CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm kind of shy, but sometimes you won't even notice.
Some people think I'm funny,others of course not. But what can I say,you can't please everyone,can you?!
I am not easily offended and try to take everything with humour.
I enjoy other people's company. Sometimes I can be really quiet and others you may think I have verbal diarrhea :)
I looove learning new languages.

PHILOSOPHY

-"The whole Universe is a large joke. Everything in the Universe are just subdivisions of this joke. So why take anything too serious" Zappa

"Something [wonderful] happens all the time, even at the height of tragedy" Cassavetes
