About Me:

Well, I like literature, cinematograp​hy, „good“ (subjective)​ music, learning languages (usually for a week after which I desire to master it and as it never seems to work I give up quickly...pa​tience is what I lack) and anything that requires no physical activity from me (laziness´s my worst vice – it takes control of all the others and kills any good intention of mine).
Otherwise, just like Rimmer, I´m wonderful at planning. I´ve no problem with planning whole my life to the tiniest detail but somehow, the longer I plan the greatest delay in implementing​ it comes.

Uh, I also have troubles with expressing myself shortly and in written speech I tend to overuse brackets :).

Here, I´ve been told I was a cold bitch or anything expressing the same in nicer words. However, even when I tend to be pretty self-critica​l I´m not able to take seriously criticism based upon one reading of somebody´s profile. But it makes one think :). In fact, although it may sound weird, I´ve been sort of enjoying these negative reactions as they´ve been, ironically, in contrast to what people think of me in „reality.“ For those I am shy, reserved and uncommunicat​ive. I wondered whether it meant I was a schizophreni​ac.
But nothing that blockbuster.​ The true explanation is I feel free in writing; as a form of conversation​ I definitely prefer it because I´ve realized it enables me to think with no pressure, to say what I need to say without feeling nervous and overwhelmed by emotions of the situation given.  In addition, I don´t need to feel incovenient for boring everyone to death because I don´t make anyone read this yet it helps me to make order in my thoughts :).

Currently I study at my dream university. However, as usual, dreaming seems to be far better than facing the reality. Thus, at the moment I don´t see my future very brightly - apparently I´m not the study type. (Not like it was some kind of shock - the only thing I´ve ever been good at at school was wagging it.).

Requests:

I´ve found out that I simply can not respond everyone even if I cut myself in 3 billion little pieces therefore people who use words LOVE and FRIENDSHIP in the very first messages shall already forget about writing to me.
Making friends is one of those rather difficult and long-term activities in our lives, I believe. I somehow find it absurd to start a relationship​ with the aim of becoming somebody´s friend instead of getting to know a stranger, developing warm feelings towards him/her and letting time show whether that´s the one worth the precious label „my friend.“ Begging for friendship is something beyond all understandin​g for me because when you gain a friend you don´t need to say it, you feel it. Besides, what makes you believe I am the person you´d want to have for a friend when you don´t even know me? You might regret bitterly...:​)

The second group of people, who don´t need to waste their time and energy is the one creating messages containing modest (but briefness in this case is rather unwelcome) „Hi, how are you?“ and similar wisdom for I mercilessly delete them. Let´s be reasonable, I´m not an octopus.

Please, don´t tell me how long my profile is. You know, I´ve kinda noticed. What am I supposed to reply? „Uhm, yes, what the wonderful observation abilities you have!“
As I had said, it is more than troublesome for me to write shortly. Which is the main reason why I can´t talk to many people (although I´d love to) since I always manage to write a long mail even when it´s the last thing I want. Once I let my thoughts wander, god save you! :)

And finally, I apologize to everyone who is interesting and writes original, often witty messages in case of getting no reply from me (which is, I´m afraid in most of the cases) but as it´s just impossible to keep everyone satisfied I follow the motto "Better​ not to ever write to you than to give you false hopes and then be late with a reply for months [years? :)] and thereby disappoint you." Don´t take it pesonally, it´s a business :).

Phew, I know it very well, this is not enough. I owe an apology to more people. To those who I actually did send a reply...but next time not. Shame on me. Well, I could name specific persons but I dread the list would be too long. I suppose that if you ever came across my profile again and read this, the fact I feel guilty wouldn´t help much, would it? :/ Sad how much easier it is to „ignore“ (I swear I didn´t mean to) people who are just names in the void. And how difficult it is to get rid of any persona non grata that is physically present. I wish I could come with an excuse (which is to say my hobby) but it would be unappropriat​e in connection with the apologize I am trying to create. I am sorry.
