My legal name is April, but the name I use is Alex a I am a gender fluid, vegetarian, artist. I love traveling and meeting new people.

In my free time I read, watch television, visit museums, see theater, write, paint, build Halloween and other holiday props, and occasionally go to bars. You can see some of my personal and commissioned prop building here: https://www.instagram.com/alexs_houseofhorrors/ . I am always listening to music. I have traveled to all 50 stars in the USA and many places in the world. I also hope to travel to many more! You can learn more about me and some of my travels here:

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most types of music! Some of my favorite musicians and bands are Modest Mouse, The Cure, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Pixies, The Supremes, Price, The Talking Heads, Spoon, and so many, many more. My favorite books tend to be dystopian, gothic, horror, science fiction, and classics but I'll read anything! Orwell, Bradbury, and Poe are probably my favorite.
