is.

BR: Finish this thought: Successful people…

RosieGirl20: Work hard to get where they are.

BR: Anything Else you’d like to add?

RosieGirl20: Just that I’m happy to be here and that I'm excited about being a part of this site :)

BR: Thanks for taking some time for the Blue Report.
