1. What one piece of advice would you like to share with others to help them be more successful or be happier?

2. What failure in your life have you experienced that you feel is important to have lived through to help you grow?

3. What would you like to do right now that is just outside of your reach because of one thing (money, people, other resources)?

4. Aside from server/forum/site changes, what is one thing that you would like to see changed about MOTL?

5. What is something that you feel that you are better than most other people at doing?

Favorite food?

Ten favorite movies?

When did you get into Magic cards and who/how did you get involved?

Are we (America) going into a depression?

Where do you see the future of America's economy and general state heading and what could be done, in your opinion, to better it?

Peace,
Jesse

What do you find the hardest part about being a parent?

What about the most rewarding part?

Same questions as above, replacing "parent" with "mod on MOTL"

1. Go to college. An education is the most important thing to have to help your future. Don't sweat the small stuff, it won't be important later on in life.

2. I quit college. That experience has made it so that I can truthfully tell the kids that college is mega important, and what it's like to have made it as far as I did, but not finished.

3. Tons. I'd like to buy a house, so that the kids can know what it's like to grow up in one. I grew up in houses my whole life, and this apartment living is just NOT for me. It sucks. I'd like to buy a new car, or at least a used car that WORKS! I'd like to go back to college and finish my degree. I'd like to be a sign language interpreter.

4. Well... I'd love to own it.

5. Well, I read at about 600 wpm, so I'm good at that. I think I'm really good at being a pretty nice person. Too good sometimes.

1. I LOVE steak. Mmmmmmm steak.

b) The Goonies
c) Midnight Madness
d) Harry Potter (I - VII)
e) Willow
f) Deep Blue Sea
g) Jaws
h) Mortal Kombat
i) Pitch Black
j) Air Force One

3. I got into Magic at the end of '93. Friends and I played this game called Spellfire, when another friend, who hated Spellfire, started playing Magic. He got me into it. BTW, I'm dating him now.

4. Yes

5. I'm really sorry, but I am SOOOO not into politics or anything like it. So, I really have no idea.

Parent:

1. Knowing whether or not the decisions that I'm making for the kids, are the right ones.

2. Hugs. Seeing your kids succeed and knowing that you had a part in it

Modding:

1. Banning people that I've considered friends.

2. Catching rippers! No, seriously, I love being a part of the community and knowing that I'm making it a better place to post, to trade, for others. MOTL is my online family.

1. Well, I DO make a pretty slamming homemade beef gravy that everyone in my household LOVES.

2. No, but that would be really awesome!

I LOVE reading. I have five bookshelves, double (some triple) stacked with books that I've read, and reread.

I also play browser games. I'm currently playing Travian and Grepolis. I also enjoy some FB games as well.

Oh, and modding.

7) What would happen if we ever met?



1. "Some College" I went for four years to a two year college. I kept switching out my majors, and then never finished any of them.

2. Well, it's boyfriend, not husband. He's doing pretty good now that he's found a new job. He's working as a silk screener now and totally loves it! The kids are also doing very well. A bit bratty at times, as are most kids, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. Amala's having a bit of trouble dealing with a situation that's cropped up with her mom, but I'm confident she will get through it fine.

3. ^^ up there!

4. Well. I'm a homemaker. A parent. I don't currently have a paying job, but I've been looking. And yes, I enjoy parenting very much

5. Yes, very. But, it's a part of the job. It's also difficult to NOT ban people I don't much care for!

6. Because I have no life. I also have sleep apnea, which makes it difficult to stay asleep.

7. I'd jump you. hee hee. No, really, I think we'd have a good time chatting and stuff.

Bruce the shark, from Finding Nemo for me. I'm a total shark freak.

For my boyfriend, it's Genie from Aladdin, because, well, it's Robin Williams, do you need another excuse?


Thanks,
Jazaray

So, tell me more about this shark obsession of yours.

1) What kinds of shark things do you have?

2) Would you ever touch a live shark?

3) OK, so how about swim with one?

4) How many shark MtG cards do you have?

5) What are your favorite movies about sharks?

