CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I smoke a pipe but I'm ashamed to do it public.

I'm not such a talkative guy and by this I mean I don't like chattering until I annoy or bore someone to death. Maybe my friends would object to this, 'cause sometimes I get overly-enthusiastic when talking to people who have fairly the same interesets as me.

Sometimes I'm extremely well-mannered, but I don't know if that counts as a good thing.

When I'm really bored I like to go have a drink with someone in a very cheap, almost ruin-like bar (you can find a lot of those where I come from.) But I love eating out at good restaurants, although my budget as a student doesn't allow me to pursue the dream of never having to cook for myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.
