About Me

Cal is a short version of Calani, an internet nick I created myself, just to realize a little later that's a real name used by the Australian aborigines. In my real life people call me Dajana, more or less ;) I'm quite chaotic, at least attracting lotsa chaos (sorry, that all happens not intended). I'm very lively, spontaneous and sometimes quite impulsive. and I love music! with all senses and all kinds of ... whatever touches me or got a special meaning to me. fare for the soul ya know. I love going to shows and festivals, taking photos, travelling around and to do some other stuff (computer stuff mostly). and I'm much skilled in technical things (studied mechanical engineering and work in a power station - um... I'm not Homer Simpson). I know that often scares men, but hey, I'm just a women as every other one too ;) I better fix my car myself than someone else I have to pay for no? I know what I want, say what I think and mean what I say. and that's no phrase! life is too short to waste time. I'm living here and now! I'm always busy with things, without all that I wouldn't feel alive I guess.
