About Me

I'm alexa. I conquer things.
I'm fiercely loyal to the people I love;
on the flip side, I can be cold, detached and heartless.
I seek independence and companionship - or even independence through companionship.
I'm not down with hate, dishonesty, disrespect or intolerance (I make a special exception for black metal, of course).
I am an épée fencer. my comrades at the fencing center of alaska are my second family and my partners in crime, denali poker, getting zoopa'd, dressing up like pirates, putting some amaretto on it, seattle tournaments and road trips that never end.
tournaments:
2007: Alaska State Championships 5/26-5/27
2007: For The Experience Tournament 6/9-6/10
2007: Leon Auriol Open 9/22-9/23
2007: October Foil & Epee 10/13-10/14
2007: AK Division Junior Olympic Qualifiers 11/3-11/4
2007: 2 Weeks of Turkey Epee Open 12/08
2007: Home for Christmas Tournament 12/29-12/30
2008: BATTLE IN SEATTLE 1/11-1/13
2008: Work Off The Love Tournament 2/16-2/17
2008: AK Division Summer National Qualifiers 4/4-4/6
2008: FCA Epee Fest 5/31-6/1
2008: FCA C & Under Open 8/9-8/10
I also play the flute;
I pirate ridiculous amounts of music;
I'm the original Korupture wench;
I sing, dance and act;
I may love metal, but I also have a weakness for pretentious indie rock;
I'm in a very happy relationship and this Valkyrie is going to carry her warrior to Valhalla;
I'm always up front with one foot on the stage when korupture plays;
I speak spanish and just a little tiny bit of swedish;
I love Seattle;
I like driving around aimlessly, getting lost and exploring;
I love going out to dinner with friends;
I drink a lot of tea;
I write for Perfect World and AKMAgazine;
I'm always arguing about politics;
I'm spontaneous, open and prone to experimentation;
I'm really flexible;
I fail at remembering dates (no seriously, I forget my own birthday);
I always put way too much pressure on myself;
I'm fiercely independent;
I'm maternal and affectionate;
I ski and play soccer and volleyball occasionally;
I love to write and have a very strong, academic voice;
The Anchorage music scene has changed my life.
^ I love these guys! ^
almost every weekend I can be found at a local metal show supporting our amazing musicians in the anchorage scene. Bean and I are Korupture's wenches (although I'm also an official Bludfist wench) and each half of Into the Dead Sea's #1 groupie. mess with our boys and we'll choke-a-bitch.
they're truly incredible musicians, so give them a listen:
support your local scene!

sometimes, I just dont know what to do with myself.

I'm writing this blog because I'm currently so damned frustrated. It sounds weird, because technically speaking life is going great. In April, I was stuck staring at a tightly closed rosebud, anxious...

its a conspiracy!

Everyone is familiar with the sensation of being left "out of the loop," feeling that there’s more to a chain of events than meets the eye, suspecting that someone is withholding information fro...
