−	;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the White Ajah?	+	{{anni2019}}
−	On February 29th, 2008. I can't believe I had to look that up. :blink
−
−	;Why did you choose White?
−	From the moment I set e-foot into the White halls, I knew I was home. Everything fit. I was comfortable posting, I didn't have to work to be "one of the girls", I had something to contribute and could take something away as well. I just knew it was where I belonged. Oddly enough, I thought it would be the one place I DIDN'T belong, so I guested there first. :p I still tried all the others, but came back to my heart's-home.
−
−	;Are you like the Whites in the Books?
−	Sometimes, yes. I can be completely logical in my search for cause. I am also VERY calm in stressful situations. But in most ways, no. I let my emotions play a HUGE part in what I do and how I react to things. I feel before I think and act on my feelings a lot. And it can get me into trouble..... like catching crazy people who jump off the top of beds at work when they think I'm trying to kidnap them.
−
−	;Are you like a rock and have a serene face all the time?
−	Not at all. Actually, I'm usually smiling like an idiot. :D I love to smile and make people happy by doing it. Serenity is good, don't get me wrong, but happiness is better.
−
−	;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
−	Oh wow!! It was the greatest. I spent as much time on here as I did doing anything else. I made great friends whom I still speak to all the time, I pulled a couple of great pranks, I started some good threads, and I found my calling in being on the OEC team..... of which I'm now the Coordinator. :)
−
−	;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
−	I joined on November 23rd, 2006. So just under 3 years. :D
−	;What things do you do for TV.net?	+	{{fb2013}}<!--Safety Committee-->
−	Well, I'm the Online Events Coordinator, as I said earlier. I'm also the Heart of the White ajah at this time, although that will be rotating through soon. I also serve as a moderator for several threads in my site position. I've done some graphics, some writing, and some goofing off. :D I hope they all added to the site some. :)
−	;How did you get to read the Series?	+	=={{whiteheader1}}Tower Sworn Interview==
−	I went through every other book in the library of the little town I grew up in and the Librarian handed me the first book and said "This should keep you busy for a while". It was in 1993, so the first four books were out and the 5th was on it's way..... Of course, she was wrong. I read the first four in a little over a week and came and asked where her next challenge for me was. lol	+	''October 11, 2011''
−	;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?	+	*;Why did you choose White?
−	No bond at this time. :(	+	I had said in my last interview that it just "felt right". This still holds true. It really did fit me well. I tried all the Ajahs. I really felt like I could have joined any of them. They all had a little part of me. But the truth is, when I thought of not going back to the White Ajah halls..... EVER..... well, I just couldn't take that thought. I missed being there and my second guesting sealed it for me.
−	;Who is your mentee, if you have one?	+	*;Are you like the Whites in the Books? Are you a logical woman with no time for emotion in her life?
−	My most recent Mentee was Slaine. I haven't gotten another yet. Slaine's a hard act to follow. :p	+	Nope. I can be logical. I can be extremely logical and I will use logic and reason to find the root cause of any event. But I have emotion, use emotion, and am sometimes ruled by emotion. Like a Cairheinin..... what is bottled up sometimes comes out in reckless abandon..... So I tend to NOT bottle it up.
−	;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?	+	*;Do you have a favorite White Ajah character from the novels?
−	I'd have to say Nyanaeve. She's a LOT like me... and yet so different it's amazing. :) I love the Aiel....	+	I don't have, but if I did I would probably choose Daigian. I mean, she was cool enough to hang with Cadsuane (whose character I love) AND bond an Asha'man.
−	;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?)	+	*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
−	No, not a big one anyway. I met up with Serenla, Cassie (my mentor), Khisanth and Lyinar in Atlanta while I was down there as an accepted, and then had a small local gathering at my house, too. I've also met a couple other people, most notably my best friend Tsubasa, who came and stayed with me. :D	+	I've been stuck on them since 1992, I believe.... Maybe 1993..
−	;What kind of music do you like?	+	*;How did you first get into the series?
