Q: So why do you want to be an admin?
A:I'd like to be an admin so that I can help out more. I'm not much of an article-writer, although I do have a couple DYKs. There are a lot more WikiGnome-ish things I can do as an admin. For example, when vandal fighting, it would be useful to be able to just block the vandal, instead of reporting to WP:AIV.
Q: How can I help you prepare for an RFA?
A: Hard to describe. By teaching what sort of things I should be doing more of. Right now, I only have two informal opinions. Another just occurred to me: dealing with criticism, and how to word things in an RfA. In the questions here, things just didn't come out right.
