Tower Sworn Interview

January 30, 2008

How long have you been a member of TV.net?

5 and a half years

How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?

Very short, but enjoyable. I was only a novice for a week and Accepted for like three.

Why did you choose Green?

I felt like I fit in with the other Greens and also it just felt right.

Are you like the Greens in the Books?

Sometimes. I would definitely be the type of Aes Sedai who would stride boldly into the middle of a battle, especially if it was to save the Dragon Reborn.

Do you like to party, love men and are you a sucker for fashion and make up?

I love men and enjoy fashion and makeup, but only enjoy partying on the occasion.

To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?

I am bonded to the fabulous Jalen Gaidin and also to Odin, by order of the Creator.

How did you get to read the Series?

My brother (Jarin Gaidin) tried to get me to read them when I was in High School, but I couldn't get past the first book. Then, my first year of college, things were slow and he shipped them all to me. I ate em up.

Who is your mentee, if you have one?

My mentees are all growed up now: Penryn, Karalyne and Sonea Sedais.

Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?

I've always been intrigued by Aviendha and Moiraine and love the Saldean culture.

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?)

I have attended many RL functions and have always felt that they are a necessary thing for anyone that is able to, because it really solidifies the connection between the members.

What kind of music do you like?

Everything but hardcore rock/punk/etc.

What are your favorite movies?

Love Actually, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Garden State....so many others.

What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?

Joined a website devoted to a book series. Also, when I dropped everything to go intern for Disney World.

What job do you have?

I am currently a project manager for a company that does paperless management software for optometry offices. (Try saying that three times fast!)

Do you have a pet?

Yes, I have three. One miniature schnauzer named Angel and two cats: Basil and Cleo.

What languages do you speak?

English, Bad English and Pig Latin.

What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?

I wanted to be an animator for Disney.

Elayne or Cadsuane?

Cadsuane

Aiel or Atha'an Miere?

Aiel

Winter or summer?

Winter

Day or night?

A short bio about yourself.

I am married to the amazing Cathel Gaidin and am lucky enough to be fairly happy in my life. I am surrounded by people I love and who love me and wouldn't want to change much. I hate doing these type of bio things, because I am a terrible writer, so I'll say: if you want to know more about me, PM me. :D
