I'm an avid reader. I believe in keeping the mind sharp through reading. I'm currently reading ''Dark Force Rising'' by Timothy Zahn. As with my movies and video games, I tend to lean on sci-fi and horror books. I'm pretty exclusively nerdy, so don't expect to see me in any threads about Victorian-era romances... Although, I'm not totally allergic to other genres. :) I try to keep an open mind where my entertainment is concerned, but my attention tends to wane with genres I don't especially like. If you really want to connect with me, talk sci-fi. I've been on an especially potent ''Star Wars'' kick lately.

Hi! I'm Alma, otherwise known as Jordie. (Just call me Alma.) I'm a 20-year-old woman living in Perth, Western Australia. It's my goal in life to become a published science fiction author. I'm working on a novel I'm calling ''Dark Galaxy: The Quantum Demons'', currently at about 135 pages in length and progressing VERY slowly. Expect to see me filling up the forums with inane questions about astronomy and astrobiology. :):)

I'm a gamer since early childhood and a fan of too many games to list. I love everything Valve has ever made, but then, who doesn't? I mostly play shooters (''Halo'', ''F.E.A.R.'', ''Half-Life'') and RPGs (''Fallout 3/New Vegas'', ''Skyrim'', ''Mass Effect''). I don't play online much out of an intense dislike for the kinds of people who populate online servers, but if you would like to play with me sometime and share some good old-fashioned zombie/mutant abomination-killing fun, you'll usually find me amenable. Add '''jeuring''' on Steam to get the ball rolling. Until recently, I was a member of the F.E.A.R. Fans forum, which is the source of my user name--I once had black hair, and friends of mine from the F.E.A.R. fandom said I looked like Alma.

I'm an avid reader. I believe in keeping the mind sharp through reading. I'm currently reading ''Dark Force Rising'' by Timothy Zahn. As with my movies and video games, I tend to lean on sci-fi and horror books. I'm pretty exclusively nerdy, so don't expect to see me in any threads about Victorian-era romances... Although, I'm not totally allergic to other genres. :) I try to keep an open mind where my entertainment is concerned, but my attention tends to wane with genres I don't especially like.
