Who the heck are you?
A human being. Next!

Really. I would never have guessed.
*peers concernedly* Are you sure you don't need glasses?

Never mind. I'll repeat my question: who are you?
A hu-- oh, now I see what you mean. My name's Yasmin M., and I'm here to rescue you!

That was from "Star Wars".
Oh yeah. Sorry. *aside* Mr Lucas, please don't sue. I'll insert a lengthy disclaimer as soon as I get a law degree.

So, Miss Mad Botanist, what does the "M" stand for?
That's Ms., not Miss. I could tell you about the "M", but then I'll have to kill you.

Corny.
I know, I know. It's bloody late at night and I'm sleepy.

How about telling us a bit about yourself?
I'm older than dust, but younger than dirt. I like reading books and comics, writing, the Internet, sci-fi and fantasy (Discworld reigns supreme!), cynicism, cats, Sluggy Freelance, and fanfic. The world isn't always a dreary place. Things that I detest are too many to be listed here. I'm currently a college student, learning to bullshit my way through life.

Have I seen you somewhere on the Net?
Maybe, if you're subscribed to the 88th Firebirds and OutsideTheLines mailing lists. I can also be found posting in CFAN's Subreality Cafe round robin board, and occasionally the message board.

What are your views on boy bands?
Of all the questions you could have asked, you're asking me this? *sigh* Fine, whatever. I think that boy bands should be shot into a black hole as a matter of principles. And if there's any justice in the world, that should be the end of the story.

What about chain mails?
They're obnoxious, especially those virus warnings and "isn't this key-ute?!" ASCII art. There are some pretty nice ASCII art around, but why can't someone open a website on them and spare me the clogged mailbox? The mushy poems are pretty dumb too. The original sender almost always ask you to pass it around, or you'll never meet your true love. Yeah, RIGHT. What will the chain letter do? Travel back in time and kill the parents of your destined partner so he/she will never be born?

Briefs or boxers?
Ha-ha. Punch to the groin or boot to the head?

Someone's grouchy today...
Someone's about to experience deep hurting...

Death threats aside, what's with the mad botanist thingy?
It's a long story.

Won't you tell me?
No.

Not even if I say "please"?
Nope. Like I said, it's a long story.

O-kaaaay...
*beams* I knew you'll see it my way.

Uh, right. If you're a "botanist", why does the picture show something blowing up?
I once accidentally set fire to my biology experiment. Blew up my chemistry experiment once, too. And no, I don't want to talk about it.
