I don't think I ever really introduced myself properly
This is a slightly edited version of what appears on my myspace page lol.
WARNING: Some of this beyond the truth (ie. a stretching of the truth), other parts are real. You should be able to tell whats a joke and what's serious.
The story so far...
Costas Alex Vasili was brought into the world on the 13th of October 1990 at 6.55am. For years Costa has had to explain that "No, the name on my license is not a misprint. My parents decided to spell my name as a plural." His proud father and mother (obviously) were there to witness his birth at the Waverley Private Hospital, Glen Waverley. It was quite obvious from birth that he would shun the Public schooling system that was not up to his rigorous and demanding standards. Up until the age of 1, Costa resided in Springvale (prior to the invasion.)
Shortly after his first birthday, Nikki and Sof proudly baptised him at Springvale Greek Orthodox Church in front of a large contingent of family and friends. Soon after, Costa moved to Keysborough, 'the family home' as it is now known. This solid double-story brick house laid the foundations for a strong family, based on compassion and a desire to learn. Costa's intelligence was accompanied by his good looks which were recognised at the Annual Parkmore Baby Awards where Costa was awarded the prestigious "Cutest Baby" sash out of a field of five-thousand babies; a true testament to his baby-soft skin and perfect curls. Throughout his toddler years Costa had the company of his older brother Peter who was far less intelligent and witty than his younger and more attractive brother.
At the age of 4, Costa was enrolled in the world class educational institution "Keysborough Kindergarten" where he was placed in the pretentious and mischievous group known as the "Wallaroos." Described as "the brightest crayon in the box" by his teachers and peers, Costa graduated kindergarten with first class honours with a numeracy and literacy standard expected of an 8 year old.
Upon completion of his pre-schooling, Costa was enrolled in the fine educational facility known as "St. Anthony's Primary School." Here he excelled academically and socially quickly becoming the coolest kid on the block and the smartest kid in the classroom. In grade 6 he was befriended by the girl in the year level with the biggest 'knockers', Anika . Little did they know that years later they would stay the best of friends.
Throughout his primary school years, Costa partook in various sporting activities. With 5 years of swimming, 3 years of soccer and a year each of cricket and football, Costa was well equipped in many facets of sporting life. However it was his burning passion for tennis that fulfilled his physical needs. At the age of 10, Costa debuted on the Waverley district professional tennis circuit with a stunning 4th placing at the end of his debut season. Two years later, with a physique rivaling that of Pete Sampras, Costa broke through with his first championship, taking out the Winter Season premiership after a stellar season that included an undefeated singles record and an equally impressive doubles record. Costa continued on his tennis feats up until the age of 16 but was forced into early retirement due to a recurring and ultimately career-ending ankle injury.
At the end of his Primary schooling, Costa was enrolled in St John's Grammer (Regional College). He was immediately placed in an accelerated mathematical class which completed years 7,8,9 in 2 years. Bored and unoccupied with the normal syllabus in year 9, Costa was granted permission to further accelerate his studies, deciding to take a total of two subjects above his normal year level. Concurrently, Costa completed his Certificate II and III in Retail Operations at his place of employment Hungry Jacks. The employment relationship lasted 2 and a half years and ended in a bitter dispute regarding proper payment of his wages. After months of fighting in the Australian judiciary system (not quite), Costa received a judgment for a 'significant' total which reimbursed him for his work.
In 2007 on the 14th of August, Costa was stunned at the sudden yet somewhat expected death of his grandfather. However, in a true testament to his courage, he persisted through his studies to receive impeccable results for his year 12 subjects which he was studying in year 11. In 2008 on the 18th of July, Costa's grandmother who had been residing with the Vasili family for several months passed away (due to improper management by hospital staff at Dandenong Public Hospital). An internal investigation is still underway into the gross injustices that Mrs Theodora faced.
As of the 29th of December 2008, Costa has completed all of his VCE exams and has received as ENTER of 96.95. As an eligible bachelor, and now at the age of 18 Costa has grown into a mature yet jovial young adult who upholds a strong moral centre but continues to rejoice in his friends and family's company. Costa's best friends help him through everyday and it is these people who he thanks for shaping him into the person he is today.
