Well Hello! I had a little trouble thinking about what to write, so I am taking a page out of Conlar Dardarianos book and stealing from the New- need help forum topic.

I only started reading the books in.. November or December, and despite school and work getting in the way I now only have a memory of light left to finish! So no spoilers!

1. Favorite WoT character and why?
At first it was Rand, but as the series progressed the two people I couldn't stand at all in the beginning, Mat and Nynaeve, are now by far my favorites. Both experienced the most change and growth. I would not consider either of them completely like me. I do share a lot with Mat, like the crazy good/bad luck, lots of odd experience, and great weapon skills out of no where, but no womanizing. I'm thinking on this, and Ill have to get back to what character I am most like once I finish Memory of Light

2. How did you find us?
Hmm... I was looking at either Dragonmount or at the Wheel of Time MUD when I saw the link here. I signed up here first, I still have not done anything at Dragonmount, and still can't get the MUD to work...

3. What do you do (student, job, etc)?
I have held many jobs and have a crazy range of experiences, while I am in school i work at a movie theater. I go to school for Earth Science, and am torn between Geology and Paleontology for my further education.

4. Favorite book/author (other than WoT)?
Hmmm.. The Forever Hero by LE Moddesit Young boy grows up with special powers saves the planet... (seem familiar?) I generally read more Sci Fi than fantasy, fantasy done well is marvelous, like WoT, or Symphony of Ages, but its really easy to mess up. Sci fi has a better average run of the mill track record...

5. Anything you need help with?
The rent? :P

On a funny note, I was nicknamed "The Dragon", and "The Dragon Reborn" for my awesomness in an online nation simulation game I played years back. Completely unrelated to WoT and I had never heard of it then :D

Welcome to Tar Valon! I don't think the MUD works anymore... I tried everything I could think of and it still won't work for me either. :( That being said, I'd go for palaeontology! But then again, I wanted to be a Palaeontologist when I was 5 so I'm a tad biased :P I was also the only 5 year old I knew who knew what that word was...

Welcome to the middle of our April Fool's and Bel Tine celebrations!

As soon as Bel Tine is over, you will see a lot of changes. For instance, this isn't my real face. Brandegoris, however, is a slacker. :( It's ok, though, we love him any way.

In the mean time, enjoy the fun!

I look forward to seeing you around and getting to know you better. :D

First: WoTMud is still up and around?

Second:
I am absolutely fascinated by Geology. Even though I haven't chosen to pursue a career path in that field, I have taken every single geology course my local community college has, as well as the one or two geology-oriented science classes that the art school I went to offered. I am in love with the Earth, and think the way it works is absolutely fabulous.

I just might have to pick your brain sometime for the fun of it. :joy

Last but not least:

Ah, working your way through school at movie theatres. I remember it well. I worked for National Theatres, which became Regal, and for a little twin, which used to be an old Vaudeville house.

Heh, Ill be glad to chat some time about paleontology and geology, I often go on fossil hunting trips in the Chicago area (usa) So if anyone ever wants a little guidance, I can show you how to spot fossils! (Shells and such are easy, no dinosaurs!)

I downloaded a program that starts the WoT MUD and I get the intro page, but can't type anything in for my name... so I cant go farther than that yet...

Ithilluin : Im at Regal right now myself...
