Best dessert you have every had?

TymmerieThorne’s Profile PhotoTymmerie Thorne
I don't know if it's the "best", but it was definitely the most memorable. I was at a Japanese restaurant, and I had the opportunity to have fried red bean ice cream for dessert. It was really good, and I was surprised that it would be sweet. I remember walking around Chinatown with my friend looking for more red bean ice cream - gotta have more! :D

Do you have a set order of things to wash in the shower? Where do you start and where do you end?

I start with the upper part of my body...then the lower part, and then end with the middle part. I stopped washing my hair in the shower though because it kept clogging the drain...besides sometimes I like to give myself treatments and it sucks having to hop back in and out of the shower.

Is it bad that I don't want my boyfriend to spend money on me? I know he wants to spoil me but I don't like it when a guy wants to spend money on me for no reason...unless its for a holiday or something.

Why don't you like it when a guy wants to spend money on you outside of special occasions/holidays?
What comes to mind isn't whether it's good or bad, but it would make me wonder whether it's a trust thing (e.g. he may want to cash in on all of those "gifts" that he gave) or a self-esteem issue (i.e. outside of holidays or special occasions I don't feel worthy of getting gifts because being me is not enough to warrant a gift}.

What article of clothing most closely describes your personality?

Probably jeans...laid back and puts everyone at ease ^^

People should be more like you. Tell me why.

I'm not quick to judge people, and I do my best to treat others the way that I would like to be treated.

What person who thinks they are a SLebrity annoys you the most?

I'm not sure...I would like to know who these SLebrity people are though lol.

What kinds of pictures on blogs and/or Flickr drive you crazy in a bad way?

Ones that have jagged edges, or not sized properly. Especially the ones that should be stretched out...why don't people know how to do that? :(

Are there names where if a shoe or hair has that name you refuse to buy it because it reminds you of someone you dislike? Which names?

I'll probably roll my eyes if I saw the name, but if I liked the item, I would buy it. It's not that serious, people.

Do you boycott any stores in SL? Why or why not?

Yes I do. The few that I do boycott is all due to the merchants who own those stores. If I don't like how the merchants have treated others, plus what they sell is not unique to them, there is no need to shop there. However the decision to boycott a SL store is mine alone. I won't boycott a store just because a bunch of people told me to do it because they don't like a person for reasons that I can't verify.

Do you think you're in a healthy relationship if you never fight? I know some people say it's healthy to fight but what if you and your partner NEVER fight?

I would need to know more details...like how long have we been together...what sort of problems have we faced, and does one (or both) of us prone to giving in and compromising on things to avoid fighting. Also, a couple doesn't have to necessarily fight if they can respect each other's differing opinions...fights usually occur when one isn't considerate of the other's feelings and cares more about being right.
I know I didn't answer this yes or no, but I don't think it's a yes or no question.

What's the worst thing you've done to someone in SL?

Probably the worst thing I have done was use one of those security dick things and rez it near someone...and watch them get pushed into a corner LMAO.
Generally, even though I am capable of thinking up evil things to do to people to "get back" at them...I don't (which is why many of my friends say I'm too nice to people). Also, I feel like I don't have to "do" anything because I already said my piece to the offending party, so there's nothing else to do but maybe to block them so that I don't have to be bothered with them anymore.

If variety is the spice of life, what spice are you and why?

I'm going to go with cayenne pepper...some people love the heat, and others can't take it.

What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid?

There were so many...lol. I liked the shows that was on TGIF on ABC...and I liked Saturday morning cartoons like TMNT. Then when i was a teenager, I watched with my younger cousins DBZ, Sailor Moon, and Kung Fu: The Legend Returns. Also, Buffy, Xena, and Hercules were my favorite prime time tv shows.

Which SL events are you most looking forward to right now?

At the moment I am thinking about the up-and-coming Skin Fair ^^

Someone I'm friends with is friends with someone that has said mean and hurtful things to me, would you be friends with them?

If they have things in common with me, why not?
The thing is, suppose if I would say ok I won't be friends with someone who is friends with someone who talks about my friend. Then my friend and that other person work out whatever issues that they have. Where does that leave me...because I didn't have a legitimate grip with them, it makes me look bitchy. I wouldn't want someone not to be friends with me for a reason like that, so I can't do the same to someone else.

What's the best part of your day?

In the evening after dinner time when I get to relax without too many interruptions.

When you go shopping in RL do you go alone or take someone with you?

I go alone - most of the time when I go shopping it's not convenient for others to go with me for whatever reason.

If you had to do a guest post on another blog which blog would you choose? Why? Who would you want to do a post on your blog?

To be honest, I have never thought about doing guest posts on other people's blogs, and vice versa. I am a blogger on a blog but I am horrible about making posts there.
However, I have always wanted to be in a photo with another blogger, so it would be like one photo, two different looks. I kinda did it with this post:
http://monisworldsl.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/steph-ii-by-alice-project/
but that was a while ago, so would love to revisit it with some of my fellow blogger friends. Who in particular? I'll have to get back on you with that :)

What topic would you like to see explored in a non fashion blog post? Anything you are curious about and want someone else to do all the research?

I always wanted to learn more about SL entertainment - where to go for good live venues, clubs with good DJs, etc. I remember when I did coverage for GOL the 9th's grand opening, I was excited because I have not seen too many blog posts covering such.

The use of the word 'sponsor' to describe creators who give promotional copies in exchange for exposure on a blog is an awful, embarrassing trend. How can we stop it? (I mean, other than bringing in Sally Struthers herself to hand out review copies to people.)

TymmerieThorne’s Profile PhotoTymmerie Thorne
Well first, I guess telling store owners to stop requiring their logos to be on blogs in order to be considered to be a blogger would be a start. Otherwise, it's a matter of educating those who refer to such as sponsors. Instead of ignoring notecards/IMs and having a laugh or a rant with friends, explain to the would-be blogger why it's impossible for them to be called a sponsor for their blog. I really believe most of the people who call creators that provide promotional items sponsors because they saw someone else use the term.
Many blogs catering to SL are on free platforms, and thus don't need anyone to sponsor them. Those who have paid domains and the like either provide self-support, or use other means to support their blog. It's not like an event where sponsors may be needed so the event coordinators can pay for the parcel/sim the event will be on. Even though big-name sponsors help promote the event by attracting people to it, promotion and sponsorship are two different things.

Are you poopular? (Yes. Poopular.)

No (and yes I had to look up what the difference between "popular" and "poopular" meant haha)

When you think of the word 'penis' what visuals come to mind?

Bikini briefs with a noticeable bulge...and penis lol. Always erect though, never flaccid.

Can I trust you to babysit my prim son, Blocky?

TymmerieThorne’s Profile PhotoTymmerie Thorne
Sure...I would just need to know any special rules for Blocky. You know, no feeding after midnight, not getting him wet, etc.

Do you have any pet peeves about SL people (not SL itself)?

Sometimes I wonder where all the snarky attitudes in SL comes from...like I can be in a group chat and someone asks a question and they get attacked automatically. I actually left a group I had been in for a while because it was getting to the point where every time there were a significant amount of people on, someone always had something negative to say.
Also, avatars that wear facelights...please stop blinding me :(

Can TV make us stupid?

Yes if you watch stupid shows and believe what they promote. Don't get me wrong - I watch mostly reality tv shows nowadays, but I'm not trying to emulate what they do on tv.
