==Senior Member Interview==
 
''Loira Al'Ramoidra, Senior Member Interview, May 6 2009 (updated November 16 2010)''
 
 
 
;What is your Tower name?
 
Loira Al'Ramoidra
 
 
 
;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the White Ajah?
 
In May, 2008.
 
 
 
;Why did you choose White?
 
It's much about this often mentioned gut feeling, you really do know when you have found your home. The Whites...nothing beats their humor and the closeness we have. You have their full support no matter what happens. I like what the White Ajah stands for at TV.Net, the stereotypical logic that while it may not make sense to anyone else, it makes sense to yourself.
 
 
 
;Are you like the Whites in the Books?
 
Nah, at least not in the earlier books. I have difficulties staying calm and logical when things turned heated. Maybe a TGS White though.
 
 
 
;Are you like a rock and have a serene face all the time?
 
Definitely not. In fact I've had people telling me I'm way too giggly to be Aes Sedai at all, lol.
 
 
 
;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
 
Citizen: not too exciting. I was still so shy back then, I usually didn't say a word to anyone. But when I managed to get myself some sponsors and joined the crazy Tower, I lightened up and the fun started. I really enjoyed being both Novice & Accepted. I was, well still am, very active and try to keep up with most places.
 
 
 
;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
 
Since January 2007.
 
 
 
;What things do you do for TV.net?
 
Um..I contribute in my own way? I try to spread the joy I feel each time I sneak around on the boards...I am currently a the White Heart and Tower Historian...and I've been writing stuff for the Library in the past. I've been a Moderator for various forums, I've been a Sitter in the Hall, and I'm also spreading my positive energy *cough* on events, both official and local!
 
 
 
;How did you get to read the Series?
 
My English teacher in 6th grade told me to go pick some thicker books than those I read at the time. WoT was the thickest I could find.
 
 
 
;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
 
I am Bonded to my most precious friend, Aldazar Tiarana <3
 
 
 
;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
 
Enya Tawarwaith, who is Sedai herself by now, Asine Dormandi, and Prewan Beldaim.
 
 
 
;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
 
Nynaeve, Lan & Moiraine are all my favs. Each so strong, funny and...special. I have no favourite nation...but I guess I would have liked the Borderlands.
 
 
 
;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?)
 
Yeah, I've been to four official events so far and several local ones. I loved it very much and will definitely make it a tradition. It was fantastic seeing so many of my friends from the boards and realize that they're actually my friends in real life as well ;p Everyone who's in for a fun weekend should try out a TV.Net event.
 
 
 
;What kind of music do you like?
 
Classic rock & Indie
 
 
 
;What are your favorite movies?
 
Gone With The Wind, Billy Elliot, The Full Monty, Smiles of a Summer Night...just to mention a few. I love movies
 
 
 
;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
 
That shall be left unsaid.
 
 
 
;What job do you have?
 
Um, I'm a student. But I work summertime at a nursing home.
 
 
 
;Do you have a pet?
 
No. Used to have guinea pigs, I miss them. Lovely fluffy furballs.
 
 
 
;What languages do you speak?
 
Swedish, English, some French. Then I understand Norwegian and some Danish. Taking a German class this spring, too.
 
 
 
;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
 
I wanted to be a cook!
 
 
 
;Randland or our world?
 
Our world. I would not know how to deal with having real Aes Sedai powers.
 
 
 
;Alviarin or Seaine?
 
Seaine, she kicks ass.
 
 
 
;Books or movies?
 
Books. No matter how much of a movie dork I am, I prefer visualising the worlds and characters myself.
 
  
;Candles or lamps?
+
=={{whiteheader1}}Official Event Attendance==
Lamps. Too afraid of fire to be completely comfy with candles.

