Semi-new!

[megalomax]

Been reading the books ever since I discovered the 3rd book in '96 as a wee kid of 8 years old. And I was hooked and got every book released and even begged my aunts and uncles to give each new book to me as birthday/Christmas gifts. 

 

Sadly, I had to leave the books behind when I migrated to another country. Somehow, my mother donated them to her pastor's booksale fundraiser and found out too late. I still hurt thinking about it. Buying the ebooks and latest releases just don't have the same feel. Oh well. 

 

Been a lurker to this site since 2013. Happy to see the TV series has sparked the interest of people and seeing new fans! 

 

PS, yes I'm gay and would like to be the gae'sedai hahaha

LoL ... well come on over to the White Tower and Warders, and we can help you achieve that goal (as have a few others before you)!

Come to the Tower to become an Aes Sedai!

 

I bought some of my books at thrift stores and used book stores.

Welcome!!!

 

Come join us in the White Tower 😄

 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Welcome to DM, nice to have you around. 

 

I moved country, too, and lost a lot of my books, with no real way of transporting them without paying way more than it would probably take to replace them, I told my Dad he could take them to a charity shop. Hopefully someone out there is enjoying them and the charity got something for them.

 

Check out the White Tower, it is quite something. Even if they like throwing Novices in slimy places, and expect you to work your fingers to the bone for them without a word of thanks. But you will meet a lot of fun people there and @Dead Warder.

Do you think we have scared @megalomax enough by hijacking his thread, Mother? Or should we crank it up a notch?

[Delenn]

Oh I hope not! I was looking forward to someone else to swim with Bob and I…..

Yank that crank ... it's our way of showing affection. Or boredom. Or both.

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

I am torn, to the very fabric of my soul. The Creator's hand shelter me. 

 

The Amyrlin Seat just told me to yank the crank. What? I mean, is this the best day of my life or the worst? How am I meant to cope with this? I'm only flesh and blood.

 

And on the other hand, I would always say there is always another notch to crank it up. Always. 

 

But that was before Mother told me to yank the crank. I don't think there is a notch after that. The amps are already at eleven. This Novice has nothing left in her his belt pouch.

 

On a completely and utterly unrelated point, does any one have any hand cream? This sudden cold weather has left my hands feeling rather dry....

Haha hello and thank you everyone. 

 

I do plan to build up my collection again once I'm done with getting my nursing license. 

 

Been a nurse for 15 years in my country. But Canada wants to put me through the hoops to get licensed here.

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Well, good luck with that. And Canadians always seemed so nice.

Where are you originally from, if you don't mind me asking?

(I'm from South Africa.)
