When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah?
September 2006
Why did you choose Blue?
I felt I could contribute best to the site as a Blue. I like to get involved in projects and this fits the Blue ideal. To be Blue also means to be an individual and yet somehow part of a family. I fit as sometimes I like to be a bit of a loner :)
Are you like the Blues in the Books?
They are much more determined and manipulative than I. But I think I am a little.
Do you plot and manipulate? Do you travel a lot?
I do plot. Sometimes I have ideas and I get stuck into them. I wouldn't say I manipulate. I have travelled around a little but on holidays only. I haven't travelled for the sake of travelling.
How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
I was never a Citizen as when I originally joined the site the rank had not yet been introduced. I loved being a Novice and Accepted. You get to have a lot of fun, even the classes were fun.
What things do you do for TV.net?
I have run a couple of classes, worked on some member manual, contributed several articles to the Tower library, am a member of the Research team and have served as Heart, Soul and Sitter for the Blue Ajah. I'm also a moderator and work in the Philanthropy Department.
How did you get to read the Series?
A boy in my college was reading them and let me borrow them for the breaks in between classes. I got hooked
Who is your mentee, if you have one?
Zarathi was my mentee but she's all grown up now. My current mentees are Amendra and Kaelin.
Who's your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
I like Mat. He's a nice cheeky chappy. Favourite Nation is probably Andor. I don't know why it just seems to be strong and proud yet just. The others all seem flawed.
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?)
Yes I was at Euro 06 in Skipton. I had a great time. RL functions are what makes our community so different and I think all members should try and experience at least one.
What kind of music do you like?
I like old pop songs. I hate over played songs but if I'm out on a night out I like the DJ to play R&B otherwise at home I listen to 60s/70s music
What are your favorite movies?
Dirty Dancing, Footloose, and then comedies and stuff
What's the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
I dunno if I can pick just one
What job do you have?
I'm training to be an Accountant
Do you have a pet?
No, we do have a fish at home but it doesn't belong to me.
What languages do you speak?
Besides English I have a good bit of Irish and French and I know a couple of sentences in other languages but nothing much.
What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Teacher, though I do remember filling in a form when I was in school stating that I wanted to be President of Ireland.
Moiraine or Siuan?
At the moment Siuan as I feel I know her better.
Shienar or Saldaea?
Shienar, I like the thought of the communal baths (j/k) I like the way they seem so old fashioned, chivalrous and full of honour.
Tea or coffee?
Tea, can't stand coffee. I drink 4 or 5 cuppa chas a day
Books or movies?
Books of course though I do like movies a lot too.
A short bio about yourself.
I'm from Dublin. I like to collect books and I like things to match.
