Partying and clubbing are definitely NOT my thing. I'd much prefer meeting friends over a cup of coffee (or an occasional beer).
Art is the passion of my life, but music comes close! If I'm not spending my time creating artworks, taking photos or listening to music, I'd be reading books or watching movies. I'm not a sporty person, but I do enjoy working out in the gym sometimes (while listening to headbanging music of course). Unfortunately, the only musical instrument I can play is CD (lol)...but that's gonna change soon as I'm getting a guitar and I WILL learn to play it.

And of course, all the like minded music fans, musicians and interesting artists around the world...
Music is a very important part of my life, one of my main source of inspiration. I consider myself pretty open minded when it comes to music. I'm a Metalhead at heart but I appreciate anything from Black & Death Metal to Classical Music plus everything in between (as long as it's melodic and emotive). Even some Jazz, Trip-Hop and Post Rock are good when I'm in the right mood.
Sometimes I like my music intense and aggressive, sometimes I prefer calm and atmospheric, depending on my mood. Favourite genre: Melodic Black/Death Metal, Gothic Metal, Doom Metal, Progressive Metal, Folk/Viking Metal, Dark Ambient, Neo-Classical...

I don't watch a lot of TV these days, but I always have my TV on whenever I'm home. The X-Files used to be my favourite show. And when I was a kid, I loved watching Lois and Clark The New Adventure of Superman, don't ask me why, I guess I just loved the super cheesiness. Well, it was over 10 years ago, besides, cheese is not always bad!
I'm a sucker for history books. I'd read anything history related.
Armin Mersmann, Superman and maybe... Batman!
