Player Spotlight – TranceInside

First name: Laurie

Screen name: TranceInside

Tell us a little bit about yourself : I am a 42 year old mother of a recently turned 21 year old daughter, I feel so old. She is and will always be my rock. No matter how old she is, she will ALWAYS be my little girl. I am dating a man whom I had met on a dating site of all places and I can say, without hesitation, that he is my soulmate. I collect Red Sox memorabilia, I even have a Red Sox bathroom! Another hobby of mine is web design. That is something I have been doing for the better part of 14 years. This is me in a nutshell.

State, Province or Country?  Midcoast Maine

Astrological sign? Gemini

What do you usually play on Pogo.com?  That all depends on what I feel like trying to rank up in.

What did you have for breakfast this morning? French toast bagel with cream cheese and hazelnut coffee.

Do you have a life philosophy? Andy Warhol said it best – “Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, ‘So what.’ ‘My mother didn’t love me,’ So what. (Next line omitted because of content). ‘I’m a success but I’m still alone.’ So what. I don’t know how I made it through all the years before I learned how to do that trick. It took a long time for me to learn it, but once you do, you never forget.”

What is your favorite Pogo.com game? I have a few actually. Word Search Daily, Monopoly Slots, Hog Heaven Slots and Slingo Ricochet.

What’s your favorite TV show? I have a few. Quite a few in fact. The Walking Dead is the BEST series on tv, bottom line!! Suits, SOA, Longmire, Satisfaction, Parenthood, CSI, Criminal Minds, SVU and Big Bang Theory.

What’s your favorite drink? I am a HUGE diet Dew drinker. I drink it like water.

What’s your favorite season? I have 2, fall and winter. I live in Maine, ‘nough said, lol.

Apart from Pogo, what are your hobbies?  Working on my website and collecting anything Red Sox.

What’s the last good book you read? In all honesty it is a book about the Red Sox, lol. It’s titled 100 Things Red Sox Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die.

Who’s your hero or heroine and why? I have 2, my mom and my dad. I picked them, not to be unoriginal, but because without them to keep me on the path I took in life, I would not be the person I have grown to become today.

If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do?  I would absolutely go to Disney World, lol.

If you could gently remove any celebrity from the spotlight, who would it be? Hands down, Justin Bieber.

Do you have a clean joke you can share with us? What do you get from a pampered cow? Spoiled milk!

How long have you been playing Pogo? 4+ years. I still consider myself a newbie, lol.

What makes you a unique Pogo fan? I really don’t consider myself unique, I’m just me!

I can usually be found on Pogo.com playing: Word Search Daily or Tri-Peaks

Coffee, tea, or soda? Coffee and soda.

Sugary treats or salty treats? I usually have both. It’s a weird craving thing my boyfriend got me into.

Cat, dog or small rodent? Cat, I have 3 – Callie, Crackers and Chloe. My daughter named them and her name begins with a C as well. I’m sensing a pattern here somewhere!

If you could remove any emotion from mankind, which one would you choose? Hate

  • Hello Laurie. Congrats on being in the Spotlight! You seem like a cool lady with a good head on her shoulders. I too have a 21 year old daughter and they sure are good at making us feel old. Luckily I have a houseful of younger kids to keep me from planting myself in the rocking chair just yet. ;)

    Your clean joke was UDDERLY adorable. (sorry….could not resist.)

    Congrats again and I’ll be adding you to my friendslist, I hope that is ok!

    Have a great day.

  • Go Red Sox….next year! ;) Enjoyed reading your profile, Laurie. I used to go camping in Maine (Papoose Pond) every summer with my family when I was young. I love Maine! All the best to you.

  • Hi Laurie! Nice profile. I love Maine, too, especially the lobster. I live in Georgia, but have traveled to Maine several times because it is so beautiful! I would like to read the entire Andy Warhol quote. Do you know where I might find it? All my dogs names begin with “R”, so I know how naming pets works! Do you play in a particular room in Tri-Peaks and Word Search Daily? I will look for you. Good luck in all that you do and especially the soul mate! mossjcrm

  • Hi Laurie. Great profile. Where do you live in Maine? I just got back from Maine a few weeks ago. I usually stay in West Paris near Sunday River. I really love Maine but I don’t think I could handle the Winters. I live in Maryland.

    It is nice to read about people on Pogo and you sound like a really nice person. Take care.

  • That’s one of the best spotlights I have ever seen! Laurie, you rock! AND you are a sox fan! Even better! Lol.

  • Thank you all so much!! :)

  • Ummm.
    the word Fraud comes to mind…..doesn’t sound like the person I’ve dealt with… Nice try!

  • Congrats on being chosen for the Spotlight!

  • Hi Laurie, Congrats on being the SLP…great profile. I’m from Mass but I do love Maine, especially this time of year with the foliage. Also love the Red Sox. Take care.
