Hi All,

I have never joined a site like this before...but I've always wanted to. Anywho I wanted to say, "Hello". I'm quite tired so this isn't what it could be or should be as an introduction. Also, I would ahve come up with a more clever name if I had realized my actual handle would end up being "soviet"...not very WOT. A little background info, I'm 37 years old and I double majored in Political Science and History. I am employed by a large telecomminucations as an Intraday Analyst, and I'm back in school for another degree in Database Administration. I enjoy traveling as much as possible, and spent a year abroad at uni in London. My older brother lives in Leeds, UK and my younger brother in Germany. I live just outside of Washington, DC.

As my bio says I was 15 when the first Wheel Of Time book was released and it was the one fantasy series I allowed myself to continue with no matter what. I've become a bit more liberal in my reading habits again since I don't have to devote as much time to my studies any longer. I still haven't completed "A Memory Of Light" (what a terrific name for a final book...fills me with sadness for all the characters I've come to love). I decided to re-read the series before completing "A Memory Of Light".

Cheers...I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Welcome to Tar Valon! :D

I'm also in the middle of a pre-AMoL reread; I couldn't NOT do a reread, with the end being so final... :)

Don't worry too much on the handle; if you email the membership director, it can be changed. :)

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

Welcome!!! :clap Like Elorenya said, your username can be changed pretty easily, since you're a newbie. ;)

Wow, so many responses. I certainly wasn't expecting such a welcome! Thank you all so much! I'm super busy during the day, so typically late at night is all the time I have. I just visited my brother in Germany a few months ago. He married his fiance of 10 years...long time! I will probably go back in autumn to visit again, and hopefully stop through Leeds on the way.

@ Arecias Dezell - I'm not sure how to PM you, otherwise I would. There doesn't appear to be an option when I click on your name.
