About Me

Et in Arcadia Ego
"Ki isws auto pou pote den katalavame, itan oti emeine gia pantote diko mas,
giati poios kerdise pote ti nuxta i to oneiro, kai mes sto spiti o enas gia ton allon
ena aplo keimilio eimaste, kai monos tou o kathenas tha pethanei,
etsi mesa sto anisixo vradu, allokota fwtismeno ap'tous pursous,
eimaste panta aproetoimastoi. K' itan auti i sugkomidi mas."
Tasos Leivaditis, Skoteini praksi

"My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fibre and that I am therefore excused from saving universes"

My Interests

Trying to understand the secrets of the universe as a full time dream (yup they will be revealed to me!!! why not?? didn't get that!:P), laughing, traveling (imaginary and literally), walking, taking photographs, going to the cinema, reading English and French literature of the 18th-19th century and comics as a hobby... studying (the human race among others)... smelling and feeling books in general...

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people who love reading literature, watching a good film and listening to music as much as I do.

"if strangers meet
life begins-
not poor not rich
(only aware)
kind neither
nor cruel
(only complete)
i not not you
not possible;
only truthful
-truthfully,once
if strangers(who
deep our most are
selves)touch:
forever

and so to dark)"

"-What color does the sorrow have? The star asked the cherry tree and tripped at the rags of a cloud that passed hastily.
-Didn't you hear? I asked you, what color does the sorrow have?
-It has the sea's color when the sun falls in her hug. A dark wild blue."
Alkyoni Papadaki
"...they said that each star dreams of their ihabitants and that everything that happens in space is an illusion, just dreams within other dreams..."
