Hello Donal! I found my avatar on DeviantArt and messaged the creator for permission to use it. :)

Welcome Donal!! I know we have a few people here from BC, but I think most of them are on the mainland. I could be wrong though :)

Glad you found your way to us :)

Welcome to Tar Valon! What province are you from? There's a large Canadian population around here. :)
I'm in Victoria, B.C. Normally I'd say we get the best weather in the country here, but right now it's snowing.. brrrr.

It's great to have you here with us, Donal!

Did you see the TV show and what do you think about it? :D

We are also doing a site wide reread, currently on Fires of Heaven, but feel free to join us if you want! :pleased-1:

Ah I did watch it... honestly I'm disappointed. I feel most the characters aren't portrayed faithfully. I understand some plot/story lines change in screen adaptions but I think that was taken too far. However I'm thrilled that it's drawing more people to read the books, and who knows, maybe the second season will be better.

I would like to join in the re-read, I should catch up soon. How does the discussion for that work?

Hello and welcome! There are many things I could respond to, but let’s get right to the important part: BARBELLS. I’m a powerlifter, so I’m super excited that another strength athlete has come to town!!

Awesome! I do enjoy my rare bench press days, and I even pull the odd convential DL on occasion.

Hello, Donal!

I also spent a good bit of time fretting over my name, and I eventually picked a first name relatively close to part of my real-world name. I saw upthread that you mentioned avatars. I made mine on an avatar-maker website whose name I've now forgotten. If I can recall, and if it's not already listed somewhere, I'll bounce back over here and add the link.

Welcome to the community, Donal! :pleased-1: It's great to have you here, I hope to see you around some more. I can definitely empathise with the struggle to find a proper name and avatar - I used to have an entirely different name and avatar back when I first joined... I honestly feel like female-looking avatars are easier to find than anything else, too. :laugh: But I hope you have some luck finding what you like, I think it'll be worth the effort of combing through to find it.

Do you have any more questions for us so far?

Hi Morgana, that's a good question as there's so many genres under electronic music isn't there? I'm a fan of trance, house, progressive trance/house, uplifting, deep house, chill, downtempo and probably a few more I can't recall or don't know what they're called. There's a couple labels that I follow and listen to mainly, otherwise I find I can't keep up with all the new music that comes out.

Do you have any favorite DJ's or labels you follow?

Welcome to Tar Valon, Donal! I'm still relatively new here myself, but I can tell you it's a lovely place to be!

As for avatars, I know many people have pointed out resources for you already, but I'd like to offer up my own as well. I made my own avatar with a little app (that's still in beta) called Portrait Workshop. If you like the style, I'd be happy to make you one as well. Just send me the particulars of what you'd like it to look like!

When you say you have a music hobby, do you mean creating/performing or just listening? I'm asking because there seems to be a good clutch of musicians on here; I'm a trombonist and military musician myself. Fist-bumps for the history and astronomy; I love those things as well! Looking forward to seeing you around the Tower!
Hey Laurien, thanks for the greeting and the avatar offer. I'll message you if I decide to take up your kind offer.

My music hobby is currently only listening, collecting and attending the odd show, though it has been a while. I'd like to learn an instrument and learn electronic music production but alas, I don't have enough time on my hands right now for either. How long have you played for?
