What's your name, boy?Alexandrea Young, but most people call me Aly. Or Shieldmaiden. Or "Hey you!" It depends on the circumstances. Oh, and I'm a girl (see next question).
You a boy or a girl?Girl (see question above)
How ooh-old are you?Yeesh, you had to ask, didn't you? I'm going to be 37 in a week, old fogie that I am.
Where you from?I was born and raised in California. In my adult life, I have lived in North Dakota and Minnesota (with brief stints in Texas and Illinois while I was in the Air Force). Then I went back to California. Now I live in Scotland. I've been here since 2001, and I don't think I'll be going back to the States, except to visit.
You got a job, you bum?You're right, I am a bum.
I'm a full time mother.
Married? Dating?I've been married since 2001.
You got kids?Have I got kids, you ask? Wow, have I got kids! Do you want one? You can have one, if you want!
There's my step-son Kyle (15), daughter Desiree (15), daughter Carrie (soon to be 12), and my little nutter of a son, Keiran (3).
How long you been here?Since the 7th of May, 2007
And how'd you find us, anyway?I had just started out with LotR tcg, and I wanted to know more, so I went to Decipher's boards. It didn't seem too lively. Then I spotted a post (I can't remember the poster's name) that was titled something like, "These Boards Are Dead..." and the post itself said, "but these ones aren't." Then the link to Cobra Cards was provided. I clicked it, and the rest is history!
How long you been playing card games?LotR is the first tcg I've ever played, and I started that in May 2007. I collected Young Jedi in 2001, but I never played it. And I sold all of my YJ cards so that I could move to Scotland.
Jeez, I didn't ask for your freakin' life story!Ehm, yes you did!
What else do you do with your time?I love to go geocaching, which is an international hobby. People hide plastic boxes filled with little toys and games and whatnot, then they post the coordinates of the hidden boxes online. Other people go out to find the boxes using their GPS units. It's loads of fun for the family (well, except for teenagers, who think it's boring, lol).
I also like to go horseback riding, but I don't get to do that very often, due to financial reasons (always spending money on cards and kids, lol).
Anything else?I thought you didn't want to hear my life story? lol
Yeah yeah, that's great. Got any pictures to share?I don't have many of myself because I'm usually the one taking the pictures. But here are a few. The first two are me and the wee man while geocaching. The third is all of my kids playing like they're helping a fake fisherman haul one in (we found this guy while geocaching, lol).
