About
My name is Alex, and I was born on July 3rd, 1994 (which makes me fourteen years old, for those math impaired). I love music, and I play five instruments -- alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, clarinet, piano, and am currently self-teaching myself the flute. I'm also an eighth grader as of Fall of 2007.
I currently own a plethora of gaming systems which consist of: a Gamecube, a Wii, a Gameboy (original, no colour), a Gameboy Colour, a Gameboy Advance, and a Playstation Portable. I always buy the new gaming systems, but I lose interest in them a few weeks after I get them -- it's one of my defining qualities.
I currently live with my parents and my older brother Charlie in a cozy home in California. I come from a small family, consisting of: two parents, one brother, four grandparents, and four cousins. My parents both hail from the Hunan province of China, but I don't have any relatives in the USA.
I consider myself a down-to-earth suburban person, but sometimes I do get a bit big-headed. People tell me that I have a tendency to tell people what's wrong with them -- which gets me into a lot of trouble sometimes. Hey, I'm a brutally honest person; if there's a zit on your nose, I'll probably be the first to mention it.

About Thundered
Thundered is currently hosted by Site5. The domain name is currently registered with Namecheap and is set to expire on July 1st, 2009. Thundered was also first incarnated as Viibrato.org on December 27, 2006. All of the pages of Thundered should be valid XHTML Strict 1.0, but I'm only human, so if I let in a mistake on one of my pages, please contact me via email so I can fix the problem. The current Grunge layout is not compatible with IE 6.0.
Why Thundered? Well, it comes from the constant times that my mom has told me to walk softer down the stairs or in the hall. She says I ‘thunder’ down the halls, so I guess that’s where Thundered comes from.
