I'm Alex, an aspiring video game designer. My favorite games are The World Ends with You, Morrowind, 999, and Chrono Trigger. I also enjoy El Goonish Shive, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal and XKCD. I've started watching anime recently, such as Death Note and Gurren Lagann.

I'm also in the process of trying to overcome my introversion and meet a girl I kno- err, want to know. Grace's her name.

Naturally I have troped myself:

• Asperger Syndrome
• Betty and Veronica: Grace and Madeline. Grace and Erin, for the first 3/4 of the year.
• Badass: Ian.
• Bi the Way
• Brainy Brunette: Grace.
• Butt Monkey: Much to my dismay. Subverted, as I've become more respected over time.
• Catch Phrase: I phase through these.
• Cloudcuckoolander: See Butt Monkey.
• Chekov's Gun: I wrote a note in February about fighting for what you believe in, and kept it in my pocket for a few months. In May, I read it again when I was feeling nervous.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: I feel one of these whenever I make a cool mechanic in a video game.
• Does Not Like People
