CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Misanthrope and sociopath. Geek and nerd. And the most boring person you could ever imagine.

PHILOSOPHY

Interests

First of all, TV shows. When I'm at home, almost all the time that I don't spend on sleeping, eaing or chatting with my friends, I spend on watching series. Sometimes I remember that I can read â

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing. Amazing things are still to be done!

Teach, Learn, Share

Heh, I used to teach languages but it seems that I've forgotten almost everything. But I can tell you almost everything about the latest US tv-shows, channels'politics and so on. If you're too serious for it, you know, I'm kind of work in a serious on-line newspaper so I always can talk about politics.
