Self-aware, honest, giving, and prefer to assume the best about people. I like to enjoy the present and what it offers; the joy of discovery in never letting yourself stop learning. Also prone to geek out about some useless trivia related to books, music or history.

Tala einnig íslensku.

I'm a journalist, but also do translation and proofreading work. I also write short fiction. Ultimately, it'd be great to make a living off of fiction, but for the time being I'm happy with the creative process in itself. Just about everyone I've met has taught me something, so meeting new people is, for me, another chance to learn, grow, and possibly find another person to share the joy of living with.

Conversation, listening, laughing, writing, cooking, not taking myself too seriously.

I've been told I come across as reserved or shy at first. Which is probably a fair assessment.

Damn, where to begin here? In books, my favorite authors include Haruki Murakami, Yoko Ogawa, Arundhati Roy, David Sedaris, and William S. Burroughs. In movies, pretty much anything by Wes Anderson, Pedro Almodovar or David Lynch. In music, really, I try to find something good about just about any genre - I'm constantly surprised. As far as food goes, most Asian food never fails me.

Discovery, friendship, passion, laughter, love and coffee.

Don't really obsess over any particular thing, to be honest. I like to shift my focus onto new interests and ideas.

Watching a movie, writing, reading, going out with friends. Forgetting it's Friday is also pretty common.

When I was 14, I had a hairstyle that mimicked Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran. I am neither especially proud nor especially ashamed of this fact.

Also, there was a song we learned in school when I was a kid that had the lyric "one rolled off the table, and killed a pal o' mine", which I understand to mean that there was a thing called a palomine - which I imagined to be a small, weasel-like creature - which was apparently vulnerable to biscuits falling from tables.

You're curious to know more, or might want to meet up and get to know each better. In other words, message me pretty much if you feel like it.
