First LEGO Set: I don't know, at seven you don't remember set numbers,
and Lego (like my dollhouse) was one of those thing my
grandmother found a new home for when I "was too old for
that 'stuff'" (without my permission I might add)
Favorite Theme(s): Castle, Islanders
Favorite Set(s): Forestmen (not that I have any)
Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): hmmm...I guess the dragons and the
full saddles
Set/theme you would like to see: buildings in enormous trees like the
vallenwoods from Dragonlance and ekele
from the Velgarth books
Current LEGO Project: to acquire enough animals for my menagerie/zoo
Greatest Claim to LEGO Fame: The closest I can think of (and it's more
like infamous) is that my roommate and I made up a Lego story while I
was building #6278 Enchanted Island and he thought it was amusing
enough that he posted it here and instead of getting replies that
said "I don't like this story", he was accused of being a troll.
Other (Non-LEGO) Interests: reading (mostly fantasy), cross-stitch,
carousels, chinchillas, being a Girl Scout
leader

Kimberly Anne Marie presence if you would agree to treat gravity as
Makouski Rowan-Leigh a law, rather than one of a number of suggested
send me koosas! and Lego! options. (no junk mail!) (Barnabus to Delirium)
