About Me

Don't really know what to say 'about me' so I just desrcribe things that refer to me, what I like
Guess I have a fully visual perception, I've been drawing since young ages and art is central part of my interests (sometimes it's killing me cos 'art is hard').

I'm quite direct as a person. Love a good, sometimes dark humor. Not much of a storyteller, but I catch natural flow of conversation. A bit of an old soul (ha-ha) I really like analog sound, cassette tapes. And analog photography, I use 35mm camera, fully amateur, exclusively for personal memory storage.
I like fine things. Then you try to stay conscious and not overconsume stuff, it makes you picky. Also I like self-made items, but for now I'm not that handy mysef.

I've always been 'green', but in my university I got into environmental studies substantially. Main research interest is waste management and environmental safety. Naturally this affects my perception of life overall.
I have slightly an ambivalent lifestyle, part of the time I spend in big, contemporary city, where are my friends and all networking thing, and other part - in rural village with my grandma, gardening, working with earth.

Sometimes it can be not that obvious externally, but I love people. People everything we have and I like see them, talk to them, spend time with them!
