About Me

I don't really like to talk about myself, but it's something I have to learn to be a little better at, so here we go.
Hi, my name is Karel. That's only one letter and one hyphen away from Superman's birth name, kids. (which is Kal-el)
I am an anglophile.
I have a 4-years-older sister that goes by the name of Fran(cesca).
I really like cats but they have stay out of the house because I'm slightly allergic to them. I invariably call every cat by the name 'Poes'. I don't care for dogs at all.
I have a lot of grey hairs already. I infrequently colour my hair. Like now.
I'm anti-smoking. You can smoke outside all you want, but if you light a cigarette in my vicinity indoors, I will throw angry and annoyed looks at you, and I will attempt to use my superior will power to make your cigarette go out.
I occasionally drink alcoholic beverages. I enjoy a rum-coke cocktail and I have succesfully passed the 6-beers-in-half-an-hour challenge. I don't drink coffee, but I'm really fond of coffee icecream, and those edible coffee bean thingies.
I'm not vegetarian. Sorry. Most vegetables aren't really my thing. Neither is fish.
I am not a particularily good dancer. Moving arms and legs in different directions at the same time is pretty hard.
I dislike telephone conversations. I used to enjoy writing letters.
I like to sport (mainly some really modest running, cycling or swimming) if my infrequent asthma isn't bothering me. I never was any good at skateboarding.
I don't know how to play any musical instruments, but I'm an experienced air-drummer.
I don't really enjoy eating dinner at a normal restaurant. The formal atmosphere kind of ruins the fun for me.
I'm good with random useless knowledge, names and faces but I totally suck at dates, streets, geography and route planning.
The best and most efficient way to remove me from a room quickly, is to start vacuum cleaning there.
I have a tendency to juggle compulsively with things like remotes, fruit and cooking timers.
If I'm in a public place with nobody to talk to, I will get out my handkerchief and (pretend to) blow my nose. It's an unstoppable reflex.
I never thrown a party in my life.
I always forget about gifts. Sorry.
I have an unstoppable compulsion that makes me compare parts of people's faces to other people.