*'''Why did you choose White?'''
 +
White was home. It's much about this often mentioned gut feeling, you really do know when you have found your home. The Whites...nothing beats their humor and the closeness we have. You have their full support no matter what happens. I like what the White Ajah stands for at TV.Net, the lurkiness, the stereotypical logic that while it may not make sense to anyone else, it makes sense to yourself.<br>
 +
*'''Are you like the Whites in the Books?'''
 +
Nah, at least not in the earlier books. Maybe a TGS White though.<br>
 +
*'''Are you a logical woman with no time for emotion in her life?'''
 +
Haha, I wish! I’m too emotional for my own good, actually :p And I’m probably the least logical person I know…<br>
 +
*'''Do you have a favorite White Ajah character from the novels?'''
 +
Seaine… what’s not to like about her!<br>
 +
*'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''
 +
I started reading the books in 2000 I think, so 11 going on 12 years now.<br>
 +
*'''How did you first get into the series?'''
 +
My English teacher in 6th grade told me to go pick some thicker books than those I read at the time. WoT was the thickest I could find.<br>
 +
*'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''
 +
Lan. Much love on him.<br>
 +
*'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''
 +
That would have to be Asmodean.<br>
 +
*'''Favorite book and scene?'''
 +
Frankly I can’t tell the books apart, but I’ve liked all of them equally much… perhaps the first one, The Eye of the World, is more of a favourite than the others. There’s something special about the bits where Perrin and Egwene travel together. Fav scenes though are without a doubt the first Nynaeve and Lan moment with the horse/tracking, and the first Nynaeve and Lan kiss. Yup, I’m a Nynaeve and Lan fan :p<br>
 +
*'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''
 +
Probably a female Warder type like Birgitte. Or an Aes Sedai spy.<br>
 +
*'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''
 +
Uhm, like so many others I was googling info about the coming books, and stumbled upon the site. I decided to stay first of all because I thought it a great way to keep up to date with WoT news, but then also because I found some fun people to talk to. Staying on to become Senior Member was probably because I’m a very goal oriented person who’s always going for the next possible achievement.<br>
 +
*'''What do you do in "real life"?'''
 +
I'm an assistant nurse in a nursing home.<br>
 +
*'''Do you have any hobbies?'''
 +
TRAVELLING! Travelling is definitely my number one activity, it’s basically the only thing I do as soon as I got time and money over! But I also enjoy music and dancing, beer, reading, and movies… I’m a bit of a culture geek – I go to a lot of theatres, musicals, cinemas, et cetera.<br>
 +
*'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''
 +
Indie pop/rock, mostly. Classic rock too. Favs are Patrick Wolf, Owen Pallet, Florence + The Machine, Little Majorette, Queen, Marina and the Diamonds, Markus Krunegård, Frida Hyvönen, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pat Benatar, Sex Pistols, The Divine Comedy, David Bowie... to mention a few :p<br>
 +
*'''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?'''
 +
I really don’t watch a lot of TV, but some series I like and follow are CSI: Miami and currently the new series New Girl (love Zooey Deschanel)… other series I like are The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Sherlock, Unit 1, Scrubs, Flight of the Conchords, Monarch of the Glen… and probably a few more that I can’t think of right now. Favourite movies are Boondock Saints, Gone with the Wind, Love Actually, Night Games, Smiles of a Summer Night, How to Train your Dragon, Billy Elliot, Delicatessen, and The Full Monty.<br>
 +
*'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''
 +
The Deverry Cycle by Katherine Kerr, The Redemption of Althalus by David Eddings, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, anything by Ken Follett, and Otherland by Tad Williams.<br>
 +
*'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?'''
 +
Cook, or baker. I still love cooking, but I’d never work with it today :P
  
;A short bio about yourself.
 
21 years old. Student, working on a bachelor in English and one in Tourism. Travel a lot, read a lot, watch a lot of movies, listen to music 24/7... simply said, I enjoy life ;) I share a flat with my best friend, I'm a very random person, and I love food and everything England.

You have their full support no matter what happens. I like what the White Ajah stands for at TV.Net, the lurkiness, the stereotypical logic that while it may not make sense to anyone else, it makes sense to yourself.
