1. 1. What are you looking for from the Gather community?                  friends, amusement, people who will read my poetry         
   2. Who invited you to Gather, or how did you find Gather?        i think somebody from myspace emailed me about it....i don't remember really
   3. If you had to pick your best article and/or image posted on Gather, what would it be?     best article being "i am blind"
   4. What is the best tip you have learned for participating in the Gather community?    don't eat yellow snow lol
   5. What do you look for in a comment on one of your articles and/or images?       the sincerety of their message.  i swear people don't read my work they just comment
   6. If you could spend $1000 on someone you do not know (perfect stranger), how would you spend it (you cannot benefit at all materially in the process)?        i'd donate it to a homeless shelter
   7. If you were given $1000 to play a practical joke on someone (family, friend, or stranger), what would you do?  Indicating WHO is optional.      i would buy as many cartons of eggs that i could and cover my mother's house and cars in it
   8. If you were given a $1000 to show appreciation to someone you do know, how would you spend it?  Once again, indicating WHO is optional.   i would take my grandmother on a great vacation
   9. If you were given $1000 to spend totally on yourself in 30 minutes or less, how would you spend it?       clothes, games, cameras, art supplies, and lots of red bull and smokes
   10. If you were given $1000 to donate to just one charity, which would you pick.  Why is optional.         it's not really a charity but a local center around here.  center for independent living.  people my age are in nursing homes because they are homeless and have nowhere else to turn.  the state can only help them so much by getting them housing and food.  occasionally they will pay a bill or two but they have no means to get furniture or appliances.  so i would donate it to them as i have been in tough situations myself and always feel the need to help others (actually i am somewhat working with them now).
   11. Do you know what your life's passion is?  Are you living it?      my life's passion is music.  i karoke a lot but it's not enough.  i want to sing in a blues band with my own music and lyrics.
   12. How satisfied are you currently?     well i start school monday which is awesome but also nerve wracking as i lack microsoft office and it is the only acceptable form of documentation.  but we'll stop there cos it only gets sadder
   13. Do you feel you have a satisfactory social life?  If not, how would you improve it?     i need to stay in touch with my friends more often and find other people who are like me.  as i find myself in friendships that are just really aquaintances for the sake of not being alone.
   14. What is your favorite way to relax? What is your favorite way to have fun?     i wasn't aware that relaxing was an option.  i write a lot really.  fun?   karoke, pool, and alcohol
   15. What would you request as your last meal?      fried green tomatoes and potato pancakes
