Hello! My name is Alexander. My friends call me Sasha or Alex. I am Russian. I was born in Ryazan city but now I live and work in Korolyov city, which is situated in the Moscow region. Often I drive home on weekends. I am an engineer, working for a rocket and space corporation called "Energia". My team tests space radio systems. My work is monotonous but interesting moments happen, usually when something is going wrong =) I am 30 years old. My English is not so good. I was learning English at school and at university, but I wasn't enthusiastic. Now I understand that I need English for studying, for work, and for life. I am very lazy, but I am trying to defeat my laziness. In my free time, I like active sports, like snowboarding, rollerblading, hang-gliding, and paragliding. I am fond of mountain landscapes, rivers, and cliffs. I love nature, fresh air, sunrises and sunsets, cumulus clouds and blue sky. I love snow and grass, cold and warm weather. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time on computer games. My first favorite game was Warcraft 2. Later, I played Starcraft, Diablo, Max Payne. My friends and I were impressed by an episode of South Park "Make love, not Warcraft". Later we have made our own WoW server. One year later I was still playing on official WoW servers. I have been playing this game for about 6 years, and it is fun. I have found real friends while playing this game, and I still communicate with them. Recently I have started to trade on financial markets, on the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange. I buy and sell stocks, currencies, and futures contracts. I make charts and watch statistics and news. I am fond of reading books. I like fantasy novels and biographies of interesting people. My favorite writers are Harry Harrison, Neil Gaiman, Robert Heinlein. And I like to read Oleg Pelevin's books from recent time. I'll be very glad to talk with you if you have an interest in talking with me =)
