[LG]: How did you come to be involved in the wonderful world of online gaming?

[jess]: My dad got me into it when I was younger.

[LG]: What do your family and friends think of your very time consuming gaming hobby?

[jess]: They think I'm crazy.

[LG]: How did you get started with the OGL, and which games do you work with currently?

[jess]: I first heard of OGL when I started competing online. Went from there.

[LG]: Based on your OGL experiences, which game's community makes you think "*phew* glad I don't work on that ladder", and why do you think they're rowdier than other communities you're familiar with?

[jess]: Counter Strike because they are much more competitive than other ladders.

[LG]: Are you currently competing in any ladders or tournaments yourself? If so, what's your record like, and do you think your opponents take you less seriously because you're female?

[jess]: I am still working on getting my clan onto OGL. Right now we're on PG. We're doing well on the ladder. People assume that because I play UT I must be a guy, but then when I tell them I'm a female they can't believe a girl is actually an online gamer. It doesn't usually affect game play which I like.

[LG]: What game(s) are you most looking forward to the release of?

[jess]: Too many to list

[LG]: Are you currently romantically attached? If so, are you with a fellow gamer? If not, would you rather date a gamer or non-gamer, and why?

[jess]: I am attached. He is a gamer.
