What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever done?

Probably the only time I ever messed up majorly during a solo was a solo in church where I couldn't remember the words.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be and why?

My weight. Although I am slowly losing for the Air Force and I've come really far, it's hard to lose weight.

If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be and why?

I would be a successful country singer like Martina McBride or Lila McCann; just to know what it's like to perform for one night and feel the energy from the audience while sharing music with them.

If you were to be stranded on a tropical deserted island and could bring three things (or people) with you, what would they be?

I would bring Dale Earnhardt Jr., my karaoke machine with music so I could sing and my laptop to write down stories.

How long have you been a member of the Outpost?

Since late 1999.

How did you find out about it?

Jon (Hampster) invited me.

What was your first impression of the Outpost?

I had met Jon in a Yahoo! Star Trek chat, so I was amazed at the sophistication that this had compared to Yahoo! chat rooms.

What persuaded you to keep chatting at the Outpost?

The more I came, the more friends I made and it seemed it actually mattered whether if I was there or not. If I was gone for awhile and came back, it seems someone would always know.

How much time do you spend chatting?

I stop in late at night, once a day usually.

Do you think having departments is a good idea? Why or why not?

Yes! I love working in my departments! I've met some good friends that way and it's a great way to help advance yourself. It really makes it feel almost like a real Star Trek situation.

Do you participate in monthly contests for the Guilds? If yes, how often?

I send in a poem once a month, send in stories for the Writing Guild and I've taken part in a few contests like the 2002 Easter Egg Hunt.

What is your opinion on the Plan of the Future?

Communications has already made its changes for the future in our ranks and I'm liking the arrangement better. So to me, so far, it's great.

What do you think of the changes being made to the community (Creation of a new department, merging of departments, general organization, etc. ...)?

It's confusing at first about whom you're reporting to and everything new that comes with it, but OTF didn't last this long by not learning by trial and error. We'll find the better ways to work as the years go by.

If you could open another chat room in the Outpost, what theme would you choose?

Maybe a miscellaneous Sci-Fi chat. You can't make a chatroom for everything, but maybe another place for people who like stuff other than ST or SW to meet, then again our extra chat rooms beyond TF and CCC are barely used, so it's probably not a need.

If you could play a practical joke on Admiral Andrew Maxwell, what would it be?

I think we all should have gotten together, shown up at his graduation and embarrassed the heck out of him.

If you could have the Admiral's command code and access to all the pages for a day, what would you do?

I'm such an idiot, but I think the only thing I don't have access to that I would want, is to use my own avatars instead of the ones from the list and maybe an unlimited character amount in my dossier.

If you were given access to the Admiral's handbag for a day, what would you do?

Steal all the gum out of it and put a bunch of Flower Child stickers all over it.

Who should be the next Outpost Admiral and why?

*is scared* Is Andrew leaving? NOOOOOOOOOO! *holds onto Andrew's legs and whimpers*

What do you think is an acceptable bribe to offer for the next Admiral's position?

Um.... "Get Out Of A Rubber Band Pinging Free" card?

Are the Admiralty really Sith Lords in disguise? (Remember, there are always two of them!)

I wouldn't know, they don't give me that much to think about.

If there were mutiny in the Outpost, who would you follow?

Cosette.... *LOL*

Is Babel really a Time Lord?

Nah, he's too irate.

Who is the true Boss Kitty: RDMG or KittyKat?

KK!!!!!!!! I have to say that because she's my Comm boss and I'd hear it first from her if I didn't say her, although a demotion may accidentally happen since I said Kathryn.

What colour robes suit Darth Damos best?

Whichever color matches his eyes.

What is a Teekador?

An animal in New Oklahoma named after TeeKay?

What does C.T. stand for?

You know, I could make this into a bag joke, but this was left open WAY too much, so I'll say that it stands for Crazy Texan.

What does J.J. stand for?

Jumping Jackrabbit... *coughs* Okay, I couldn't resist the bad joke.

Do you have any further comments on Outpost 10F or this interview?

I think this new way of getting interviews is a great idea, you guys.
