Hanhepi: What do you do for a living?
Sunrose: I study college law. Right now I am doing a trainee 40 hours a week for 6 months, without going to school. It ends in January.

Hanhepi: When did you start doing that?
Sunrose: College law? I am now a third year student. So that would be September 2002.

Hanhepi: Do you enjoy it?
Sunrose: Yes. Law has many interesting subjects and works very logically. Once you know how to read law books, of course you do need background-inf ormation, then it's not so hard to figure things out. You can run into law with almost everything you do and so it influences your way of living a lot. Rules of living have often, as far as that could be done, been translated into laws. In that sense law includes a lot of other subjects too like psychology, which is one of my greater passions, even more so than law. But I couldn't do psychology right away, and I wasn't sure at that time if I would. But psychology always stays in the back of my mind, so I think I have no choice.

Hanhepi: Do you have any vices?
Sunrose: Uhm... bad habits... we get a lot of self-tests at school. If I have to pick from a list it's easy...then I think: “oh yea that one and that one and that one”, but just at the top of my head uhm I almost don't drink, I definitely don't smoke. I often pick strange people to hang out with in general.. I spend too much time on a computer? I think no one will argue with that!

Hanhepi: Do you have any pets?
Sunrose: We have 2 cats. I have guppies, 5 or so, and uhm...fleas probably.

Hanhepi: Whom do you most admire?
Sunrose: *thinks* I don't really know....I don't admire people that fast I guess...I often had no constant role models in my life so I think I grew accustomed to not having one. Because after all one you admire is often how you would like to be like yourself..the parts you admire anyway.
Maybe there are some people who have bits I admire...My youngest sister (28) for being very forgiving with people, big hearted. One you like to be around with. Hmm my best friend's mother for being a very loving person. Then another friend of mine, who always knows the right things to say. I guess I generally admire people who have big hearts who are not afraid to give their love to others.

Hanhepi: What do you consider most important in your life at this point?
Sunrose: Hmm.. building a future for myself where I can be happy I guess.

Hanhepi: If you could meet any person(past or present) who would you most like to meet?
Sunrose: Who would I like to meet? I think I would go for some of my relatives then. One of my aunts I have seen 2 months ago for the first time, she seems a very cool chick.

Hanhepi: Why them?
Sunrose: Because I don't know them, and for some odd reason I value family bonds. And since I have seen this aunt I think she could be someone I could admire...

Hanhepi: What would you want to talk about with her?
Sunrose: Uhm I guess about family things. There are lots of things she can tell me about our family that I don't know of. But also just to learn what kind of person she is, she seems someone I wouldn't mind having as an aunt.

Hanhepi: If you could live during any time period, which would you choose?
Sunrose: I can see the romance in past times, but I doubt it if they would all be so pleasant to live in. And since all I know is this time, I think I will go with the present time.

Hanhepi: How did you come up with your Elftown screen name?
Sunrose: It's from a poem, which is in my diary. When I was 16, I went to this English site, which revolved around learning English or at least teaching English. I went to this chatroom and started talking with an Australian guy. We then started e-mailing and one day he sent me a poem named Sunrose. I don't know if he wrote it for me especially, but I know he sent it to me especially...a nd I thought it was an awesome name and also a very good poem. We would write each other with poetic names like that so it suited the atmosphere. He was a very good writer and someone who appealed to me in the way he wrote. Well of course calling him a good writer basically means the same, but it's a different way of putting it.

Hanhepi: What did you eat for breakfast yesterday?
Sunrose: Eeerrmm... I often skip breakfast. I think it was a cookie or something.

Sunrose: You know what you had?
Hanhepi: I had coffee. same thing I have every day. Lol. Wait, I generally count lunch as breakfast, so yesterday it was a turkey sandwich at 4pm. Lol

Hanhepi: If they made a movie based on your life, what would the title be?
Sunrose: Hard question. Still thinking. A movie based on my life...someone said 'The Unbelievable Story'. Mwahaha. It may be true, but it's such a common title that it becomes a bit lame. ; )

Hanhepi: Whom would you want to star as you?
Sunrose: I like uhm Jodie Foster she's good. Hey! Don't look at me, it's what came to me! :P

Hanhepi: If you could have a single superpower, which would you pick?
Sunrose: Some psychic power. Something with the mind anyway.
Hanhepi: Now, like Superman has his kriptonite issues, what would be the weakness that countered the power?
Sunrose: Hmm. These are hard questions! I think my weakness would be found in my strength like it normally is with most things. A strength being a weakness at the same time.

Hanhepi: When and how did you find Elftown?
Sunrose: I got to Elftown in March this year through [ Almerin ]

Hanhepi: Do you think you act the same in real life as you do online?
Sunrose: Hmm I think so. Though, I get along much better with all sorts of people online...

Hanhepi: What sort of wikis and forums do you like to participate in?
Sunrose: There are some private forums that are very much fun. Wikis...well I am involved in a lot of wikis.

Hanhepi: If you could say one thing to everyone on Elftown, what would it be?
Sunrose: OMG! Uhm... just that, I don't know.

Hanhepi: If you were a predatory animal, which would you be?
Sunrose: A hawk. It's actually my Indian horoscope I've read. But before that some birds of prey always interested me. I even collected stamps of birds of prey I liked. Well not really a collection, but I had a few...anyway, why... well as what the horoscope says they have a very good eye-sight. Where the psychology part comes back. I have a good eye for details. Not always (I am human ), but often. Maybe different thing than most people would notice and well, I just like the streamlinednes s and the eyes of the animal. The colors they are edgy, sharp. It's fascinating.

Hanhepi: What kind of vegetable would you say best describes your personality?
Sunrose: Haha! Darn. I am looking at a list now, because I don't know what to pick at the top of my head! ;) I'll go with mushroom or iceberg lettuce or rhubarb: They are about the only ones I really like, I believe, and don't they say: “You are what you eat.” ? :P

Hanhepi: What is the average amount of time you spend on Elftown daily?
Sunrose: Omg! That's classified information!

Hanhepi: What really annoys the hell out of you?
Sunrose: People who don't listen/read very well. Ergo, keep asking the same questions or questions already answered or making conclusions you already proved can't be right.

Hanhepi: Finally, If you could say one thing to everyone on Elftown, what would it be?
Sunrose: OMG! I thought this question was already asked. Hehehe. Uhm I don't know what to say. 'Live long and prosper'. Or something. :P
