My Interests

Music:

http://www.myspace.com/elenakarag I love writing songs on my guitar.. It is something that I prefer to do for my own personal satisfaction rather than to perform in front of people... I have been a student of Mrs Gigante's for more than 6 years, taking opera and singing lessons. I performed with her team at the “Festival of Simi”, among other occasions(http://elenikaragianni.gr/music.htm -OH MIO BABBINO CARO). In the last 10 years I have also performed with various groups playing different kinds of music, such as Rock, Ambient, Ethnic, Jazz and many more. I am now looking for people with new ideas to make music with .So if anyone is interested..
I made this music playlist at MyFlashFetish .com.

Movies:

I am not very keen on secluding my self in home or in a movie theatre…

Television:

Helps me fall asleep. The more stupid the better..

Books:

Unfortunately I have time only for my Studying Books

Heroes:

We don..t need another hero!
