I found TV.Net through a link on Dragonmount when I was 12. I waited to join until the day I turned 13- well, that was the plan, but I actually could only wait til a week before. I had a long journey to SM... it took me two years to be raised to Accepted (again, on my birthday- seems to be a theme!), and another two years to be raised to Aes Sedai. I had to take a few extended-LoAs, but every time I couldn't help but coming back because I loved the community and family I found within my Ajah and the site as a whole.

I'm currently a full-time student for another five weeks, when I will be receiving my Bachelors in Accounting and Accounting Information Systems. I work part-time for the Department of Defense right now, and I'll be starting full-time there once I graduate. Eventually I might go on to get my Masters but... we'll approach that at a later date, I think, because I also have to plan a wedding! My fiancé (who I convinced to start reading WoT, of course!) and I are planning our wedding for May 4, 2013- International Star Wars Day. It's all very exciting ^_^

All of it. Almost. On any given day it varies from alternative rock to classical and opera to dance synth stuff to hip hop.

Senior Member Interview

  • Why did you choose Brown?

I am Brown. I know that's a cop-out answer but that's why! I just feel like it’s me.

  • Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?

I would say I'm like the Browns in the books in the sense that I do love books, and I daydream (and talk to myself) all the time! But I'm a lot more outgoing (although I still wouldn't call myself "outgoing") than the book Browns in the sense that I like to get out and have a good time on occasion. Really, I think the way I am most like book Browns is that I love knowledge... whether it's going to an actual class or just browsing Wikipedia for hours, I want to know everything, about everything. I have a thirst for it.

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

Verin!

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

Since about 2001.

  • How did you first get into the series?

My mom got me the Eye of the World, and from then on I was hooked.

  • What do you do in "real life"?

I’m a program analyst. It’s not what I want to do forever. Also I am a coloratura mezzo-soprano on the side!
