Senior Member Interview
Samarasin Tavaral, Senior Member Interview, July 1 2011
- When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah?
Monday. Ok, June 27, 2011.
- Why did you choose Yellow?
I felt most comfortable with the Yellow Ajah. I knew from the moment I started guesting there that it would be my home. I tried leaving, but I came back a week later.
- Are you like the Yellows in the Books?
I suppose I might be. Although Nynaeve is my least favorite character.
- Do you care for people and love to heal things?
Of course! I have my Master's degree in Counseling. So I like to heal more in the mental sense, rather than the physical one.
- How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
I had so much fun!! Not long after I joined, it was "free week" with the Seanchan Invasion. That was a blast (even though I died before it was all over). I was just a Citizen at the time, but I think that whole activity really made me feel like I was part of the community. As a Novice, I enjoyed participating in the feast days (especially Shaoman), and getting to know the ladies in my dorm. Being a Novice was lots of fun, and even earned me the nickname "Dama", thanks to a particular post in Project Gaidin. As an Accepted, I enjoyed being able to guest, and to spend more time with the Yellows in their sitting room. My time as Accepted just seemed to fly by!
- How long have you been a member of TV.net?
As of this writing, 46 weeks and 5 days (I joined on August 6, 2010).
- What things do you do for TV.net?
Let's see...I write for the Tar Valon Times, I'm a forum moderator, a member of the OA team, and the Yellow Sunshine. Whew!
- How did you get to read the Series?
I have a friend that adores the books, and he'd been pestering me to read for a while. I finally picked them up, and couldn't put them down!
- To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
Not bonded...yet.
- Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
I love Moiraine and Perrin.
- 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?)
I haven't had the chance to attend any yet.
- What kind of music do you like?
Depends on my mood...Soft rock, oldies, something I can crank up and dance around to.
- What are your favorite movies?
I love comedies. Nothing beats a good laugh.
- What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
Does writing "Yellow" on my chest with chocolate count?
- What job do you have?
I just got hired as a high school counselor.
- Do you have a pet?
Yes, a lab/bloodhound mix named Hunter.
- What languages do you speak?
English, and a bit of Spanish (not enough to hold a conversation, but I can ask where the bathroom is)
- What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
When I started band in Grade 6, I wanted to play the french horn in the New York Philharmonic.
- Min or Aviendha?
Aviendha
- Sword or Spear?
Sword
- Candy or Cookies?
Both
- Clothing or Make up?
Both are optional, right?
- A short bio about yourself.
I really hate these. I'm a mom to two wonderful kids and a dog. I have my Master's in Counseling, and a Bachelor's in Family and Consumer Science (home ec). I love helping people any way that I can, although sometimes I end up being a doormat. I spend a lot of time on the computer, and love to search for freebies or enter contests. I find all sorts of stuff online. I like listening to other people talk, and am always willing to lend an ear, even if I don't have any advice. I get sad when I see people hurting or upset, especially when I can't "fix" it. Yes, I probably bleed Yellow. That's about all I can think of at the moment.
