This thread is going to be used to interview as many Gaia HQ workers as possible.

We want to know about their lives, their loves, their ups and their downs, and anything in between.

You can be as serious as you want, or as humorous as you want.

This is meant to be for fun, and also for everyone to get to know the workers behind the scenes.

It'll be, what we like to call, the Famous 30 questions. 3nodding

The same questions will be sent to everyone at the Gaia HQ, in the hope that we'll get everyone to participate in answering them.

This is for the Gaians, if you have any questions, you'd like to ask, please do so in this Guild.

1~What do you love most about your job?

It's a privilege to come in everyday and draw for a living. I'm grateful for the passionate users we have. =D

Quote:
2~What is the easiest and hardest things about what you do?

Drawing is simultaneously hard and easy. It's easy to make marks on a flat surface, but it's hard to perfect it because there is no answer to a lot of whys in art.

Quote:
3~Do you have time for yourself like reading, golfing or even a beer or two with some mates? Asking about your social life here.

Yeah, I'm lucky to have a life. I like watching football (soccer!), video games, and just hanging out with friends smile

Quote:
4~"Who's played the most influential part in your life?"

Hm I don't think it's any one person, I take influence and inspiration from many in my life. Right now football (soccer) really inspires me =)

Quote:
5~current love, or your Gaia crush?

FOOTBALL|SOCCER (aughh I wish everyone called it Football!!!)

Quote:
6~"What's the one thing you would do, if you were able to do it?"

Gosh, I don't know...that is such a deep question

Quote:
7~Favorite band, favorite song, and favorite movie?

I don't have a single favorite but some that I like are: Star Trek (the new movie), Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine, MUSE (their concert was phenomenal!!!!), Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Quote:
8~"Where's your favorite place in the whole world?" And why?

An extremely comfortable bed with lots of cushions/pillows. I love snuggling and rolling in bed T)T (I hope that didn't sound porny). It's especially nice when it's raining/snowing and it's cold and you're warm beneath the blankets, with no rush to get up early =)

Quote:
9~"What talent would you like to tell us about today that you'd like to share?"

Lol I don't think I'm particularly good at anything besides drawing (even then, sometimes I have self doubt about that). I'm just kind of ok.

Quote:
10~What's the bravest thing/s you've ever done?

Wow I can't think of any, maybe I am a coward!

Quote:
11~What advice do you wish someone gave you when you first started, that you'd like to give someone now?

You should not ignore your social life. Working all the time is not healthy.

Quote:
12~Describe your mornings. And your Evenings.

Wake up, wash face,dress, go to work. Evening, feed the guinea pig, dinner, exercise or drawing or hanging out. I don't have a set routine.

Quote:
13~Who do you like working with the most, and why?

I love working with Reapersun, Peppertea and Ethe, brainstorming with them is always fun and they work hard on anything, full of passion!

Quote:
14~Which person would you like to sit next to in the plane, and why?

someone who lives an interesting life, which is any one famous...can be business, sports or entertainment related.

Quote:
15~What are the biggest challenges you face and why?

I didn't realize it until years later but getting used to American culture is/was a huge hurdle.

Quote:
16~What are the most common problems you encounter around the site?

It's hard to find things. Many interesting content in the forums do not float to the top.

Quote:
17~What things worry you in life, if any?

My future, whether or not I am trying my hardest. Environmental destruction, and how it feels impossible to change the way things are going.

Quote:
18~What has been your biggest achievement to date?

Designing characters for Gaia that are loved by many

Quote:
19~What one thing do you hate seeing, whether it be on Gaia, or in reality, and why?

People who are transparently manipulative and fake getting success. Authority without reason frustrates me to no end.

Quote:
20~So how did you chose this profession?

I chose to be an engineer, but I think art chose me

Quote:
21~How do you see the future of your profession, in about 5 years time?

Maybe I'll move into something more managerial ?

Quote:
22~Do you have a good sense of humor?

I like to think so....I'm not sure what others think

Quote:
23~Would you rather be a worried genius, or a simple person?

I'd like to try both!

Quote:
24~What would you do if you got behind schedule with your part of a project?

crunch or figure out a way to optimize

Quote:
25~What was the worst project you worked on and why?

Anything that never came to fruition at the last minute because of lame reasons like politics

Quote:
26~What's your current state of mind?

Happy =)

Quote:
27~What one person would you go on a date with and why?

Lol I'm seeing someone right now! wink

Quote:
28~What's one thing that makes you laugh?

http://i.imgur.com/1Ht9O.gif never fails to make me lulz. It's like he went through 7 stages of grief in 20 seconds.

Quote:
29~Describe an average day at the office?

come in to work, check email, reply to emails, lunch, work till evening.

Thank you~!!!! Thank you for always supporting Gaia, we love you guys and we're always trying our best!