1. Stuffed animal sharks. A wooden plank with a shark burned into it (A friend had it made for me). A shark tie. TONS of shark toys. A large shark sculpture. A dead baby shark in a jar. Shark jacks. Shark knick knacks. An electronic Bruce the Shark(It was a SS present). A shark shot glass and frame (also SS presents). Drawings. Books.

2. Uhm, HELL YEAH! I wish!!!

3. OH boy would I EVER!!!! I would LOVE to go swimming with some Great Whites!!

4. I wish I had more. Probably about 20 right now.

5. Deep Blue Sea is my all time favorite movie about sharks. Jaws is a close second.

Thanks,
Jazaray

I know you've had some trouble financially a while ago, and I wanted to know if things are getting better for you and your family?

Do you think tough time like that makes yourself and your family stronger?

I am pretty sure things could always be better, but are you happy about your current situation?

How much money is enough?

As we have discussed before, I am obligated to ask you this final question. Why are you so stupid?

1. Well, our situation is a bit better, now that Tom finally has a job. But, it's not THAT much better.

2. I'd like to say yes, but I don't think I can. The kids didn't understand why we couldn't afford some of the things that they wanted. So there were a lot of arguments and complaints about stuff they wanted. And it made Tom feel soooo soooo awful.

3. No, I'm not really happy with how we are right now. I HATE where we live, we've been robbed several times, and a lot of the people who live in our building are just awful.

4. I'm not sure there is such a thing. I'd like to be able to live comfortably. Not rich, mind you, but stable would be really nice.

5. I'm not sure I'm intelligent enough to answer that question.


Thanks,
Jazaray

Is being a moderator on a magic forum your greatest accomplishment?

How does it feel to be unable to provide your family a comfortable lifestyle?

Do you have to take large doses of anti-depressants or are you content with your amaaaazing life?

1. Nope, my greatest accomplishments are my step-kids.

2. It feels pretty awful, actually.

3. Nope, I'm not depressed, and I don't take any medication.

Now, I have some questions for you. What's it like to be a total douchebag? Does attempting to put people down make you feel like a biiig man? How come you suck so bad at grading cards?

Thanks,
Jazaray

Wow. That's a great question.

I think that MOTL is a great community. The members (most of them) are really great. And we care about each other, and it shows. I've been here about 9 years now, a mod for over 7 of those years and I've seen some of our members (or their kids) grow up over the years. It's a real rush. I've known some of you guys longer than some of my IRL friends, and I love you guys just as much


Thanks,
Jazaray

How much is a tankard of gravy worth in NM condition? What about EX+? How much would it cost to ship it to Iqaluit?
Sharks or gravy?
Would the aladdin genie be cooler if he was brown and made of gravy?
Would finding nemo be better if they were in a giant sea of gravy?

1. Well, I'm not a gravy expert or anything. You'd have to ask on GOTL. Also, try using usps.com to figure out shipping costs.

2. Sorry man. Sharks, all the way.

3. Well, I guess that depends on if it was still Robin Williams or not. If not, no way. If so.. I can see that happening.

4. Hrm.. interesting question. I'd have to see that version, to be sure.

Thanks,
Jazaray

-1 karma...rats...I'm not a mod...

Anyways...

Not sure if this has been asked or not so:

The one single magic card you own the most? (I think I have like 16 Magus of the Bazaar)

Draft or Constructed? (or both lol)

Pepsi or Coke or other?

How often do you play the game of Magic the gathering?

Do you see yourself as a mod for Motl for the next 10 years? 15 years?

Your favorite MTG format?

1. Well, I'd have to say Giant Shark, but I don't have all that many of them. I mean, I have tons of commons and stuff, but I'm not gonna go count them.

2. I have to say that I really like drafting. I'm alright with playing constructed, but I prefer to draft.

3. Other. Crystal Light.

4. I play at least once a week. We have friends that come over on a weekly (at least) basis so we can play EDH.

5. I'll be a mod here, as long as Leshrac lets me.

6. Well. Limited. I like to draft. Other than that, I'm a fan of vintage.

Thanks,
Jazaray
