Heavy Metal Nation is a place for fans of heavy, interesting music to come and read, write, and comment on articles about heavy music. I'm an Aussie female and basically live, eat and breathe music.

My favourite bands include Queensrÿche, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Dungeon/Lord, Helloween, Lamb of God and many more.

I love music. I like to dance. I enjoy reading, writing and learning. I'm a nerd, apparently, and I can deal with that. I'm currently studying different facets of the mind, and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I value my health almost more than anything. I love discovering rare and amazing individuals. I love animals, especially cats - big or small.

I enjoy any game involving the Mario Brothers. I like beating people at Mario Kart, and singing the Super Mario Brothers tune at random points in time. You will often find me singing guitar parts of songs. I like monkeys. I have an extensive collection of bandanas.

Long haired men have been a fascination of mine since the Hansons. I play drums, and bass, but practice more on my limbs and random objects rather than the instruments themselves. I tend to drink lots, but don't worry, it's water.

I am a frequent concert-goer. Meeting fans with the same music taste gives me a feeling I can't explain. I love making friends and learning about new people. I believe failure does not exist. I'm pretty much a hippie. I dare to dream. I enjoy puzzles, and mazes. And telling people useless facts. The end.
