About Me

Ordinary and extraordinary, earthling and changeling, searching for answers, trying to make the world a better place, dreaming, dreaming, DREAMING.My dream/goal in life: To become a writer, tell-tale (paramythou in Greek) or to write stories for comics...

Oh, yeah. Dreaming, asleep and awake.I HATE: going to the beach, insects, dogs that bark, VERY immature people (though I'm not mature either), people who are TOO down to earth or don't have the guts to dream, loud voices, shouting at me, clubs, Greek mpouzoukopop music, seeing people when we have nothing essential to talk about, getting involved in silly and useless situations (of every nature), and the fact that I can't drink much because I get drunk easily:P
