I am verträumt, nachdenklich, and düster.

My Self-Summary

I’m a pretty ordinary guy, except with pure evil instead of casual evil. Hence the “more pure” personality award. I think casual evil is the more vile kind of evil anyway.

Talking about personality awards, I certainly don’t deserve the “less artistic” award. Since love is ever so unattainable and science isn’t enough to keep me going (as we know from sociobiology), creative self-expression is about the only thing I live for. Seeing my transient ideas taking a fixed form is what makes me happy.

Now let’s set the facts box straight:
  1. I’ve set the location to Rade, Schleswig-Holstein, but there was no way to distinguish the four Rades in their database, so the distance displayed might be wrong. I’ll need to check that when I’ve got more time.
  2. Relationship status: It’s not the same as “single”, and yes, if I didn’t think so, it would still be different.
  3. While I don’t have cats, I do live in proximity to a lot of them, and there most likely are some cat’s hairs somewhere on my clothes right now. I thought you might want to know that, in case you’re allergic or something.
  4. Do I like cats? I like some of them. Do I like dogs? Some of them, yes.
  5. Looking for… Can you guess what I was looking for when I came across this site? I bet you can’t. It was totally unrelated, but as you can see, I’m generally open to finding what I didn’t look for. But if you care to know, I’m looking for…
    1. a blood source. That sounds worse than it actually is.
    2. anyone who might be interested to collaborate in this idea or any webcomic or other arts project.
    3. I wouldn’t mind some practice smooching.
    4. hostages. No, not real hostages of course. Let me explain. I figured humans are herd animals, especially in scary situations. So if I had accomplices who mingle with the customers in the bank, who then model the reactions I want to see in the real hostages, that would make it much easier to control the crowd. Yes, I’m an evil genius like that, but I guess I’ll never find enough minions for that plan.
    Can you believe they don’t have checkboxes for any of these? Not even for one of them.

Erst einmal möchte ich klarstellen, dass manche meiner Profil-Angaben nur die am ehesten zutreffende Ankreuzmöglichkeit sind, aber nicht wirklich als wahr gelten können. Ich bin nicht „Single.“ Das ist eine verbreitete Fehlauffassung. Soll ich den Unterschied erklären? Das ist wahrscheinlich zu esoterisch.

Und den Abschnitt darüber, was ich suche, kannst Du getrost ignorieren. Kannst Du Dir denken, wonach ich gesucht habe, als ich diese Website hier fand? Nein, kannst Du nicht. Das hatte nämlich gar nichts hiermit zu tun. Und doch bin ich jetzt hier angemeldet. Wie Du also siehst, bin ich offen dafür, etwas anderes zu finden, als ich zu finden hoffe.

What I’m doing with my life

The plan:

  1. find true love
  2. lose true love
  3. try out untrue love
  4. find happiness
  5. make happiness go away
  6. find serenity

Of course, this plan is too ambitious and relies too much on chance to reasonably be pursued adamantly, so there must be a plan B.

Plan B:

  1. destroy all systems
  2. take down those who rise
  3. wake up those who lie on the floor
  4. don’t feed the unicorn!
  5. embrace the void back

Da bin ich mir noch nicht ganz sicher. Außer dass ich Webcomics zeichne, werde ich wahrscheinlich mal ein paar interessante Theoreme im Bereich der Himmelsmechanik beweisen. Ein paar mehr, sollte ich wohl sagen. Eines habe ich ja schon bewiesen.

I’m really good at

listening. I'm also good at drawing, though I don't get to do so as often as I'd like to. Regarding Javascript or POV-Ray SDL, I'm quite a skilled programmer. For other languages I'd have to consult the documentation more often. Abstract thinking is definitively one of my strong points.

I’m good at having ideas. Implementing them is something I could get better at.

I’m good at inventing writing systems. I noticed it that one day when I casually made up two conscripts which weren’t even of the simple kind. If you’d like to know what this sample text says, you’ll have to ask blurgle though, because I only created the script, not the language.

zuhören. Und ich kann gut zeichnen, wenn ich mal dazu komme. Was Javascript und POV-Ray SDL angeht, bin ich ein sehr guter Programmierer. Bei anderen Programmiersprachen muss ich schon häufiger die Dokumentation zurate ziehen. Abstraktes denken ist auf jeden Fall eine meiner Stärken.

Ich bin gut darin, Ideen zu haben. Was das Umsetzen angeht, könnte ich besser werden.

The first things people usually notice about me

I don’t know. But whatever it is they notice first, they’ll later admit that they were wrong about it.
Now in German
Da kann ich nur davon ausgehen, worüber sich Leute geäußert haben.

Meine Kleidung. Dabei trage ich gar nicht mehr oft nur schwarz. Mich wundert auch, wo manche Leute ihre Ideen darüber her haben, was Kleidung aussagt.

Im Zug fällt schon mal auf, dass ich am Zeichnen bin.

Jemand hat nach einem ersten Kennenlernen mal festgestellt, dass ich eigentlich ein „alter Knacker“ sei. Und das kam nicht von einem Kind, also dürfen wir diesen Kommentar gerne ernst nehmen.

