Meilen Gevedon, Senior Member Interview, February 27 2010

What is your Tower name?

Meilen Gevedon

When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah?

2/7/2010

Why did you choose Blue?

Because it's awesome. Actually, it's a cult, get out while you can! Agakjsfgrghf!

Are you like the Blues in the Books?

I suppose so. Although I think I have a bit more of a sense of humor. But, I think if Siuan existed in the real world, we'd swear about the same number of times per sentence.

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

I LOVE to travel. It's possibly my favorite thing to do. I don't buy many clothes or books or anything because I like to save up my money and then go jaunt off across the ocean.

Plotting? You'll just have to wait to see that for yourself.

How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?

I don't really remember being a citizen or a novice that well because that was roughly five years ago. I remember some awesome prank with Kiana and Zhareen where we dressed up like recruits, but that's about it. But, Neisa has always been my MoN!

Most of my time as an Accepted was spent retaliating against Zashara's abuse and drawing stupid pictures with Ariana.

How long have you been a member of TV.net?

A bit longer than 5.5 years.

What things do you do for TV.net?

I'm the Visual Resource Lead and I make pretty shiny things and poke my nose into everyone else's business. I'm also a chat operator, which mostly means that I've been completely corrupted by power and use it for purposes of the utmost good, of course.

How did you get to read the Series?

Hyain of the White Ajah made me read them. Now you have someone to blame!

To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?

I have yet to find someone awesome enough to be worth my bond.

Who is your mentee, if you have one?

I have yet to find someone miserable enough for me to torture with my mentorship.

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

My favorite character is definitely Bela. She's practically pan-dimensional, which rules. I'm also a fan of Siuan and her gutter mouth and Cadsuane's ridiculous hair ornaments.

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 been to an official function, but I have had the misfortune of meeting Cealestis, Zashara, Eriana, Ayende, Cursor, and Badria in real life. They're all horrible people who blow up hospitals and eat babies. Don't hang out with Tower people!

What kind of music do you like?

Hipster art student music. MGMT, Black Moth Super Rainbow, you get the gist. If you haven't heard of it, I probably listen to it.

What are your favorite movies?

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Rocket Science.

What job do you have?

Too many.

Currently, I'm a full-time college student and I work part time as a graphic designer for a toy company. This means that I get to play with toy cars and then build the boxes that they come in. I also work as a designer for my school, making posters and product decals that are sold in my school store. You know how weird it is to see someone walking around with a product you made? It's weird. I also do freelance design work.

Do you have a pet?

Yes. He's an invisible brontosaurus named Ernesto, and he also flies. Oh, and I have a few fish too. They get along swimmingly.

What languages do you speak?

English and passable French.

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

Astronaut. I had bed sheets with stars and planets on them for years! I also had every single book about space.

Moiraine or Siuan?

Siuan. Can't beat her obscenities.

Shienar or Saldea?

They both suck, they're up north and cold. Let's go with someplace warm like Tarabon or Tear.

Tea or coffee?

Tea all the way. I'm something of a tea fiend. I'm particularly partial to greens, specifically anything with green jasmine.

Books or movies?

Depends on the book or movie. There are books I dislike and movies I dislike. At the moment, I'm feeling more attached to movies because I just watched Toy Story and it's adorable.

A short bio about yourself.

I'm too awesome for words and therefore a bio is unnecessary. If you want to know anything about me, just picture the most awesome thing that you possibly can. Like, say, Cthulu fighting Darth Vader and a giant squid on a rainbow in outer space with jetpacks. That's me.