−	I listen to pretty much anything.... depends on my mood. I like deeper, richer sounds.	+	The Librarian at my city library gave me the first few books and told me to "come back when you're done reading" thinking that I'd be gone for a while.... It took me about a week. lol
−	;What are your favorite movies?	+	*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
−	Action and sci-fi. The Riddick movies will always be at the top of my list, because I LOVE vin diesel.	+	Hard to decide... It varies from Cadsuane to Egwene, to Mat, to Tuon... Just depends on my mood I guess...
−	;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?	+	*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
−	Oh so many..... probably jumping off the top of my 25ft tall deck into........ nothing... just the ground. I nearly broke my feet/legs.	+	Totally love Alviarin and Moghedien....
−	;What job do you have?	+	*;Favorite book and scene?
−	I'm a registered nurse in an intensive care unit. All the really sick patients, I help get them better.	+	This I couldn't tell you. There are so many parts that I love, I can't pick... I can tell you my LEAST favorite scenes are street descriptions....
−	;Do you have a pet?	+	*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
−	I have two dogs, a cat, and (currently) 5 kittens. I have them all given away already, though.....We have had rabbits, ferrets, snakes, birds, and rats. :D	+	Probably have to say a Domani merchant... who is a retired Aes Sedai or a Kin member... Yay!
−	;What languages do you speak?	+	*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?
−	English.... and pocito espanol, and a little japanese.	+	I found Tarvalon.net while doing a search for actors likely to play the lead roles in a movie adaptation. The thread I found was in one of the discussion forums, but I couldn't look any further without joining. This was my first forum site, and I was so invited by it that I stayed. I found so many people to interact with that I couldn't leave.
−	;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?	+	*;What do you do in "real life"?
−	Nuclear physicist and a marine biologist..... still wanna be a marine biologist. :D	+	I'm a critical care nurse in a hospital in Oregon. I work ICU, ER/Trauma, Cardiac care..
−	;Randland or our world?	+	*;Do you have any hobbies?
−	In so many ways Randland would be great, but really.... do you wanna live somewhere that a bath/shower ONLY happened about once a month if you were REALLY spoiled?	+	Tons: Reading, crochet, crosstitch, sewing, hiking, camping, hunting, horsemanship, studying, cooking, baking, cake decorating..... Writing, too.
−	;Alviarin or Seaine?	+	*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
−	Alviarin She's got a bit more cunning to her.	+	I listen to most everything, but i prefer country right now, or Tartanic or some music like 5 finger death punch and three days grace....
−	;Books or movies?	+	*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
−	I really do prefer books. Lots and LOTS of books......	+	Farscape, Merlin, Xmen, LoTR, Transporter (all), Fast and Furious, Legend, Stephen King movies... there are others, but this is the gist of movie types.....
−	;Candles or lamps?	+	*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
−	I love candles. They give off a more natural light and they don't hurt my eyes.... but I don't like the smoke or the thought that I may burn something impotant..... like maybe..books. :look	+	I read a lot of Young Adult novels. I love the House of Night series, I like the Fablehaven novels, Lemony Snicket. I also like most Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms novels, pretty much anything by Anne McCaffery or her son, and the like.

I had said in my last interview that it just "felt right". This still holds true. It really did fit me well. I tried all the Ajahs. I really felt like I could have joined any of them.

I missed being there and my second guesting sealed it for me.

• Are you like the Whites in the Books? Are you a logical woman with no time for emotion in her life?

Nope. I can be logical. I can be extremely logical and I will use logic and reason to find the root cause of any event. But I have emotion, use emotion, and am sometimes ruled by emotion. Like a Cairheinin..... what is bottled up sometimes comes out in reckless abandon..... So I tend to NOT bottle it up.

• Do you have a favorite White Ajah character from the novels?

I don't have, but if I did I would probably choose Daigian. I mean, she was cool enough to hang with Cadsuane (whose character I love) AND bond an Asha'man.

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

I've been stuck on them since 1992, I believe.... Maybe 1993..
