Well, hello there. I am what I believe you would call "fresh meat."

I don't join forums very often. Buuuuut I was convinced (read: nagged, her words, not mine) by my dear, lovely, Lydia Martin. I am also new to the Wheel of Time series as a whole - I've never read the books before, though I have been interested in doing so, and I finally remembered that I could read them for free (yay!) by being an Amazon Prime member. I'm not as fast a reader as I used to be, so I'm slowly, very slowly - really, it's a snail's pace - making my way through The Eye of the World. Kindle says I have 24 hours and 30 minutes left in the book... I'm at 3%. I haven't quite decided on a favorite character yet, but my friend believes that I could be very fond of Egwene. And so far, I'm very interested in finding out more about this world.

My reality is that I'm single, newly 32, I have a Starbucks addiction, I work a thankless, occasionally revolting job at a certain shall-not-be-named Big Box Store, and my only escapes are often writing (with Lydia), reading (also with Lydia) and playing World of Warcraft (when my internet/platform feels like cooperating, also coincidentally, with Lydia). Music holds high esteem in my life. I like cooking when I can, I'm learning how to knit and crochet very badly, I have a habit of abusing commas, I intentionally abuse 'lol', and, looking back at this post... apparently I abuse parentheses, dashes and ellipses as well. Ha. Haha.

For anyone curious about my username, Allison Argent is my spirit animal.

Thank you all for having me here :)

I can say that I am easily mashed into the abuse of commas, I tend to use them often and without mercy. If I am remembering correcty about Lydia, can I ask if you are also in Indiana? Have fun and if you need anything ask!

I feel you on the Starbucks addiction. :laugh: What's your poison of choice?

Welcome to the site! It's a pleasure to have you here. The books can be a little daunting, but there's no rush! If you rush, you might miss something (a lesson I learned the hard way :giggle ). I too am an abuser of parenthesis and ellipses, but they're my favorite formatting tools.

I am far too used to social media, I keep trying to look for a heart or a thumbs up to press. Sadly, I am not in Indiana, but I'm close! I am an Ohio transplant in Michigan :) Thank you!

I hate it when I miss things! I'm doing my very best to read every word because I don't want to be *that person* that just... skims.

Current Sbux poison of choice might be the Pink drink, but I usually fall back on anything caramel. Formerly a soy milk drinker, I tend to ask for almond milk now. Less of a tangy taste, I think.

A fellow formatting abuser! Thank the gods I'm not the only one :D
