I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm usually in a good mood (ironic-type sense of humor), I'm perfectionist though not too demanding-boring with other people around me and I guess I prize balance and justice (not the institutional one, but the personal, ethic sense of it) a lot. I love beauty in all its forms, love admiring it, and I think I'm each day more of an arts passionate, fascinated with how deep they can go and how pleasurable they can be. Also love swimming and learning new things with other people (people can surprise you a lot - besides that, I like observing them from an outer perspective too, like a photographer would), especially about their own, genuin interests in life.Diplomacy is my natural way of doing things and I hate having to deal with conflict situations - still I do, when I really have to, and in a rational way. I don't like people who just use others either - that's rather strange for me. I think I'm generally and genuinly interested about other people's cultures and habits. I don't like intellectual presumption nor insistently dumb people - I'm fond of personal development and learning through the whole life...