Einem meiner Brüder, der mich nicht so oft sieht fällt anscheinend jedes Mal als erstes auf, wie sehr sich die Länge meiner Haare in der Zwischenzeit geändert hat.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Reading: Anything by Lovecraft—stories, essays, letters—; Pet Sematary by Steven King. Actually, I don’t read all that many books anymore these days. I mostly read the internet. Of course, I have never read it from cover to cover, because, you know, most of it is thoroughly stupid, and most of the rest is not interesting. As favourit webcomics I would list Teddy Bear Anti Christ and After Lily.

Watching: The Silence of the Lambs, Interview with the Vampire, Cube, Nochnoy Dozor, Dnevnoy Dozor. I also enjoy watching classics a lot. The Haunting, Cat People, Jack Arnold movies, Donovan’s Brain,…. I also can enjoy movies which might not strictly be considered “good”. What’s there to nit-pick about Ghosts of Mars? And Split Second is just awesome.

Listening: I’ll drop you some lines. If you know the song, sing along…♪
  • Life, it’s ever so strange
    It’s so full of change
    Think that you’ve worked it out
    Then…
  • It’s raining in my house tonight
    Roof’s leaking everywhere
    It’s overflowing buckets
    And pouring down the stairs
  • I’m not afraid of standing still
    I’m just afraid of being bored
    I’m not afraid of speaking my mind
    I’m just afraid of being ignored


Savouring: Many delicious dishes can be made based on zucchini and tomatoes.
You can put passata di pomodoro on anything. You don’t have to and wouldn’t always want to, but you can. The same applies to Thousand Island dressing and to Gouda.
I guess I should add bread or muesli to the six things I could never do without entry. German bread, of course.
Now in German
Bücher: Alles von Lovecraft.

Filme: Interview with a Vampire, Das Schweigen der Lämmer, Nochnoj Dozor

Musik: Jem, Alisha's attic, Tegan and Sara

Essen: Öfter mal was Neues.

The six things I could never do without

Never? That’s a bit much. Funny fact: I could even do without atmosphere, for about a minute. Not that I had ever tried it or intended to.

So the six things I currently have a need for, and not having which would not only be uncomfortable, but would probably also result in me developing other needs:
  • pencil and paper
  • razor blade, needle, and thread
  • sane people
  • time to be alone with my thoughts
  • hope and cynicism
  • my glasses (they’re not just for fashion)
Now in German
  • Papier und Bleistift
  • Rasierklinge, Nadel und Faden
  • Vernünftige Leute
  • Zeit um mit meinen Gedanken allein zu sein
  • Hoffnung und Zynismus
  • meine Brille (sie ist nicht nur ein modisches Accessoire)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Philosophy of time travel

If you really want to know what kinds of things I’m thinking about, read my journal, and also have a look at my “Just a Thought”–site, which is also where you can find the most recent pictures of me.
Now in German
Wie verhält sich das newtonsche Zweikörperproblem mit m1 = -m2? Und wie mit echt komplexwertigen Massen? Wie stelle ich mir eine ideale Gesellschaft vor? Und wie wird die Zukunft stattdessen aussehen? Gibt es nichttriviale pythagoräische Tripel, bei denen der Winkel ein rationales Vielfaches von pi ist? — Das könnte ich gut gebrauchen.

… Und andere solche Dinge.

On a typical Friday night I am

Physically, most likely in front of my computer or in bed.

Mentally, maybe ın transfer space at some galaxy no one ever cared to vısıt, out ın Dark End, Wenta, or even more dıstant clusters. Maybe lost in the blackness of the uncharted sewer system under Atano’s old town centre, venturing farther into the ancient depths to see what others may find there. Maybe delving into the specifics of W3C DOM Level 2 Events, because I’d like to answer a question which was posted to the SVG developers mailing list as accurate as I can—but I’m trying to avoid this.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Well the most private thing I’m willing to publicly announce here is this.
In regards to relationships I've been a typical left-out so far, with all it entails. Kissing is a very surreal idea. I'm just as un-experienced as anyone's at first, but by far not as unknowing.

No, the most private thing I’ll announce is that it bothers me. It’s not a big deal, but it’s on my mind occasionally, and I never want to feel like I had to treat it like a secret.

You should message me if

You should message me if you’d like to invite me to some brand new social networking site.
And send me some Cialis ads, and Spanish Prisoner letters.

But if you message me for another reason, you should know that my response time is measured in weeks. I don’t have an internet connection at home currently. I have to do all my internet usage when visiting family in Neumünster for some hours at weekends.
Now in German
Nein, schick mir keine Nachricht. Das wäre zu viel Aufregung für mein altes Herz.

Aber wenn Du mir doch eine Nachricht sendest, solltest Du wissen, dass ich derzeit keine ständige Internetverbindung habe und ich deshalb etwas länger zum Antworten brauchen kann. Am Wochenende habe ich meistens die Möglichkeit, ein paar Stunden Internetangelegenheiten zu bearbeiten.
