More questions. These will get a little more daring:
1) Owning your own business:
a) You are your own boss irl. A boast that 90% of this board, myself included, cannot make and it sounds like you're successfull. Do you feel like it's been worth it?
b) Has any of the online drama around your business ever spilled over into real life?
c) Do you talk to others on the board who own their own business?
2) All-About-You questions:
a) Ever have to stay overnight in a hospital?
b) Got any tatooes?
c) What kind of car do you drive?
d) Worst pick-up line you've ever had shot at you?
e) When you're in a pinch, you know you can always pick up the phone and count on ________ to be there to help.
1a. That's a tough one honestly... I mean, you'll never work more hours than you do when you work for yourself. Overall is it worth it? Yes, I'd say so but it's certainly not for everyone. The ability to work at home was a big factor in starting it though since I care for my grandfather here (which was why I moved back to Tucson permanently from Vegas) and, to a lesser extent, the drunk millionaire brother I mentioned before.
1b. No, I've always kept myself fairly well insulated from involving real life and 'online life'. In a notable exception, I met my boyfriend in an online game and now employ him. ROFL In a happy coincidence, he lived in Tucson as well.
1c. Hmm, other than Hyper and Arch, noone else comes to mind that owns their own business and, no, this is almost the first time I've EVER talked about my business here. Due to the nature of the board itself, it being gaming oriented, 'outing' myself was never something I went out of my way to do. Some of my old friends from the AC monarchy knew my business when I first started (deatheye, for example, who still posts here) but things have changed alot since then, not just with my business, but with the overall landscape of gaming in general. Buying virtual items for RL money used to be verboten but it's much more accepted and almost commonplace these days.
2a Yes, a few years ago I was a passenger in a drunk driving wreck and broke my arm. I was in the hospital for one day then. I'm not a sickly person though and detest going to the doctor/obgyn/emergency room/etc...
2b No tattoos nor body piercings other than for earrings.
2c I own a cherry-red 1994 Porsche 911 convertible but actually do most of my driving in my brother's 2004 Lexus LS. It's much more reliable and safe and he usually isn't in shape enough to drive anyways.
2d. Wow. ROFL that's one I'd have to think about. I don't tend to remember bad pickup lines on purpose.
