About Me

CURRENT MISSION

roller-coaster: up and down.

ABOUT ME

I like:

olives:My personal brand of drugs.
sleeping:Like a bear I could sleep through the whole winter!
computer games:My favourites are Need For Speed Most Wanted and Age of Empires 2
stereotypes:They are so funny! Did you know that all russians are alcoholics, americans are silly and polish steal whatever they see whenever they can ^^
I definitely don't like:

false compliments: Does it need a commentary?
people perceiving everything through stereotypes: Stereotypes are funny, but it's not funny at all when people really think that all the Russian girls are cheap prostitutes (yes, I've met a couple of humans who think this way)brr.
too eager waitresses: Have it ever happened to you that in a restaurant a waitress came to you like 5 times while you were eating and asked:"How do you like the food?". It always happens to me when I am chewing, so I can't say anything in a human language. I just make faces and strange sounds. After this everybody looks at me as at a poor retarded child^^

PHILOSOPHY

I don't think I need one right now. Having your own philosophy is creating frames of your living and I'm way too young to have some strong personal rules hanging above my head (otherwise I could just end up as a lousy hypocrite)..

Interests

Interests? A tough question.
I like reading, but read mostly during summer holidays. I love learning foreign languages by travelling. Meeting new people and learning their life stories is fascinating to me.
Trying to force my brain to work I play chess, but I'm too nice to people to win :P
