[Digital Chix]: How did you get involved with computers?
[Siren]: I started with computers seriously when I went to work for a credit card company as an automations programmer. I was actually a dancer when I was ounger and I didn't really look at a computer till I was about 16 or so.

[Digital Chix]: How did you get on the web?
[Siren]: That happened when I came to school at UMD. Every room had 2 ehternet jacks so I thought, I've got a computer, why not get connected.

[Digital Chix]:How did you get into Gaming?
[Siren]: I was dating this guy in Maryland and he said, check out this game. I didn't really like it at first, but I realized that in order to spend more time with him, I needed to play, so that's how I got into Quake.

[Digital Chix]: What do you spend most of your online time doing?
[Siren]: It's split between web browsing to e-mail to IRC'ing (mostly IRC'ng though). I'm an EFNet groupie!

[Digital Chix]: How did the PicPage come about?
[Siren]: A friend of mine, Saber, and I got into an argument over who could collect more pics of people online. People heard about our competition and wanted to see what pics we got and the Pic Page was born.

[Digital Chix]: What about the Sexiest Player Contest?
[Siren]: It was actually a suggestion of PMS-Leiah who runs the Quake Women's Forum. We were talking about ways to collect more pics.

[Digital Chix]: It sounds like you pretty much know everyone out there. Did you meet a lot of people thru the page or more thru IRC and stuff?
[Siren]: I've made a lot of friends. It's a bit mixed. A ton of people I've met thru the pic page but a lot of people I consider my closer friends, I've talked to on-line on the IRC or met at LAN parties.

[Digital Chix]: SO now for your new project...what's it all about?
[Siren]: It's called "Burn Productions" and its still in the planning stages but basically I'm starting an East Coast Caravan which is aimed at getting me and a ton of my east coast on-line buddies to LAN parties around the country. Its first destination that we have planned is DM-Con in July, in Iowa, a 16 hour trip!

[Digital Chix]: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
[Siren]: Ahahahah! I'll probably be working for the credit card company I work for now doing programming stuff. They've offered me a nice position when I graduate so that's definitely an option. But I'm still looking at other stuff (with the start of Burn Production, I'm starting to explore that stuff).

[Digital Chix]: Where do you see the future with the net?
[Siren]: I usually see it as a place where EVERYONE is connected. I think the bext generation is very well the "net generation".

[Digital Chix]: What do you think of this site?
[Siren]: I like the way your site builds off the support of another female site. I really like the site. I really like some of the graphics on there. Sounds like some cool stuff is going on.

[Digital Chix]: What's your biggest pet peeve?
[Siren]: Um, tose e-mails that say, "I can't get Quake to work on the internet. Help me". I never know what to say so I send them to Stomped's QnA section :)

[Digital Chix]: How would you spend a million dollars?
[Siren]: hehe. Pay off my tuition bills first, then take a short vacation, and buy myself some new clothes...Then start thinking about a nice condo and a new car :)

[Digital Chix]: What are your favorite sports?
[Siren]: I used to run track and really love to run. Its a big stress reliever. I also like messing around on the basketball court.

[Digital Chix]: How do you feel about Seinfeld going off the air?
[Siren]: I never was much of a Seinfeld fan. I only watched it because it was on betwen Friends and Veronica's Closet.

[Digital Chix]: If you could be a superhero, who would it be?
[Siren]: Definitely Wonder Woman. I had her underroo's when I was little :)

[Digital Chix]: Do you have an extensive teddy bear or doll collection?
[Siren]: Yes :) I love stuffed animals. I think its so cute when a significant other buys me a stuffed teddy bear or rabbit or something.

[Digital Chix]: If you could pick one place to live for the rest of your life, where would it be, and why?
[Siren]: Orlando Florida. It's sunny, warm, and really close to Disneyland.

[Digital Chix]: Do you ever wear nail polish?
[Siren]: YES! I love nail polish. I just haven't had time to wear it much lately. <editor's note: and she even has nice nails to boot..../me is jealous>

[Digital Chix]: What was the last book you read?
[Siren]: I'm in the middle of Violin by Anne Rice, but I have read all her books.

[Digital Chix]: Closing Statement:
[Siren]: "We are everyday angels" -Jewel... I'm not that interesting so I always use that as my last thing :)

[Digital Chix]: Editor's note: Siren is actually very interesting, and a very kind person. No wonder she makes friends with everyone she meets :) A super cool person IMHO!
