+ | |||
+ | *;Why did you choose Blue? | ||
+ | It was the place I could be me. I can do my own thing, have my own opinions and not be called down for it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;Are you like the Blues in the Books? | ||
+ | Plotsy, motivated, fight for my cause | ||
− | ;Moiraine or Siuan? | + | *;Do you plot and manipulate? Do you travel a lot? |
+ | I travel as much as I can, and I will say that for good or bad, I do plot and manipulate. (I do try to keep using my powers for good tho ;) ) | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted? | ||
+ | It was interesting! I could have used the time more wisely, getting to know folks - but I was a much shyer person back then. The tower has helped me open up to folks a bit more. I'm still shy, but I'm better about it now! | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;What things do you do for TV.net? | ||
+ | I've helped in various ways through Community Development, Philanthropy and operating the chat room #wheel. I like to think that I'm always willing to step up when needed in any way I can. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;How did you get to read the Series? | ||
+ | a friend recommended them in high school, I think i was 15 or so. I had a crush on him, so I started reading them. The crush didn't last, but I did get some good book recommendations from someone who's now a good friend. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;Who's your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation? | ||
+ | Altara, and Min | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?) | ||
+ | many, and I really enjoy them. It's good to know the person behind the avatar - it helps dispel misconceptions and form friendships you might not have founded based on online interactions. I find that folks relax a bit more, and you can get to know each other much easier in person. the books and the site brought us together, RL interactions help us find the other things we have in common. Plus, it's always nice to have a vacation with friends! | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;What kind of music do you like? | ||
+ | classic rock, a bit of ska, rockabilly, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;What are your favorite movies? | ||
+ | Many of the classic animated Disney films, Labyrinth. If it's got a good soundtrack that I can sing along to, I generally find it becomes a favorite. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;What's the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done? | ||
+ | Choosing seems so unfair to all the stupid/crazy things I've done | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;What job do you have? | ||
+ | Currently I'm a secretary and Co. Captain for a roller derby team | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;Do you have a pet? | ||
+ | I spoil Tillie, my dachshund mix, and my parents' dog Scooter - a standard dachshund as well as my boyfriend's terrier mutt Roscoe | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;What languages do you speak? | ||
+ | English | ||
+ | |||
+ | *;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid? | ||

Before he died in 2008 I'd managed to introduce my youngest brother to WoT. I've been with my boyfriend for several years, and he thinks most of what I do WoT-wise is silly, but he doesn't mind too much. I like to craft and travel and read. In late 2009 I started playing Roller Derby, and it's become my latest greatest obsession. I like food a lot :D Spaghetti or a nice medium rare steak will always make the perfect dinner :P | ||

Tower Sworn Interview
May 27, 2015
Why did you choose Brown?
I got a good feeling of several different personality types coexisting in a really comfortable way.
Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
I love books, but I'm more of a plan for all the potentials than a daydreamer. It ends up with the same not-paying-attention dazed look, but it's pointed planning!
Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
I hate to default to Verin, but she is pretty spectacular.
How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
1996
How did you first get into the series?
I was interested in a guy who was reading the series, and picked it up on his suggestion. Still friends with the guy, but that never became more than friendship.
Who is your favorite "hero"?
Batman
Favorite bad guy/gal?
Joker
If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I waffle between an Aiel Wise One and an Aes Sedai with some sort of political appointment.
How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?
I found the site while looking for info on the series back in 2001. I joined the site 2 years later on a whim (and MMORPG withdrawals).
What do you do in "real life"?
Data coordinator
Do you have any hobbies?
Roller Derby & SCA take up all the hours of my life that aren't work and sleeps.
What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
classic rock
What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
How It's Made, River Monsters, Say Yes to the Dress, anything Jason Statham is in.
Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
Kingkiller Chronicle, works by Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis.
What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Archaeologist
