[LadyGamers]:  How did you get involved with computers? Describe the first computer you owned and bought specifically to play PC games.

[Kitty-Kat]: I got involved in computers when I was a wee little tike. I used to play Oregon Trail on the old macs at school but then at home
my mom got me one of those great little VGA systems - the ones with the yellow and black screens. I used to tear it up on some Roger Rabbit and Fun House. I have always played video games - my brother and I used to fight over the computer. I got into my first FPS from my younger brother playing Hexen and Hexen II.        

[LadyGamers]:  Tell us a little about your clan BadGirls. Have you been in the clan long? What game did you play when you were recruited. Are you the only clan member planning to attend Quakecon this year?

[Kitty-Kat]:   Yah, I am the only member attending QCon, unfortunately.
I have been in Badgirls, which is a RA3 clan, a little over a year now.
I have gone form being a member to leader of the U.S. RA3 and now back to a member. I love those girls - they are great to play with & to goof on the mic with on Ventrillo. It's all laughs and giggles and good times!

[LadyGamers]:  How much time have you spent a day since you registered for Miss Quakecon tournament? Do you have a practice buddy or do you play with most of your clan mates for extra practice?

[Kitty-Kat]:  Ha Ha Ha... Well I have been practicing long hours since I
heard about Ms. Qcon. I had not planned on participating in a tourney this year, but then I heard about Ms. Qcon and had to get in. Soo I told my friends and many of them hopped on the ball and put me on a strict dm1v1 training mission (since I used to only do ra3. *I hate finding my weapons*).

I have lots of practice buddies: ck-wildkard, Chr1s(aka.Redbeard), Radarluv, all the guys at the LARC every thursday night (zach, chuck, derek), my clanmates (pibb,seppuku), neo519, WD|DSM, WD|HacknCOde, Scyrage, Girtz, Pac|Man...all of these guys and the many more on the servers have helped me through the learning process of dueling!!

[LadyGamers]:  Since you happen to live near where Quakecon is being held, have you had a lot of people asking if they can stay with you or have a ride from you? Are many of them asking what's in the area to do besides Quakecon? Are you known as the hospitality busy bee -or- get out of here you buggy fly lady?

[Kitty-Kat]:  Ooh man, I have a small abode which consists of my bed and a futon...and those are filled, but I still have a bit of floor room!!! My doors are open. This is a once in a lifetime event for some people. I want them to be able to enjoy it to the fullest!!

[LadyGamers]:  If you could pick one place to live for the rest of your life, where would it be, and why?

[Kitty-Kat]:  Ooh man...there are soo many great places. Anywhere but Texas. I'd have to say either Toronto or Italy - Toronto is just an all round awesome clean wonderplace and has a sick happyhardcore scene, but Italy has beautiful people, wonderful wine, great food, awesome shoes...and Gigi D'Agostino! Soo there is a tiny toss up, but honestly anywhere on the northeast coast or in Europe! :)
