Ummmm, hi.

Well to get it out of the way, my (pen)name is Alex. I'm an eighteen year old aspiring musician/writer, and full time geek(seriously, I'm a raging band/Sci-fi nerd and I work at Gamestop.)

What do I mean by aspiring musician?

Well I play a couple of instruments, they are as follows

Drums(Intermediate-Easy Adv.)
Guitar(Novice)
Piano(Beginner)
Flute(Beginner)
Bass(Who am I kidding, I just mess around on a friends and press down random frets )

Music is a part of my daily life, I wake up to it, and I go to sleep to it. I don't discriminate against Genres, though I dislike certain artists.

As for the writing, I have written a couple of short stories, some WoW and Silent Hill fan-fiction(I make a point to never use canon characters unless I absolutely have to) and me and my cousin have been basically co-writing a massive story where we've mashed every possible geek thing together, WoW? Done it. Naruto? Done it, and so on and so forth.

Currently I am working on a trilogy of full novels, the entire series being called 'The Catalyst'. While I only started actually writing it last year, it has been my little pet idea since I was five(there's a story behind that but it is a tl;dr situation)

As for my personal life, I am a fairly open Bisexual(though I've never had a boyfriend , too many straight guys at my school. :p) I also have insomnia, and most of my family seem to think I'm autistic >_>


Well, I guess that's all you need to know about me.

Oh I almost forgot:

WARNING: MAY TROLL WHEN REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BORED.

Thank you all.




Well I never like to narrow down what I like best, to me favorite just happens to be what I listening to the most lately. To answer that question before I asked, in addition to the three bands in my sig, I have also been listening to a lot of classical lately, mostly Beethoven, Wagner, and Grieg.

As for what the Catalyst is about, wellllll, the simplest way I can put it is that it's a mostly soft sci-fi/noir piece, with elements of epic romance, mystery, and fantasy(three words; guns, magic, Gotham City circa Animated Batman/Bat Begins esque cities), about three heroes who face their. own personal demons, and a crazed madman hell-bent on destroying the world.


Sorry for the vagueness, I'm just too tired to give a full explanation
