Senior Member Interview

Last Updated - July 23th 2010

Why did you choose Blue?

It was the place I could be me. I can do my own thing, have my own opinions and not be called down for it.


Are you like the Blues in the Books?

Plotsy, motivated, fight for my cause


Do you plot and manipulate? Do you travel a lot?

I travel as much as I can, and I will say that for good or bad, I do plot and manipulate. (I do try to keep using my powers for good tho ;) )


How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?

It was interesting! I could have used the time more wisely, getting to know folks - but I was a much shyer person back then. The tower has helped me open up to folks a bit more. I'm still shy, but I'm better about it now!


What things do you do for TV.net?

I've helped in various ways through Community Development, Philanthropy and operating the chat room #wheel. I like to think that I'm always willing to step up when needed in any way I can.


How did you get to read the Series?

a friend recommended them in high school, I think i was 15 or so. I had a crush on him, so I started reading them. The crush didn't last, but I did get some good book recommendations from someone who's now a good friend.


Who's your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?

Altara, and Min


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?)

many, and I really enjoy them. It's good to know the person behind the avatar - it helps dispel misconceptions and form friendships you might not have founded based on online interactions. I find that folks relax a bit more, and you can get to know each other much easier in person. the books and the site brought us together, RL interactions help us find the other things we have in common. Plus, it's always nice to have a vacation with friends!


What kind of music do you like?

classic rock, a bit of ska, rockabilly, etc.


What are your favorite movies?

Many of the classic animated Disney films, Labyrinth. If it's got a good soundtrack that I can sing along to, I generally find it becomes a favorite.


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

Choosing seems so unfair to all the stupid/crazy things I've done


What job do you have?

Currently I'm a secretary and Co. Captain for a roller derby team


Do you have a pet?

I spoil Tillie, my dachshund mix, and my parents' dog Scooter - a standard dachshund as well asmy boyfriend's terrier mutt Roscoe


What languages do you speak?

English


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

Archaeologist


Moiraine or Siuan?

Siuan


Shienar or Saldaea?

Saldaea


Tea or coffee?

Tea


Books or movies?

Books


A short bio about yourself.

I'm in my late 20s and I live in Galveston Texas, USA. I will eventually get my BA in History. I'm the eldest of three (two brothers). Before he died in 2008 I'd managed to introduce my youngest brother to WoT. I've been with my boyfriend for several years, and he thinks most of what I do WoT-wise is silly, but he doesn't mind too much. I like to craft and travel and read. In late 2009 I started playing Roller Derby, and it's become my latest greatest obsession. I like food a lot :D Spaghetti or a nice medium rare steak will always make the perfect dinner :P
