Q. What's your real name?

A. Jenn Sullivan, and I'm 23 years old. But you can call me Jenn. Or Mergath. Or just Mer.

Q. Mergath?

A. Pernese dragon name. :)

Q. Oh, you read Anne McCaffrey? What else do you read?

A. Some of my favorite authors include (in no specific order) Mercedes Lackey, Patricia C. Wrede, Orson Scott Card, Charlotte Bronte, J. K. Rowling, William Shakespeare, Haruki Murakami, Patricia A. McKillip, Cornelia Funke, Tamora Pierce, Jeanne Duprau, Audrey Niffenegger, C. S. Lewis, and Gregory Maguire. The list goes on, but I won't bore you with any more. And I'm not going to get started on specific books- we'll both be sitting here all day.

Q. What do you do when you're not reading?

A. Go to school, mostly. As it says on my UL, I'm a senior at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, majoring in English. Majoring in English involves lots (and lots and lots) of reading, and that takes time. I also write, and I've had a few short stories published in random places. I spend a lot of time playing on the computer, and hanging out with my boyfriend, two cats, and two rats. I also watch a lot of anime, some of my favorites being Naruto and Samurai Deeper Kyo. I was involved with martial arts, but the further I get in school, the less time I have. I'm pretty sure that when I get to grad school, I'll actually have to choose between sleep and eating.

Q. You're sort of nerdy, huh?

A. You said it, not me. But just between the two of us, yeah, a little.

Q. Can you help me with _________?

A. Maybe. If I'm open for neomails- check my UL- send me one and find out. But if it involves me giving you large amounts of np, and we've never actually spoken before, save us both some time and don't bother.

Q. You're mean! I'm reporting you! That's my faerie cybunny/darigan jetsam/faerie poogle, and you stole him from me in some unspecified, illogical manner!

A.*sigh* I've had these pets for years. Literally. So if you decide to try and report me for whatever the urge strikes you to report me for, don't bother. It's not going to work. If you like my pets so much, save up for the lab ray and get your own.

Q. Fine. Sorry. Anyway, can you lend me a Faerie Queen Doll/Zafara Double Agent Plushie/other expensive item for the avatar?

A. Probably not, since I don't own any of these items myself. I borrow for full collateral when I need an avatar. If you save up, you can probably do the same.

Q. If you're 23, why are you still playing Neopets? Neopets is for kids.

A. Actually, Neopets was first created for college students who couldn't have pets in their dorm rooms, but wanted one to take care of. I've been around for over five years, and I'm certainly not going to abandon my account because some eleven year old thinks I should.

Q. You're cranky.

A. Not really. I'm just sick of people trying to steal my stuff or insulting me because they're immature.

Q. Can you look at this story/poem/etc. and tell me what you think of it?

A. Sure. Just neomail it to me, and I'll send you a critique as soon as I can get to it. Be patient, though. I have a lot to do, and it might take more than a week for me to have time to read it.

Q. How do I get back to your user lookup? That picture of Kakashi was pretty cool.

A. Right here.
