Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Long long time ago in a distant northern country� a child was born in a small town surrounded by lakes and forests. *pressing fast-forward, skipping the childhood, nerdy and lonely teenage years etc.* Now the child grown is living in the Netherlands for a while (it's been quite a learning experience!). It's not too bad here, although from time to time I miss the real nature and the real winter (especially the dry, crunching sounds of snow under your feet when it's really cold).

I yearn for social contact and can be chatty, witty and talkative, but also tend to in some situations turn introvert, quiet and reserved [update: nowadays less and less so!]. I have learned to enjoy city life and feed on the energy of strangers around me, but quiet moments alone in nature are still essential. I'm perceived as male, but don't (luckily!) feel like a �real man�. I can bottom, but I can also (to my own amazement) top. I work on the framework of Western science, but believe we have so much to learn from other cultures. (And I believe trees can give you energy, but am not sure if hugging them helps.)

I consider myself very open-minded and tolerant, but I don't like people thinking and acting in black and white (and it doesn't have to be grey between black and white, but multi-coloured!).

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Time traveling at steady pace. Walking a path unilluminated. Always expanding my limits. (And currently wading through a PhD program in botany and seriously pondering whether I'm on the right track at all, but that doesn't sound so mysterious, or does it?)

My main free-time activities at the moment: meeting friends, enjoying culture (especially music!), going out for dancing, resting to recover from all-the-work-and-no-play, sport climbing, relaxing in sauna.

Things I enjoy and want to do more: traveling, being in nature, working with people, photography and finding peace of mind.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

cooking, enjoying dancing, seeing different points of view

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

My tall and slim body and my long hair (sometimes hidden in a bun).

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

With culture I'm adventurous and like to explore new, weird things. Generally I prefer small, intimate events to huge mega-happenings.

(Books) Not reading as much as earlier... Herman Hesse, John Irving, Neil Gaiman, Mika Waltari etc. (and I used to be a big time scifi and fantasy fan, and still enjoy these genres from time to time). I intend to read Joyce's Ulysses before I die!

(Movies) Wide range. I can enjoy mainstream(ish) American movies (from Incredibles to Sideways and films by Coen brothers and Tarantino), but love to visit movie festivals and see all kind of obscure shit from all around the world.

(Music) From Chopin, Debussy and Shostakovich to Tori Amos, Moloko and Nine Inch Nails, for example. Many kinds of electronic beats, preferably played by anonymous DJ in a club with ample room for body to move.

(Food) Currently eating mostly vegetarian (and fish). Can't choose favorite cuisine, there's too much good stuff out there. Spicy Asian yummy. Willing to try almost everything once (except monkey brains). Don't like Dutch �cuisine�, though!

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Now let me see� *thinking really hard*

-fluff in belly button (actually I collect it for a friend)

-good old Golgi apparatus (who could do without that, huh?)

-soft and furry Viking helmets (for gentle Vikings)

-sounds and noises, natural and unnatural, perhaps arranged into rhythmic and/or harmonic patterns.

-(most of) my inner organs

-people ready to beat me and be beaten with birch twigs in hot steamy room.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

A way to stop thinking about things too much.

My work (wouldn't want to, but those bastards control my mind with microwaves!).

How deeply the binary gender system is embedded in our society.

Dirty things (like sewers and rotting fish).

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I'm keeping a box (well, relatively small box) full of my body hair. Not sure why, maybe I'll donate it to science one day.

Especially if:

-you are immortal

-you can fly or possess some other cool superpower
