Alyccea Nymaessene
Aes Sedai
Hi everyone!
I've been back on the boards (and in chat, of course) for a couple of weeks now (following my absence of, oh, 4-5 years?), just sort of testing the waters I guess, and now that I've been back for a while and am fairly sure I'm going to stick around for a while longer, I thought I should probably bite the bullet and actually post a thread here to say as much.
So, hi! For those who don't know me, I'm Alyccea.
For those who do know me... :tackle 
I saw some questions in one of the stickies here, and although I've no doubt answered them before, I thought they could be a good conversation starter...
Who is your favorite character in The Wheel of Time and why? Egwene al'Vere. I just LOVE her chapters. She's such an inspiration, in terms of her attitude and intelligence and serenity despite all of the drama that happens around her. (She is basically the complete opposite of me!
)
How did you find TarValon.Net? Wayyyy back when, I was looking for background information on Lanfear with the intent of writing a fanfic. I never wrote the fanfic (lucky world!) but I did find this place.
What do you do? (student? job? hobbies?) Last time I was here, I was finishing up my Honours degree in Molecular Biology, and then moving to Europe working in tourism and retail in Dublin. Since then, I've moved back to Australia and spent a few years working as a travel agent. I started a Masters in Professional Accounting a couple of years ago, and now I work in financial services while I finish my degree.
I still have no idea what I want to be when (if!) I grow up.
What is your favorite book or author other than Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time? Well lately I've been obsessing over The Hobbit so I'm going to have to say Tolkien... but you know, ask me in a month or two and you'll probably get a different answer.

If you like Tolkien you must read The Silmarillion (if you haven't yet 
)
joy:joy
