• Where does your SG name come from? Is it that noise Ryu makes in street fighter?!

My SG name has been my 'internet handle' for years. It stems from my friend Sophie calling me Russkin, which then some how over the years turned into RoOkin. Ryu says "Hadoken!" which does sound like a bit like RoOkin if you say "Ha RoOkin!". For all u know thats how the Russ became a Roo.
My nickname at work is Rascal.


• Tell us about how you came across SG?

The story of how I came across SG is actually a very long story of woe. It was back in 2003 after a very bad break up where i felt like I had lost everything. My girlfriend had moved out and left me for a very close friend, which meant I could no longer afford the flat we shared. I had lost nearly all of my friends as I didn't want to be around my ex and my ex friend as all shared the same social circle. I felt like no one wanted me around and no one wanted to listen. I felt like killing myself and tried to do so, after a failed attempt. I turned to the Internet and typed 'suicide' into google. One of the sites that i found was 'suicide girls'? this must be a forum for girls with depression? I shall see what they have to say.... Nope not a forum for girls with depression. I had always stayed away from websites with boobs in the past, but now I was single I didn't see the harm in joining. So that is the story of how I came across SG.
I will leave the story of why I had to leave SG in 2004 and why rejoined again in 2007 I shall leave for another time.


• What's your party trick?

The only party tick I really have is that I can do an impression of baby animal from Muppet Babies. However over the years my voice has changed (funny that) so its not as good as it used to be, plus no one really remembers that cartoon anymore. Let alone what animal sounded like.


• What is your first memory?

My first memory was being in a cot in a farm house my family was staying at in Devon or Cornwall. The reason I remember is because i'm sure I must have just changed to sleeping in a bed back home and felt hard done by.


• Do you always wear a Superman shirt under your regular shirt?

Always. I have be prepared just in case i need to save the world, or get a cat out of a tree. Actually no. In fact I think i've only wore that t-shirt 3 or 4 times.


• Are you Superman?

Yes... Well I'm actually more Clark Kent. A friend of mine was having a 'Heroes and Villans' fancy dress party. I had lots of Ideas of who to go as but the problem with fancy dress is that I have to wear my glasses. So I thought I would make the glasses part of my costume and be Clark Kent, turning into Superman.


• How do you get your hair to do that little twirl thing in your profile pic? Give us some tips!

For the superman curl you need lots of 'wet look' gel. Lots and lots of 'wet look' gel. Then I took a little strand out and curled it round a pen... Ta da!!!

I don't mind people asking me questions so if you have anymore you can just message me.
