My hair is always so messy. . .

   I've been visiting RPGamer for over five years now, first drawn by news and screenshots, staying for Q&A; and the forums. When the latest hiring call went out, and with more time on my hands now that I'm finished with college, I jumped at the chance to join. I am Cassandra, known around the forums as Strawberry Eggs, and just Strawberry on IRC. I'm currently on News and Media, and am also Co-Admin on the forums. I have written a number of reviews and am the occasional guess on the RPG Backtrack annd RPG Sanctum podcasts. I have an English BA and hope to work in publishing someday as an editor or literary agent. At the moment though, I am pursuing training as a medical assistant as a stable, well-paying job is currently more needed than an ideal one. I'd like to think I'm a good writer, or at least a competent one.

   I've been entranced by video games since I was four, watching my older cousins play Super Mario Bros. on the NES. I didn't get my own system until the Game Boy Pocket when I was nine. I mostly played platformers and the occasional puzzle game until 1998, when I was introduced to Pokemon Red. Strangely, that didn't start my love of RPGs, as I only played Pokemon Gold/Crystal and Paper Mario afterwards. That didn't start until 2003, when I got my hands on Phantasy Star Online: Episodes I & II. From there I've played RPGs almost exclusively. Though I've played console/JRPGs almost exclusively up to this point, I'm willing to give anything a shot and have been meaning to try out western/PC RPGs.

   Other random bits info on me: I love anime and read manga as well as fantasy novels, though I'll read just about anything. I just love to learn things in general, as I dabble in history, science, religions, mythology, and so forth. I don't pretend to know everything, but when I do know something, I say so. If you'd like to ask me something, email me at strawberry-eggs@rpgamer.com.
