[oanja]

Took this from tumblr, so not mine but fire_head's



Day 1: How did you get into the series? How long have you been reading them for?
Picked out the first book from my local library. Totally random, I didn't know anything about the series, just that I loved fantasy books and the back-cover made it sound interesting

Day 2: How many times have you read through the series? If you’ve not finished it, which book are you on?
At least three times, and I have read some of the books more than five times

Day 3: Which are your favourite & least favourite books in the series?
I think my favourite is the Shadow Rising or Winter's Heart
Least favourite... hmm, the one where we have to endlessly read about Perring angsting about Faile

Day 4: Who are your favourite & least favourite characters in the series?
Rand if definitely my favourite and then Nynaeve
Least favourite Egwene, Perrin & Faile (Perrin is okay when not with her) also Mat a lot of the time

Day 5: Which character in the series do you most identify with?
I don't really identify with book characters at all

Day 6: How has Wheel of Time effected your daily life?
Taken a lot of my money and time? What does this question even mean? Oh and it was the first fandom where I lurked. There was this site where fans speculated about what certain plot points meant and wrote theories about what was going to happen etc.

Day 7: If you were an Aes Sedai, which Ajah would you belong to?
I don't really know, brown maybe

Day 8: Which moments have made you laugh out loud? Top 5
I don't think the books are that funny... Or I just don't remember the funny bits but:
1) Mat trying to explain his philosophy about boots to Setalle
2) the boys thinking that the other two are much more smooth with women.
3)... yeah I give up

Day 9: Which moment have left you speechless/in tears? Top 5
1) Rand almost killing his dad & his epiphany
2) Moiraine's 'death'
3) When Rand et al thought Thom had dies
4) The battle/cleansing of Saidin
5) When Rand was being held captive in the box

Day 10: How did you react when you found out about the death of Robert Jordan?
I was really sad and worried that the series would never be finished

Day 11: Which story lines within the series was your favourite and least favourite?
Rand's story (especially the Aiel part) is my favourite
Perrin since he met Faile (least favourite) also Egwene's Aes Sedai mess

Day 12: Which one character do you wish you could balefire out of the series?
I don't know, Moridin? That would help the plot.

Day 13: Scariest member of the Forsaken
They don't really seem that scary

Day 14: Favourite quote from the series.
I don't remember quotes by heart! What do you expect from me? Or well maybe: 'blood and bloody ashes'

Day 15: Who is your favourite pairing from within the series?
Rand/Min, I kind of wish it was that simple

Day 16: Dream cast for Ta’Veren
No idea at all I don't really picture characters in my head beyond of what the author says... but Tom Hiddleston might be a good Mat, except too tall

Day 17: Top 5 scenes to see in a film
Hmm, the battles would look pretty epic, but the magis not so much, as you can't actually see the weaves unless you can channel
But the first two books might work pretty well on film

Day 18: Travel the Ways or spend the night in Shadar Logoth?
travel the ways, I think that's a better bet

Day 19: Which characters in WoT would have been most annyoing to babysit at age 8?
Nynaeve and Mat

Day 20: A character you like, but most people don’t.
Cadsuane

Day 21: A character you don’t like, but most people do.
Mat & Egwene

Day 22: Favourite swear word.
Blood and bloody ashes

Day 23: Best friendship.
Mat & Birgitte

Day 24: Opinion of Bela and of Narg?
Both pretty over-rated

Day 25: Best ending of a book
Winter's Heart

Day 26: Pick two WoT character you’d want with you during the zombie apocalypse.
Rand & Mat

Day 27: You have one night Tel’aran’rhiod, what are you going to do?
Fly. poke around different parts of the world

Day 28: What three questions would you ask the Aelfinn? And what three favours do you ask of the Eelfinn?
I wouldn't go to either in the first place

Day 29: Out of all the places left unvisited by the books, where would you would like to have seen?
Shara maybe

Day 30: What is your theory about how it’s all going to end.
No idea to be honest. But I hope Egwene will get down her high horse and actually help Rand. And none of the main characters are going to die (permanently) and maybe Rand will take Mat to talk to Fortuona and make some kind of truce with them. Aviendha will somehow divert the future she saw in Rhuidean. Stuff will happen, epic battles, Rand will seal the bore again. Main characters will get happy endings.

And now I've killed some time. I'll see The Avengers in an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \0/

Will you go to see the 3D? I'm waiting for the 2D, cause at least the last time I checked they only had the 3D showings in Turku. Waaah, I hope it's awesome! ^_^

Yeah I went to 3D and it sucked, but the movie itself was awesome. I just wish they would stop converting normal movies into 3D in post-production, because it always ends up looking awful D= But it's definitely worth watching anyway. ^_^

[messy-kisses.livejournal.com]

Yes, I haven't seen any good 3D movies. >_< Not even animations.

Yay for movie being awesome! I wanna go see it nooooowwwwww~~ Actually, I just watched The Adevntures of Tintin but it was a poor substitute.
