- How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?
I was googling back in the early days and found a few WoT sites; Dragonmount, Stone Dogs etc. I believe Stone Dogs was what linked me here and I was soon hooked. I had a few LoAs until we got proper broadband in my parents around the time book 10 was released, I think. It prompted me back and I realised I wanted to stick around permanently.
- What do you do in "real life"?
I'm a Trainee Accountant in a Recruitment company, mostly doing payroll and such. Pretty dull really but I do like spreadsheets.
- Do you have any hobbies?
Besides reading I like puzzles and spreadsheets. I enjoy editing the library here and researching WoT stuff.
- What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
I love pop. I really love old songs though, new songs tend to get over played really quickly! I love singing crap and dancing around. In a club I prefer RnB to dance music though.
- What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Dirty Dancing, Labyrinth, Willow, Grease, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Braveheart are some of my favourite films. TV shows change depending on the season but Buffy, Grey's Anatomy, Blue Bloods, Friends, Two and a Half Men and the Simpsons are ones that I could watch at any time no matter how often I've seen the episode before.
- Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I love series. I'd much rather read a series than an individual book so I've read quite a bit of fantasy. Butcher's Alera series was pretty good, Ilona Andrew's Kate Daniel's series is pretty good fluff, as is Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. I liked Eddings Belgariad series (but not mad about the Mallorean), LotR is obviously worth a read, and a reread! I enjoyed ASoIaF too. Besides fantasy I like Historical fiction. Conn Iggulden's Conquerors series is well worth the read and Philippa Gregory is worth picking up.
- What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be President (or so I wrote on one questionnaire when I was small) but teacher and nun also featured. I'd love to own my own store/pub but I do enjoy numbers and spreadsheets so it seems I'm destined for finance, alas!
