CURRENT MISSION

Studying to be the greatest paper conservator around! Also watching lots of cartoons...

ABOUT ME

I love to travel new places and meet new people. I need people around me. But sometimes it's just nice to be at home and be alone for a moment. I enjoy surfing the net aimlessly, chatting with friends on IRC. (contact me: mira-tab @ IRCnet, Quakenet, Freenode)

I don't smoke, drink rarely. Only drugs that I use are tea and sugar. Sugar addiction is hard to kill. I never want to quit drinking tea. Oh, and food is my best friend. I spend all my money to food.

I like people, human contact, talking rubbish. I'm careless and don't worry about tomorrow really. Maybe I should sometimes. Still I care about others really much and want to help when ever it's possible. It's hard to stay still when people around me are working and doing.

PHILOSOPHY

What ever comes, I'll be allright. Everything is always going to be allright. I do things that I like and that make me feel good. I don't need to be with people who make me feel bad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking is one of the best things in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm good at baking chocolate muffins. I also like drawing. If you like to draw, we can draw together (or if I'm hosting I can invite a bunch of awsome people to my place to draw and eat chocolate muffins). I also like doing all kinds of arts and crafts.

And I love to learn new stuff!
