I love looking at and reading about art, design and architecture. I splash around with paint every now and then, most of it ends up on my clothes and not on the canvas, but I enjoy the process of creating a painting. I love the abstract art and I love colors.
Other interests would be reading, my cats, psychology, generally trying to have a good time, surfing the net, the English language and caring for my friends and family. I'm not too much into sports, but I do enjoy badminton and riding my bicycle. My couch and my bed are my favorite pieces of furniture. I can't cook, but I like to eat. A dilemma, you think? Nah. That's what take-aways are for.
People who can make me laugh or at least smile and who can spell. Someone on my wavelength.
Weird people, nice people, sexy people, dumb people, dead people. Everyone is welcome, except for unfunny and intolerant people.
Norah Jones, Katie Melua, Alanis Morissette, Janis Joplin, U2 and whatever else my ears like.
I love funny and weird movies. Everything by Spike Jonze, Woody Allen and the Farelly brothers. Three of my all time favorite movies are Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, The Fisher King and Forrest Gump. If you want to see me cry, watch Forrest Gump with me. Oh! I forgot to mention Dogma and Moulin Rouge. Two other favourites.
I'd love to tell you that I'm one of those intellectual human beings who despise the TV and the way it influences our behaviour and opinions and who only ever switch it on to watch a carefully measured fifteen minutes of news, but alas, I can't do that. My TV is almost always on. I watch everything. Even commercials. Sad, I know.
Books are my favorite way of escapism. Some of my favorite writers are Matt Ruff, John Irving, Nick Hornby, Ira Levin, T.C. Boyle, Ben Elton, Henning Mankell, Irvine Welsh, Jonathan Safran Foer, Bill Bryson and Stephen King. I'm also a big fan of Gary Larson cartoons. What's funnier than Gary Larson cartoons? If I happen to read non fiction, it's mainly about art (I'm one of those people who actually read the text below the pictures).
Walt Disney, Sophie Scholl
