Definitely when I had my shop open and was making stuff. Of course anything purchased made me feel valued, but it was emphasized when someone sent me a message thanking me for something I'd made, or for the good customer service I'd provided.

I love regardless of if I'm assuming the worst or feeling pain. Loving, for me, is not something I can help. I just love people, that's all.

I've tried a few time to collaborate. I think the hardest part is that, since I'm not in the same room as the person, I can't tell if they're capitulating to some suggestion of mine just because they don't want to argue, or if they genuinely think it's a good idea. It was definitely more frustrating than rewarding.
I think the trick with collaboration is to work with someone who you can *trust* to work well with you, that you won't doubt that they're support of your decisions is genuine. There is someone in SL that I think I'd collaborate well with, and we might actually get to it sometime soon. :) -
The best team I ever worked with was actually for a group assignment in college. We had to adapt a myth to a puppet play, including selecting what kind of puppets, and constructing them. I think it worked well because no one had any ego about the thing, no one tried to control everyone or micromanage. Everyone volunteered what their strengths were, and we were able to easily divide up the work, and everyone was happy to do what they were good at to contribute. And the end result was fabulous :)

Limbo would be sorta appropriate. "those are limbo clothes" xD

Well, number one is creating. I'm an artist through and through, so making things really puts me in my element. It's almost like meditation, and it makes me feel balanced and right with the world.
Number two would be lurking about in random shops looking bizarre with my fae companion anathema. :)
Number three would be hanging out at a my favorite club that no longer exists - no ads, no gestures allowed, clothing optional, strange and interesting people, fantastic music, well made grungey-but-not-over-the-top building. The people I met there were the kind of people I genuinely like to hang out with - intelligent, quirky, a bit dark sometimes, almost always funny and absurdist. And the music was stuff that if it wasn't in my playlist, soon would be. I miss it. -
Although I know that my ADHD gives me certain advantages, ones that I probably couldn't identify, but would notice if they were gone, I would love be ride of my distractable-ness

Finding an odd little industrial club that was not filled with ad boards and cheap crap, and experimenting on the dance poles LOL. I met the owner while I was there, and he became one of my first sl friends. He told me he thought I was an alt because I looked so good for being so young. I still don't know if he was telling the truth, or just trying to flatter :P

Exercise!
I know, that sounds weird. What I mean is - I want SL to be a full Virtual Reality experience, I want to be able to strap myself into a suit and then be able to really experience wandering through all the weird sims, experience being a mermaid, experience flying! And have it all actually *workout* my body.
Wouldn't that kickass?? :D -
Funny you should ask, I was just talking about this with my mister the other day - I was saying that maybe in my past lives I was a cat, and I decided to be human to see what it was like ... and now I'll definitely go back to being a cat XD
More seriously, it would be pretty fascinating to be a whole lot of things. For instance - did you know bees can see Brownian Motion? (for them, the whole world sort of vibrates). And one slime mold organism can be *miles* long! What's life like for a tree that can live for hundreds or even thousands of years? Being a whale would amazing, and so would being a shark. Birds of course - I think I'd pick an albatross out of that group.
Yanno, if I could, maybe I'd pick being a whole ecosystem, a whole planet. :) -
I don't care enough to believe or disbelieve anything. Thanks, come again!

I'm not really one of those horror fanatics who watches anything that's horrific, but I do tend to like them - especially when they have elements of science fiction or fantasy in them. I know not everyone will count ghost stories as horror, but they are sort of a traditional kind of horror story, and I love them A LOT.
So, let's see here ... favorite horror movie ... man, that's tough. I think it's a toss up between Silent Hill and 1408. They are both very visceral and yet retain the mythic element that good ghost stories have. There is redemption in both, but at a steep price. Silent Hill, especially, has a very elegant aesthetic to both the story and the visuals. 1408 had the deep satisfaction of *proof*.
Ok, now for the horror movie I dislike the most ... (this is also tough because I'm pretty easy to please lol) ... I'm gonna have to go with Event Horizon. And it's not even that it was necessarily a bad movie - in fact, I feel incapable of judging that. It just left me with a really bad feeling. You know, there's good creepy/scary and there's bad creepy/scary ... ie traumatizing lol. Event Horizon left me feeling raw and traumatized and unsatisfied. I didn't feel like I got anything out of having been exposed to it. It could be that I'm just tired of the "alternate dimensions = HELL" equation. Or maybe that one Twilight Zone I saw when I was little where the girl gets trapped in another dimension left me permanently scarred. ;P -
If all worlds and all things were possible? Pandora, the world in the movie Avatar lol (hell, it wouldn't even be a holiday, I'd be moving in XD)
Right here, right now, real world? Hmmm, that's actually pretty hard. There are places I've been that were achingly wonderful (Ischia, Italy), and then there are the places I day dream about going someday (Vietnam, India, the Maldives). You know what? In honor of winter - The Ice Hotel in Sweden. -
In my closet, but I let her out for special occasions.

Taste. It gets me into more trouble than it's worth anyway (I'm a complete food addict). I think if I had to give up any of the others it would be too heartbreaking.
-
A lot of different places. But the strongest is definitely the natural world, especially creatures. I've been a bit of an animal fanatic since I was very little - my stepdad and I used to play '20 animal questions' when I was 7, and I was pretty good at stumping him. Animals fascinate me and I find endless beauty in their various forms.
I'd say mythic stories and ideas are the other strongest influence. Sometimes it's actual myths, and sometimes it's just the really big icons that exert their power over all myths, like death, love, power, apocalypse.
Any one of those things could be something I'm thinking about, and I just decide to figure out a way to express the thought in an eye. Seems like such a small thing to pour all that thought and effort into, but then again, the eyes are the window to the soul, and honestly? Most of the eyes in SL are soulless. (that's my other inspiration ;P) -
I'd help Wikipedia meet its current goal, pay off all my school loans, buy a house, and go back to school for my Master of Fine Art.
