{Not Applicable}

ROOK: Q. 1. Tell us briefly about yourself. (Share a picture(s) of yourself if you wish.)

{Not Applicable}: A. 1. The most recent picture I could find of my self (Not the best though and I look a bit strange :/), Taken on a recent camping trip. Also I'm in high school and I'm from Texas.

I'm a total geek but I do love other "non-geeky" things, I enjoy to swim competitively, play basketball, run, camp, hike, draw and I also do some photography. I'm a semi-avid Xbox gamer and a die hard Lego fan (Obviously ). I've been around in the Lego community for about 2 years on Flickr but I lingered around MOCpages for a while before that.

Not much else to say...

ROOK: Q. 2. What was your first set (include image)? How did this influence your love of Lego?

{Not Applicable}: A. 2. My first complete Lego set (I had gotten some individual bricks from my cousin before) ever was the 2847 UFO Flyer if I remember correctly.

This started my love for getting Lego sets and assembling them, I didn't receive many more sets until a few years later as my Mom kept me playing with Duplo in fear that I would swallow the small bricks, Despite this my love for building thrived.

ROOK: Q. 3. What do you like about the Lego online community? What do you dislike?

{Not Applicable}: A. 3. I enjoy being able to take part in the sharing of my MOCs and being able to view and converse about what others build and a general love for Lego, I have made some great friends in my time taking part in the online community. I dislike the amount of trolls in the Lego community across Flickr but I also dislike the way some people try to get rid of them by starting flame wars.

Other than that I find little to dislike about the online community.

ROOK: Actually that was pretty much what I wanted to hear. It bugs me too, thus the question without asking, "What do you think about ____. "

ROOK: Q. 4. What is your favorite MOC? Why?

{Not Applicable}: A. 4. My favorite MOC that I have built would probably be the CUBECO Searcher Drone, Though I do enjoy a couple other builds I have done in the past.

ROOK: Q. 5. Who is your favorite Builder(s)? Give us a sample image of one of their MOCs.

{Not Applicable}: A. 5. This list is quite long for me though I do enjoy builders such as Lord Dane, Spook, Lemon_Boy, peterlmorris, Various other Space builders, Fellow Council Member Justin Pyne, Wimbe and more that I did not mention.

ROOK: Q. 6. What is your preferred Theme? What is your least favorite set in that theme?

{Not Applicable}: A. 6. My favorite theme to build would either have to be Sci-Fi or Castle. I really do not have a favorite set but I do enjoy some of the UCS Star Wars set (Even though I have never owned one before)

ROOK: Ah, I asked about LEAST favorite set but that's ok.

ROOK: Q. 7. What do see for your self in future as far as up coming projects?

{Not Applicable}: A. 7. I've been working on MOCs for the annual MOCathalon over at MOCpages as well as beginning on some of my MOCs for various Lego conventions this summer.

ROOK: Yeah I'll have to make sure that next year I'm ready to get in on at that myself.

ROOK: Q. 8. Tell us about something that wasn’t asked above.

{Not Applicable}: A. 8. My favorite animal is a Red Panda...

ROOK: Odd, but interesting.

{Not Applicable}: That's All, I'll try to find a better photo of me and post it.

Cheers!
