From the moment I set e-foot into the White halls, I knew I was home. Everything fit. I was comfortable posting, I didn't have to work to be "one of the girls", I had something to contribute and could take something away as well. I just knew it was where I belonged. Oddly enough, I thought it would be the one place I DIDN'T belong, so I guested there first. :p I still tried all the others, but came back to my heart's-home.

Sometimes, yes. I can be completely logical in my search for cause. I am also VERY calm in stressful situations. But in most ways, no. I let my emotions play a HUGE part in what I do and how I react to things. I feel before I think and act on my feelings a lot. And it can get me into trouble..... like catching crazy people who jump off the top of beds at work when they think I'm trying to kidnap them.

Not at all. Actually, I'm usually smiling like an idiot. :D I love to smile and make people happy by doing it. Serenity is good, don't get me wrong, but happiness is better.

I went through every other book in the library of the little town I grew up in and the Librarian handed me the first book and said "This should keep you busy for a while". It was in 1993, so the first four books were out and the 5th was on it's way..... Of course, she was wrong. I read the first four in a little over a week and came and asked where her next challenge for me was. lol

*;Why did you choose White?

I'd have to say Nyanaeve. She's a LOT like me... and yet so different it's amazing. :) I love the Aiel....
+
I had said in my last interview that it just "felt right". This still holds true. It really did fit me well. I tried all the Ajahs. I really felt like I could have joined any of them. They all had a little part of me. But the truth is, when I thought of not going back to the White Ajah halls..... EVER..... well, I just couldn't take that thought. I missed being there and my second guesting sealed it for me.

*;Are you like the Whites in the Books? Are you a logical woman with no time for emotion in her life?
−
No, not a big one anyway. I met up with Serenla, Cassie (my mentor), Khisanth and Lyinar in Atlanta while I was down there as an accepted, and then had a small local gathering at my house, too. I've also met a couple other people, most notably my best friend Tsubasa, who came and stayed with me. :D
+
Nope. I can be logical. I can be extremely logical and I will use logic and reason to find the root cause of any event. But I have emotion, use emotion, and am sometimes ruled by emotion. Like a Cairheinin..... what is bottled up sometimes comes out in reckless abandon..... So I tend to NOT bottle it up.

;What kind of music do you like?
+
*;Do you have a favorite White Ajah character from the novels?
−
I listen to pretty much anything.... depends on my mood. I like deeper, richer sounds.

I don't have, but if I did I would probably choose Daigian. I mean, she was cool enough to hang with Cadsuane (whose character I love) AND bond an Asha'man.

;What are your favorite movies?
+
*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?

Action and sci-fi. The Riddick movies will always be at the top of my list, because I LOVE vin diesel.

I've been stuck on them since 1992, I believe.... Maybe 1993..

I'm a registered nurse in an intensive care unit. All the really sick patients, I help get them better.

I found Tarvalon.net while doing a search for actors likely to play the lead roles in a movie adaptation.
