Lyara Tieran, Senior Member Interview, July 8, 2009
- What is your Tower name?
Lyara Tieran
- When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the White Ajah?
On February 29th, 2008. I can't believe I had to look that up. :blink
- Why did you choose White?
From the moment I set e-foot into the White halls, I knew I was home. Everything fit. I was comfortable posting, I didn't have to work to be "one of the girls", I had something to contribute and could take something away as well. I just knew it was where I belonged. Oddly enough, I thought it would be the one place I DIDN'T belong, so I guested there first. :p I still tried all the others, but came back to my heart's-home.
- Are you like the Whites in the Books?
Sometimes, yes. I can be completely logical in my search for cause. I am also VERY calm in stressful situations. But in most ways, no. I let my emotions play a HUGE part in what I do and how I react to things. I feel before I think and act on my feelings a lot. And it can get me into trouble..... like catching crazy people who jump off the top of beds at work when they think I'm trying to kidnap them.
- Are you like a rock and have a serene face all the time?
Not at all. Actually, I'm usually smiling like an idiot. :D I love to smile and make people happy by doing it. Serenity is good, don't get me wrong, but happiness is better.
- How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
Oh wow!! It was the greatest. I spent as much time on here as I did doing anything else. I made great friends whom I still speak to all the time, I pulled a couple of great pranks, I started some good threads, and I found my calling in being on the OEC team..... of which I'm now the Coordinator. :)
- How long have you been a member of TV.net?
I joined on November 23rd, 2006. So just under 3 years. :D
- What things do you do for TV.net?
Well, I'm the Online Events Coordinator, as I said earlier. I'm also the Heart of the White ajah at this time, although that will be rotating through soon. I also serve as a moderator for several threads in my site position. I've done some graphics, some writing, and some goofing off. :D I hope they all added to the site some. :)
- How did you get to read the Series?
I went through every other book in the library of the little town I grew up in and the Librarian handed me the first book and said "This should keep you busy for a while". It was in 1993, so the first four books were out and the 5th was on it's way..... Of course, she was wrong. I read the first four in a little over a week and came and asked where her next challenge for me was. lol
- To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
No bond at this time. :(
- Who is your mentee, if you have one?
My most recent Mentee was Slaine. I haven't gotten another yet. Slaine's a hard act to follow. :p
- Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
I'd have to say Nyanaeve. She's a LOT like me... and yet so different it's amazing. :) I love the Aiel....
- Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?)
No, not a big one anyway. I met up with Serenla, Cassie (my mentor), Khisanth and Lyinar in Atlanta while I was down there as an accepted, and then had a small local gathering at my house, too. I've also met a couple other people, most notably my best friend Tsubasa, who came and stayed with me. :D
- What kind of music do you like?
I listen to pretty much anything.... depends on my mood. I like deeper, richer sounds.
- What are your favorite movies?
Action and sci-fi. The Riddick movies will always be at the top of my list, because I LOVE vin diesel.
- What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
Oh so many..... probably jumping off the top of my 25ft tall deck into........ nothing... just the ground. I nearly broke my feet/legs.
- What job do you have?
I'm a registered nurse in an intensive care unit. All the really sick patients, I help get them better.
- Do you have a pet?
I have two dogs, a cat, and (currently) 5 kittens. I have them all given away already, though.....We have had rabbits, ferrets, snakes, birds, and rats. :D
- What languages do you speak?
English.... and pocito espanol, and a little japanese.
- What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Nuclear physicist and a marine biologist..... still wanna be a marine biologist. :D
- Randland or our world?
In so many ways Randland would be great, but really.... do you wanna live somewhere that a bath/shower ONLY happened about once a month if you were REALLY spoiled?
- Alviarin or Seaine?
Alviarin She's got a bit more cunning to her.
- Books or movies?
I really do prefer books. Lots and LOTS of books......
- Candles or lamps?
I love candles. They give off a more natural light and they don't hurt my eyes.... but I don't like the smoke or the thought that I may burn something impotant..... like maybe..books. :look
- A short bio about yourself.
I am a wife, a mom, a reader, a singer, a sometimes-poet/songwriter, an outdoors enthusiast who is stuck inside, a genius with no common sense, and an animal lover. That just barely skims the top. :D
