Hi there! So I iffed and ahh'd about posting this for some time. I finally decided too.
I'm Alexandra (or Alex, I'm not fussed) and while I have been on IJ for a number of years I've mostly been in the roleplay community and as I ease out of RP I'd love to get to know some of the other people on here. The ones I do know are awesome though :D
About me?
I'm Australian, born on September 13 and am the oldest of three children and only girl. I am currently studying Bachelor of Business in Information and Knowledge Management at RMIT University before going into work in either a Library or Archives. I currently work as a casual in my local library where I have been since 2006, though I started out as a Student Shelver there. I also have Certificate III in Multimedia though I eventually plan on going back and finishing my Diploma in it at some point. I would also love to do an IT degree at some time.
I have been in fandom since 2003, starting out in Star Wars before branching out into Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Star Trek among others. I have written fanfiction and original stories which can be found around the web as well as graphics namely icons but also a few backgrounds, mood themes etc. I have roleplayed since September 2008 on Insanejournal though I briefly touched it previously on Livejournal and Yahoo Groups but nothing much came from it.
I'm also addicted to music and have a last.fm account. I'll listen to just about anything though my favourites are The Corrs, Matchbox 20, My Chemical Romance, Texas, Dash & Will, Kieran Strange, Tom Felton, Team Unicorn and Katy Perry.
As well as music I love reading, writing, history, cosplaying and other geeky things :)
