A summary? Huh. Very well:

I consider myself an artist - a writer, actually, although I haven't had any success yet. It's very important to me, though.

Let's see ... I like to think I'm creative and have a tendency for the absurd, but I'm pretty laid back and I don't like being in too much of a hurry. So, no ultra-hyperness here, sorry.

What else? I have a rather high opinion of myself, even though I seldom show it. I'm hardly ever offended. The only things that tick me off is the restriction of personal freedom (in the acceptable boundaries of morals, but those are different for each person anyway). Also, I hate intolerance; especially if it's based on ignorance ... not knowing the facts.

Ah, I guess I've already started in a negative way, haven't I? Yeah, I'm pessimistic sometimes and I'm not above the occasional sarcastic remark.

Well, on to things I like:

Creativity. There is nothing that amazes me more than the beauty people are able to create ...

Foreign culture ... I don't know how much anyone reading this would know about Austrian tradition, but it does absolutely nothing for me. I'd rather learn about others.

The night. I'm not much of a day person ... I like the softness of the lights illuminating the streets, the way shadows form into the strangest shapes ... ah, I'll stop before I start rambling.

Anything else? Yeah, lots, but if I told you everything about me, there wouldn't be much curiosity left, if any - don't you agree?

Right now? Enjoying it. I'm still thinking whether I should try going to university (maybe Anglistics, or - I'm not quite sure what the subject would be called in English - Japanese. Maybe Journalism, but I'm not in too much of a hurry.) The life of an artists appeals much more to me, though, and I'm trying to become a professional writer.

Not bound to a specific place, going wherever I fancy without having to worry about money. That's the kind of life I want to lead, never mind what anyone else says.

grammar and spelling (although I'm better in German than in English).

philosophy and discussions ... it's been said that I'm pretty funny, although my kind of humour is more of the black variety.

talking complete nonsense with a straight face.

memorizing things most people consider useless.

imitating the way people speak if I heard them do so often enough.

My way of walking. It's supposed to be rather energetic.

At first I seem to be rather shy, but once I'm relaxed I get wacky. Supposedly.

Well, I'm sure as hell not putting it in my order of preference, that would be too much work and I'm never really sure which things I like most, anyway.

a) The Sandman, Hermann Hesse - Der Steppenwolf, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Watchmen, Swamp Thing), Hellblazer, Lord of the Rings, Musashi, The Catcher in the Rye, The Name of the Rose, Seinen Manga (Monster, 20th Century Boys, Vagabond)

b) Star Wars (original trilogy), Batman (first two, Batman Begins), Fight Club, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Firefly, Pirates of the Carribean, The Name of the Rose, The Count of Monte Christo (the version with Gerard Depardieu), Hannibal Series, Devil's Advocate, X-Men, In the Mouth of Madness, Last Samurai, Vampire Movies, Classic Chinese&Japanese Movies, Scrubs, Hellsing, Full Metal Alchemist, Shaun of the Dead, Plunkett&Macleane and many more.

c) rock, heavy metal or classic ... I cannot stand most hip hop and I absolutely hate folk music. The Austrian kind, that is.

Nightwish, Subway to Sally, Rammstein, Hammerfall, Judas Priest, Tori Amos, In Extremo, Mozart, Qntal, The Black Mages

d) pizza, yoghurt, chips/french fries, italian, chinese

My notebook, personal freedom, my collection of swords and other blade-weapons (which, sadly, isn't that large), my five senses, the craft of reading/writing and ... let's see ... ah, the few people I consider true friends.

Things only I seem to notice, what if ...?, stories, things that happened/I read about a long time ago, psychology and a lot of trivial stuff.

If I forgot anything. Again.

Either writing, sleeping, generally in front of my computer, going to the movies or together with a couple friends of mine. Oh, and various other activities like role-paying, but those count as things I do with those 'friends of mine'.

Every other person I know has depressions. It's weird, since I don't. Maybe it's in the family, since my brother only seems to have homosexual friends despite being straight AND married.

If? Well, we'll see if we have fun talking soon enough, so I don't see any reason why you shouldn't.

I also don't mind guys contacting me to chat, but I'm straight, so please don't start hitting on me.
