Jerremy Darwin: So, Honey, what is your name, and what is this interview for? ;-)
Me: So, OK. Mister Darwin is it? My name is Tym and I am interviewing people for my blog. I want to find out more about the men behind the goatees of SL.
JD: Oh hey, that's right…you are that Girl Wonder chick!
Me: Yup! That's me!
JD: I think we might have an office in the same building. ;-) And, if I am not mistaken, we even live in the same sim. Wow! What a small world! ;-)
Me: [rolls eyes] Yes, in fact, we shared a shower this morning.
JD: mmmmmmm…Yes, I remember!
Me: [clears throat] So, Mr. Darwin, do you have goatee in RL, too?
JD: Yes, although the RL one has some red in it.
Me: I see...nice.
JD: Can I get you something to drink?
Me: Ummm…no, thank you. So, what kind of clothing and styles do you prefer seeing your SLignificant other wear? Not counting lingerie or nudity.
JD: Anything..she is a freaking model you know. Oh yeah, you would know! ;-) Hmm, a sexy short black dress for an elegant night on the town. The kind that would make me want to lure her into the coat closet in order to have some hawt SLex.
Me: OK...so then, you are heterosexual?
JD: Yes...very...and, I have found my true love. ;-)
Me: How sweet! So what kind of hairstyles do you like her to wear?
JD: Just thinking of her brings a smile to my face.
Me: Awwwww!!!! So, hair-wise…
JD: I like it up for a night out, but down for a night in and a pony tail for camping. :-) I like long hair so that is the important thing. Is it possible to find a woman who has like 20 hair styles for various situations??
Me: Wow - you like variety!
JD: Yes I do! And a woman who can keep up and is always prepared! Hey - maybe an ex-Girl Scout! :-)
Me: Mr. Darwin, please share some advice with my readers: What is the best way for the men of SL to meet SLignificant others?
JD: Very good question! Well, public sex places and stalking have worked for me so far. But, hmmmm, maybe there are other ways. [pauses to think] I would recommend going to places related to an interest you have. For example: builders – hang out at Primtionary; dancers – go to clubs or ball rooms; landscapers – go to the various stores for that; BDSM sex fiends – well, I am not sure there are any places like that in SL. ;-) The key is to be nice and to be yourself. Sometimes when you don’t try to fall in love…it happens. (That advice of course doesn’t apply to the BDSM aficionado. In that case, be the sternest, baddest, hardest driving DOM you can be and you will go far.)
Me: Ummm...wow....ok..... If you could go back and give your newly born self one piece of information or advice what would it be?
JD: Don't eat those brownies at that party in the Alpha Omega sim....Oh, wait, no. Make friends and do what you can to keep them. A lot of things can be fun and entertaining in this world. But finding true friends is priceless. :-)
Me: What is the funniest/oddest/most embarrassing place you have ever rezzed into/logged on in?
JD: I used to look at the map and TP into places with a lot of green dots. Well, I found plenty of casinos and public sex places that way. One time, I logged in nude while my significant other was giving a tour of my house.
Me: Quite a SLife you have led, Mr. Darwin. [shakes head] What is an item of clothing/accessory/household item you wish you had in SL but don't?
JD: My antique bottle collection. They have many amazing colors to them. I love history and antiques in RL. Maybe I will open my own antique shop in SL someday.
Me: Very nice idea!! Very high tech, brand new antiques! Now, Mr. Darwin, in your SL home - what is the most prim-wasteful thing that you own?
JD: I would say the bathtub – which weighs in at 26 prims. But, oh, they do not go to waste, I assure you. And when one lives in SLin, ah…one needs to try to be as clean as possible. ;-)
Me: [stares]
JD: I thought of another question that you can ask your interview subjects! Do you build? What is your favorite thing that you have built? :-)
Me: [sigh] Do you build? What was your favorite build?
JD: Well, I recently made something, but it is still a secret. I am quite proud of it. But, in lieu of that, I guess I will have to say that my favorite build was my 40m tall snowman house. It was a real chick magnet, let me tell you.
Me: I am certain. So, Mr. Darwin, if your favorite movie got made into a sim what would be your favorite area/feature?
JD: Well, I like too many movies. Many obvious ones would be good: Start Wars, Titanic, Time Bandits, etc. But, for this answer I will have to say A.I. with its funky futuristic cities where mecha hang out.
Me: Mecha...?
JD: The Artificially Intelligent robots. You have seen the movie haven't you?
Me: I don’t get out much.
JD: Oh no....hmm....Maybe some nice man will show it to you sometime. I saw it as a modern Wizard of Oz-type story...
Me: Very deep.
JD: Fun and exciting, too. Dark and edgy, as well.
Me: Dark and edgy - like goatees! Mr. Darwin, do you read SL blogs? Which are your favorites?
JD: Sorry? What is a blog??
Me: [stares]
JD: Hee hee…of course, the Girl Wonder blog !! [wink] And, I have always liked Mermaid Diaries. I also like to just randomly read blogs by linking to comments on your blog. :-)
Me: What has been the most surprising thing about SLife?
JD: Easy.... Falling head over heels in SLove with Tymmerie Thorne :-)
Me: Oh, Babe!!!! I love you!!!
JD: I love you!!!
So, dear readers, I hope that you have learned a lot about the Man Behind the Goatee and that you will have a speedy recovery from an overabundance of smiley face emoticons (I promise to have a talk with him about that.) and sickeningly sweet love talk. I will bring you the next interview in my riveting Man Behind the Goatee series soon!!!
I love and hate you both for being so adorable. LOL And I didn't even notice the smiley faces since I use them constantly. What a great interview!
ReplyDeleteGreat interview Tymmerie and Jeremy. Very interesting and fun to read!
ReplyDeleteAlicia and Dyami - Thank you so much!! Jerremy was such a good interview subject! He insisted that we do it very officially. He made us go to the office and he made me ask each question and I had no idea what he would say for each answer. What is there is largely unedited. And that is also why the number of emoticons caught me by surprise! LOL! Wish me luck that all of the Man Behind the Goatee interviews go so well!
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank you for letting me be the first non-prim bear, goatee styled facial hair wearing, shirtless male avatar in Second Life to be interviewed by you! That means a lot to me :-) Opps, I hear I may use those emoticons too much ;-) Great, there I go again.... Oh, there is one thing you may want to do with your interviewees. Ask them if they have any questions for you. While there are dozens of questions and things I would love to talk to you about, there is only one question right now that I would like to ask....
ReplyDeleteTymmerie Thorne will you marry me?
Now I know you area busy woman. Let me know your answer when you get a chance. Maybe you could do a poll if you have any trouble making up your mind. Just know that I will eagerly await your answer :-). Oh and to the readers who may have stumbled across this comment. I just want to apologise for adding yet another sappy, love filled, romantic comment to our Girl Wonder's blog.... I try to stop myself, I really do ;-) But hey, how else is one suppose to ask a blogger to share the rest of their lives with you beside a blog comment?
Oh, and honey, depending on your answer, I will let you see that secret object I made recently....
I love you Tym, xxx
