−	Hello! I'm Amanda. I've been hanging around tv.net for far too long (since 2002, I believe... I lose track ). I live in the great land of Mitten, also known as Michigan. I'm 19 and attending community college right now, aiming for an Associate of Arts. I plan on transferring to- well, to somewhere, I'm not sure yet- in the fall of '09. I hope to be an accountant, although I'm not sure exactly what kind of accounting I want to do yet.	+	=={{greenheader2}} Tower Involvement==

Tower Sworn Interview

Updated March 20th, 2022.

How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?

Since 2001.

How did you first get into the series?

My mom bought me the Eye of the World.

Favorite book and scene?

Lord of Chaos is my favorite book. It's hard to pick one favorite scene. So I'll give a couple (in no particular order): Rand and Tam in ToM; Egwene in the Last Battle; Dumai's Wells; That scene with Verin.

If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?

I'd be hard pressed to choose between an Aes Sedai and a traveling bard.

How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?

I think I found it through a link on Dragonmount ages ago. I didn't stay on Dragonmount long but I did stay here. I stayed because of the people. I love my Tower family.

What do you do in "real life"?

I'm a dog mom and an IT system analyst.

Do you have any hobbies?

Travel, music, gaming (video and tabletop), reading, sleeping. Pretty much in that order.

What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?

I listen to a really wide variety, but lately I tend to gravitate towards indie pop, dreampop, alternative rock, soul, r&b, and bluegrass. I'll listen to almost anything, other than maybe polka and modern country. Oh- and I love basically everything John Williams has ever done.

What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?

Empire Strikes Back, GOT, Star Trek TNG, The IT Crowd, Lovesick, The Clone Wars, My Neighbor Totoro, Moulin Rouge, Long Way Round, The Big Lebowski, Office Space

Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?

Most things by Bill Bryson, Hokkaido Highway Blues by Will Ferguson, The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist, Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, Kushiel's Legacy trilogy by Jacqueline Carey, a whole bunch of stuff by Mercedes Lackey, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz, Unicorns I Have Known by Robert Vavra, probably other things I'm forgetting.
