Hi, Hello, and How Goes It.
Posted: April 11th, 2016, 2:28 am
I'm new, obviously, so Hello!.
My name is Kenneth, but I go by KC as well. I'm really excited to be here. I found the site a few months ago, through the magic of Google and have been lurking sort of. Really more of wanting to join but knowing that I had too much work with finishing my MSW program, but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (May 15th is my graduating date!).
I have been reading WoT since the late 1990s. My librarian at my high school introduced me to the series after she saw how much I loved The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley (she gifted me with that book for graduation). I fell in love with the series and have been a serious fan ever since. Egwene is probably my favorite character, with Androl running a close second. Perrin is probably my least favorite character, I don't personally deal well with self-doubters. I'm currently reading the series for the fifth time with a youth book club I started called Worlds Beyond whose purpose is to introduced African American youth to the High Fantasy genre.
Personally I have always thought I was meant to be Aes Sedai, in my own head I'm like the epitome of royalty. Oddly enough though, Ursula (yes from The Little Mermaid) is one of my role models. Did I mention I am incredibly eccentric? Anyway back to Aes Sedai, I've always felt I was Blue, because I am a Social Worker who works in Public and Mental Health. I deal with the intersection of substance abuse and HIV transmission. But over time I realized I'm really more Gray. Although I am a Social Worker, I am Macro level, I don't do a lot of direct interaction, but I deal with policy creation and implementation, lobbying, etc. I can talk my way through anything, and I have always loved wordplay. So Gray suits me a lot better.
On a more mundane level I love to travel, I love animals, barring our scaled and/or more than four legged friends. I like music of all sorts, enjoy cooking, writing, reading and a little gardening. I'm not a big gamer but I do have a ps4, for like Final Fantasy or a Tales game, though I have yet to beat one, patience is not a gift I possess. I also have a bunch of Magic the Gathering cards I have been collecting over the years, but I have no idea how to play and no one to teach me. I just like the pictures and little blurbs on some of them. I live in Raleigh North Carolina, born in Kaiserslautern, Germany and I work in Durham, NC. I'm an 80's baby Capricorn and that's about it I think.
