| + | |||
| + | '''Why did you choose Green?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I’m passionate about the things that matter most to me. I’m a fighter, not in the classical sense. There have been times in my life where I have had to overcome obstacles and have the will and ‘fight’ to go on. As clichéd as it sounds, Green is home. I feel comfortable and like I belong; Green is who I am | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Are you like the Greens in the books? Do you like to have fun with men? Are you a fierce warrior?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Not so much I don’t think, I see myself as a mix of book Green and White. I’m very passionate but also very logical and analytical. I’m not much of a party girl unless I want to dance and have fun. And I do get along with men. Am I a fierce warrior? Yes and no. I stick up for what I believe in and will defend that but I am reasonable and can always view both sides of the argument. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Since 2005. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''How did you first get into the series?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I was 15 and completing my Year 10 school work experience at a book shop. I was working in the Sci-fi/Fantasy section. As I was working I would read the blurbs of any book that looked interesting and I spotted the series sitting there on the shelf. The rest as they say is history. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Who is your favorite "hero"?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Hero as in one of the three guys or general good character? I prefer Rand out of the 3 boys, most of the time. But my favourite character is Nynaeve, she’s stubborn like me. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Favorite bad guy/gal?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Moridin/Moghedien. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Favorite book and scene?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | My favourite book is probably Eye of the World as it first introduced me to the characters. My favourite scene in the series is after Moghedien sends balefire into Nyanaeve’s boat. I love the scene where she finally surrenders herself. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Probably an Aes Sedai. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I met a fellow member at University but she couldn’t convince me to join. Six months later she then introduced me to another member and I was given an ultimatum; create an account myself or they would and give me the most horrendous name and avatar. Safe to say I created my account that night. So it’s all Nyarin and Morrie’s fault :P | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''What do you do in "real life"?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I’m a trainee accountant/auditor, I’m 6 months into the job and I love it. I have another 3.5 years before I’m fully qualified, but this job suits me perfectly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Do you have any hobbies?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I love to read, watch tv shows and films, I love listening to music and singing. I love baking creative cupcakes and cakes and other types of cooking. I can knit, though only scarves so far. I also enjoy painting and drawing with oil and chalk pastels. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Quite a lot! I like several genres but I love heavy rock/metal the most, favourite bands include Muse, Korn, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, System of a Down, 30 Seconds to Mars. I also love other genres; music such as Florence and the Machine, Adele, David Bowie and Snow Patrol. I could continue to list a lot more! Music is a huge part of my daily life, I don't go anywhere without my iPhone and headphones! | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | My favourite TV shows include Stargate SG1, Grey’s Anatomy, Torchwood, Bones, Merlin, Once upon a Time, Glee, Sherlock, Buffy the Vampire Slayer…again I could list a ton more! My favourite films, gosh I have a lot of DVD’s and lots of favourites including; Fifth Element, Labyrinth, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Ever After, Spirited Away, LoTR, Matrix Trilogy, Star Wars, and Tangled. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I’m a huge fan of Trudi Canavan all her books are wonderful especially the Black Magician trilogy. Sara Douglass’ Axis trilogy and subsequent trilogies. David Eddings’ The Belgariad. I love The Thief with No Shadow and The Laurentine Spy by Emily Gee. And I’m addicted to the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. There are probably books/series’ that I’ve forgotten as there are so many fantastic authors out there! | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | I recently discovered a school project that I did when I was 10; ‘All about me’, and it actually has the question “what do you want to be when you’re older?” I answered either a Doctor or an Accountant. I can’t stand the sight of blood so I think it must be fate that I’ve fallen into a job training to be an accountant! --> | ||
