Writing! Writing comes first! I also love reading, watching movies, music, working out, taking photos and messing with them on photoshop, drawing, studying foreign languages (I speak English and German fluently, but I also know bits of Spanish, Japanese, Swedish, Urdu, Dutch, French and and and), learning random things, from interesting trivia, through reflexology to string theory; imitating voices: Yoda, Barry White, boxing announcers, Fozzie Bear, and most characters from Warcraft 2; video games, especially adventure games and gory shooters; computer graphics; hanging out with my friends, and meeting new people (of course only if they're cool, that is :P), writing shameful facts in my profile, and sleeping.
(TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE YOU CLICK ADD)People who have something to say or to show. Funny people. Smart people. People with interesting stories to tell. Artists. Musicians and bands. And friendly people with whom I can have an interesting conversation.HOWEVER......if you want to add me just to boost your friends counter - go try somewhere else. I have a bit over a hundred friends, most of whom I contact on a regular basis. I tend to write long messages. And I would REALLY appreciate if you would drop me a line along with a friend request. Say hi, tell me something, make me giggle with something funny or something random. I'm easy to please, really. But in order to take to a person I need something I can relate to, and I'd appreciate if they told me how they relate to me, what made them want to add me or how they found me. Then, we can take it from there. If that's too much to ask, then you obviously don't care enough. I just find it unkind when people add me just so that they can have 424243 friends, and who then don't bother to leave a word of comment, and continue to ignore the comments I leave and my messages. I just delete them. I don't want to have 4929 friends - I just want to have some fun people around with whom I can actually talk. Also, if you look at the comments my friends leave, you'll notice those are little essays sometimes. And that is exactly the way I like it. I can't help but CRINGE when I see a comment limited to "how r u?" First and foremost, it's spelled "How ARE YOU?" - for some reason, that's my pet peeve. I appreciate correct grammar, but I don't really mind bad grammar all that much - as long as there is some semblance of communication. In response to "how r u?" I could write a message of two hundred words, but if all you give me is - literally - five letters, then don't require of me that I respond with anything longer than "I'm fine" - which is still more, because it's six letters. Such a limited scope of communication is, to me, just as bad as no communication. Waste of time. Delete. Come ON, tell me SOMETHING. Something funny or completely random. Tell me what's up with you if you want to know what's up with me. Simple.AS FOR BANDS...I'm open to new music. I've added many bands as of late, and I really appreciate all the audio goodness. So far, it looks like the bands and artists I added really took their time to look at the kind of music I like, because the vast majority offer something that I really like. One minor remark, perhaps - I'm not really a fan of metal, and trash metal, black metal and death metal are not my cup of tea. If you sound like, say, Gorgoroth or Cradle of Filth, then I might not be the person you're looking for. I'd also like to thank all the bands who, in spite of having tens of people comment on their music daily, cared to drop me a line after I added them. I know how busy bands are and I don't expect or require bands to do that. But I think it's just so cool when they do stop by to say hi. I really appreciate it :DNow, if you don't hate me after reading all this and you think you can handle the challenge of being my myspace friend, I dare you to press ADD ;)P.S. Oh, and I'd like to meet God - and seriously talk to him about tearing this whole place down and re-building it from scratch, because this one basically sucks. I'd have him do that in three days instead of six, so he gets really tired and will be taking a rest for four days, and thus, we'll get a four days long weekend.
Silverchair! Diorama is most likely the best cd in the world! I'm a huge fan of the Deftones and hearing Team Sleep makes me want to make babies to my stereo. Filter rock - but how can a band whose frontman is the brother of Terminator 1000 not rock, eh? Bjork might be a looney little lady, but damn she can sing, and when she asks her beat-boxing and throat-singing friends to a jam session, incredible things happen. Tori Amos, the Cornflake Girl, blessed the world with the sexiest, most touching album ever, the "Beekeper", which is an endless source of inspiration for me. The Dresden Dolls have changed my world and made it into a song. Not to mention Amanda made me realize my peculiar fetish for women with their faces painted white. Dave Matthews is to me a tireless preacher in the rain, and I can't help but like the guy for his amazing songs. Prodigy are my childhood heroes who will never go forgotten, even though their latest effort just wasn't it! (bad, bad, bad boy Liam! Cut down on porn and do some decent music!) Them and Soundgarden opened me up to a world of guitar music, I used to be a techno freak before. From there, I ventured deeper into the world of rock, and became a fan of Korn, Limp Bizkit, Godsmack, Linkin Park (first cd rocks, and I don't care if they're just a boyband with guitars!), Incubus, System of a Down. But even after ten years, I'm still a fan of Gershwin's Rhapsody. I'm also a patriot, sometimes, and I have to put in a good word for my favorite Polish band Ocean, who are awesome musicians and great, funny guys. And last but not least... my musical myspace friends! :D It's crazy how many awesome, talented, incredible, inspiring, creative, devoted musicians there are out there, all around the globe - and I'm happy and thankful they want to be my friends. I think I can honestly say I haven't heard such a lot of top-notch artists in my life as I have in the past months. Take a look around my friends list and check them out - all of them, one by one! Their music makes my day every day :)

My dad, of course - for too many reasons to name. Daniel Johns of Silverchair, for creating THE best cd on the planet at the age of 23. Brian Singer for making X-Men 2. Jim Carrey for being Ace Ventura, the Mask and Grinch, and for proving he's more than a comedian with talking buttocks, that he can play a normal guy (I loved his performance in the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)
