I was born in Norrköping, Sweden April 19th 1985, and lived nearby that town for ten years or thereabouts. The summer when I was to begin 4th grade my family moved south, and the summer 2000 we moved again, this time to a small farm.

I go to school roughly about 10km from my home, currently in the middle of my second term in 9th grade, was thru the first term with great grades (well, to be me... I guess it matters on who you are if you think barely passing Gym is 'great'...), and hope to keep them. I dunno if spending all of my time with webcomics helps... But the teachers are really nice, and they kinda understand that I feel lonely, Sometimes, I'm sad and lonely... now when my best friend is no more in the same school. But somehow, the fact that I'm being bullied by just about everyone in 8th grade, and a few guys in 9th and 7th grade seem to have passed them... 'Cuz they're not doing a thing about it that I've noticed...

I used to have a goat, she was really tame and would walk by my heel wherever I went (sorta... sometimes she ran away...). Then, her owners sold her, and I haven't seen her since. They didn't even tell me they were sending her away. Rude bastards... Anyways, so the fact that I had that goat seem to make bullying me a free-for-all activity. As does the fact I have coupla chinchers and is gunna be a breeder. Truth to be told, the friends I talk to most regularly are my 'net pals...

...Among which we find Martin of Minor Reality and Shawn Smith, AKA Kaners, the guest character who is seen pouncing Colone every now and then. Kanita is a nice Texasian, who might be the only one who will ever understand how much I miss my poor goatie. And she's this really great artist, too. Martin, he's a wholly different story. He's taken over the fanart gallery, for one, also being a talented artist, and, well, he's the one who pursued me into doing the less child friendly version of Paladins' Haven... Martin's nice, oh, sure, but one can have a bit too much of the good some times... Or not. ^_^

And then we have the whole BmB Bunch, I adore them all, they're some of the nicest and most welcoming people I know. Nice. I likes. ^_^

Then again, I'm perhaps not like everyone else... One of my most amusing experiences lately was when my class had gone to the library for the afternoon, and I and my three female classmates were sitting at a table with our assignment. Well, my best friend quit after last term, so I don't have anyone whom I'm really close to, or this probably wouldn't have happened. Anyways, it was really hot in there, and when it's hot, I get silly ideas, and well, I get brainwashed enough to go through with them. One of my classmates, Lina (or Leather-Lina, as she's commonly known... And she doesn't like it...), usually can take a fair deal of joking about relationships, so I started flirting with her. Gee, did that startle her or what!? She was, like, yelling at me to stop. (And that in the LIBRARY.) So I did, she can get damn uncomfortable when she wants to, and we continued joking around, my other classmate, Katarina, poking me every time someone over fifty passed by, or nodding to Lina... Then, later on, I started winking at Lina again, and she was really disturbed... Like, "Stop it, Alex! Stop it, I mean it! ALEX!!!". I had fun... Really fun...

Alex's got a teenage crush, or what?

And I did not feel the least uncomfortable flirting with a girl... So what? I still believe in the theory that everyone is bi, just more or less, and leaning over one way or the other... But if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say I fit into the traditional definition of bisexual, even though I never acctually had a relationship or even a crush on a female. Or, well, not that I noticed. I've had few female friends through my years, but instead been much closer to them, so there might be something in there I didn't quite notice. It's not like I ever had any boyfriend, either. Though I had a serious crush on a classmate of mine a while ago. It's cooled a bit since, but I still would gladly date the guy if he'd ask me out. Which he ain't gonna do.

And, before I forget, lemme tell ya this: 'Net love sucks! Oh, yeah, it does. It's not the least fun to sit in front of a screen and wish you were somewhere else, with the person you're currently chatting with. Of course, I'd rather have this than several of the other things I also think suck. Those of you that need to know what I'm on about will know. The rest of you can go on and be happily oblivous like Kiyat. Or something. It's not that I'm ashamed to tell you who I'm on about, but I rather not certain relatives of mine knew. And I'm not sure if they have this URL... You see, my mother thinks that everyone on the 'net are pedophiles... And, well, so I rather not she knew about this... Heh...

Well, that's ONE way of carryin' a cheeya around...

But I live on here in the middle of nowhere, cartooning, chatting, riding my horsie and scritching my chinchers. Nothing much going around out here, really... Except for what you do to entertain yourself. That's what I have LaL for... And this new parental advisory/content warning is far better than the old one... Not as serious. But take what it says seriously, and remember I warned you.

Well, I guess that was me. I am not good at writing about myself, though, so we'll see... If you feel that you're missing something here, please tell me, and I'll try and see to it.
