About Me

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons because you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

I have a boyfriend, 100% satisfied, and the warranty hasn't expired, so no need to offer any supplies of any kind, kthanx.
Daughter of a diplomat, I've grown up in Africa and Australia, have German nationality, but am half Russian and Indian from my mother's side.
I am writing my dissertation in IT and Communication Sciences, specializing in Knowledge Managment, Cognitive and Affective Sciences.
Have worked as a stylist, cook, bartender; enjoy creative, innovative, organizational work of any kind. Love designing clothes, interior design, architecture and am a master when it comes to culinary creations.I'm animal crazy, like recycling, tidy&clean surroundings, love cosmopolitans and frozen daiquiris, listen preferably to rock, melodic rock, electro and certain pop music, but have covered most music genres and am not loyal to a certain genre.
Just keep death & speed metal & boy bands away from me. It bores the shit out of me.
My favourite mantra by the Dalai Lama...
Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Don't ask yourself why life is so complicated. Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
We are constantly unhappy, because our today is the tomorrow that we worried about yesterday. We worry because we analyze.
Worrying has become our habit. That's why we are not happy.
Don't worry about uncertainty because it is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Pain is not due to uncertainty. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
We go through trials but don't have to suffer, it's also optional.
With that experience our life becomes better not bitter.
Experience is a hard teacher.
She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
She offers beneficial lessons to enhance mental strength.
Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
And though succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction remember that success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Frankly, in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
We always ask "Why me?" when we suffer, but hardly ever when we prosper. Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
To get the best out of life, face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts or doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve.

Ideologies are perceived-accepted-suffered cultural objects, which work fundamentally on men by a process they do not understand. What men express in their ideologies is not their true relationship to their conditions of existence, but how they react to their conditions of existence; which presupposes a real relationship and an imaginary relationship.
-Althusser

I'd like to meet:

Starting with whom I don't want to meet:
Strangers who ask for my msn or web cam. Small talk bores the crap out of me.Who I'd like to meet(and I really hope you mail me on facebook instead :D ) Androgynous thinking people who can educate me. I'm referring to men and women who do not feel responsible of and are aware of how our culture (via media) conditions us to think in rigid, gender assigned ways.

People who possibly believe in something (minus the fanatism), who have their own opinions (without the entire fuck-the-world wanna be sarcasm attitude) and people who do not narrow their thoughts to a single dimension.

Television:

BBC Documentaries, Battlestar Galactica, Bottom, Coupling, Heroes, Nip/Tuck, Prison Break, RESCUE ME, Scrubs

Books:

I prefer audiobooks or reading online and researching whimsically. A few authors I don't get bored of are Anne rice, Antonio Damasio, Ken Wilber, Khalil Gibran, Oscar Wilde, Terry Pratchett, Rabindranath Tagore, Robert Anton Wilson, Sam Fryman and most recent The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell

Heroes:

I don't really idiolize others as I see other people more as an inspiration/motivation for my personal development. Everyone can achieve their goals, if their goals aren't materialistic. My ultimate goal is obviously happiness and I'd have to thank the Dalai Lama, my friend Johnny and Dr. ph. Mary Pipher for writing one of the most educative books for girls that I recommend everyone reads.
I admire people who share happiness and knowledge, who take responsibility for their actions, who do not take happiness for granted and are aware of their environment.
