New Geeks on the Block / New here
« on: June 29, 2008, 02:12:03 AM »
Heya everyone.
My name is Alexandra, I'm 20 years old and I live in Reykjavík, Iceland. I found this forum when I was googling some sort of place for geeks to hang out, and I've looked around a little. Like it, so I figured I'd join in on the fun!
I'm currently finishing what's called college here in Iceland before I move on to University, which will be in January of next year. I'll be studying history and religion, topics that are extremely interesting to me.
I'm a computer geek, and I work for an telephone/internet service company here in Iceland. Most of my time I spend selling internet service and upgrades to people, some of my time I spend answering unbelievably stupid questions when people call in for help.. Last week I had a guy call whose internet connection was down. I advised him to restart his router, then he said "What is a router?". I was dangerously close to laughing my ass off.
Most of my time I spend playing computer games, I like MMORPGs, FPS and RTS games, so basically, I like a LOT of games. These days, I'm trying out Age of Conan (like it so far), waiting for Diablo III to come out, playing good old stuff like Warcraft III, Quake, etc. I did play WoW for a while, but got incredibly sick of it, but if I know myself, I'll be renewing my gamecard once The Wrath of The Lich King (expansion) comes out, just to try it out.
Hmm let me see, let me see. I also spend my days watching movies and shows, I'm a big movie fan and like a lot of different movies. TV shows that I like include the typical; Family Guy, Drawn Together, South Park, Venture Bros, Battlestar Galactica, etc. My absolute favourite TV show of all time though is Star Trek, and I love the Originals. I'm also an "in-the-closet" reality tv addict (but don't tell anyone!).
I can't really think of anything else to say, so.. If there are any questions, I'll answer them
Edit:
Oh, forgot. I also love music. I have a very wide taste, but for the most part it's some sort of metal that I'll be listening to.
My favourite bands include Pink Floyd, Tool, Opeth, Nine Inch Nails, and more.
Also, I'm interested in photography and take some shots now and then, you can check them out at http://www.alexandradilja.deviantart.com .
And one last thing, if anyone is on LiveJournal, mine is http://geeky-alex.livejournal.com .
Edit, again (!):
Also, I love pen&paper RP games, and I play D&D regularly. Also, I tab browse in an extreme way. I don't know why, but that just came to mind.
