Hahloo All,
I'm not really all that good with introductions but here I go... I hope.
I'm Alter Insatiable, or Alter, or A.I. or Ai. i can be called anything you wish to.
I've been a furry for about three and a half years but have been kind of quiet in the fandom because of being kind of shy and not really having much means of being involved other than meeting a few people here and there randomly on video games or Furcadia. I've always really wanted to do something related to the fandom regularly other than sneak on Furcadia at two A.M. because sadly I still live under my mother's roof, and she would probably not approve of the fandom or get a misleading google result. Thus, to post I'll most likely be using my iPod touch when i have internet connection rather than on the computer because she likes to pop in on me and ask to see what I'm doing on the computer. Luckily to get started here this weekend I've had the fortune of her going a few states away with friends for a few days.
Now on to more about me specifically.
I'm a novelist/poet/actor/musician/polyglot from suburban New York, still attending high school. I have a passion for writing like no other and can seldom be found without a pen and a notebook. My work is not well known outside of the community besides the local student literary magazine (Which I have been published in three times) which seems to make it's way into the surrounding communities. My current goal is a novel and have about a third of it done, working with a published writer/musician to finish it. My favorite genre of writing is fantasy, but I am terrible at writing it, so I tend to take the road of realistic fiction. My favorite books include: The Man Who Turned Into Himself, Boy Meets Boy, Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath, Macbeth, The Catcher in the Rye, Wicked, Of Mice And Men, and East of Eden.
I began acting this year after taking a philosophy class that told me to break down my boundaries and do something I've always been afraid to do. Since then I have been involved in the original productions of two yet to be published one act plays: 'What's Your Damage, Callie Mallory' as Mather, the single father who decides to get surgery (censored to just gender confusion) and raise a sixteen year old rock/pop princess with her own TV show, and 'Hold Me Now' where I played Jeb, the boy who just wants to love and wants to tell her that he wants to be with her, and through a strange slew of events on Thanksgiving realizes this, all thanks to a kindly stranger. Known productions I have been in include only one: Stephan Sondheim's Into The Woods as the Steward to Prince Charming. I have discovered a passion for acting after watching musicals and plays for so many years.
Another passion of mine is Music. I'm most likely found listening to music, whether in class or not, and almost always Metal, Post Hardcore, The Classics (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel) or... Show tunes! Hehe. I play the bass guitar and sing lead vocals for the local band Martyrdom, a new on the scene metal band. I go to concerts in NYC almost all of the time too.
Besides the arts I love to learn language (polyglot: someone who speaks many languages). Currently I know English (Duh) I am mostly proficient in Italian and Chinese. I am looking to start German soon, along with Korean to add to the many languages I know, just as a hobby.
I play a lot of videogames too, I'm not just some crazy arts fur. I play a lot of MMORPGs on the computer, but having limited access lately I have begun to regress to my gamecube with Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Adventure DX, Super Mario Sunshine, you know, the good games of yesteryear, oh and Poke'mon. The game that has been the object of my worship since my catching of the original airing in America of the first episode. Besides videogames I can also be a bit of an Anime nerd, probably a lot due to my love for foreign languages.
I also am a player of Magic the Gathering in NY, often going to Friday Night Magic events, PTQs (Pro Tour Qualifiers) and States Championships. For those of you who don't know, it's a nerdy teen's card game.
I hope I can be welcome here, I'm up to RP if anyone wants to read my clothing list and description or wants a back-story I can give that. I hope to make many friends here if possible and I hope I have not bored anyone with my annoyingly long life story here.
(Oh and if anyone wanted to know how I found this, one of my friends was raving about IMVU so I googled 'IMVU' with 'Furry' and this website came up. Heh.)
Thank you for putting up with me so far,
~Alter Insatiable
