Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Write, program, create anything I'm capable of, and do what I need to do
ABOUT ME
Surrealist. The world is deeply bizarre and I thrive on the weird.
PHILOSOPHY
Chaos and more chaos. I live in an unstable world that is unlikely to ever become coherent.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Not sure! I'm very new. I'm fascinated with the history and culture of South Asia. Bouncing from couch to couch would be way useful for a South Asia or a European trip.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Shall have to see.
Interests
Everything and anything.
Surreal and disturbing mindtrips particularly intrigue me. Stories either so complex or so swarmed with symbols that you can't understand them, and I'm almost alway interested.
I love noir madness, wherein a character becomes insane. I'm bonded to the Traveler of the Ways partly because of it.

Music, Movies, and Books
My admiration of the original cyberpunks, like John Brunner, William Gibson and Bruce Sterling is becoming ever stronger.
I have so many favorite books, but the books I often go back and reread, either scenes or entirely: Summer Knight, Death Masks, The Dragon Knight series, American Gods, Neuromancer, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (forgotten some of it, should read it again), All The Weyrs of Pern, Stand on Zanzibar, The Whole Man, The Wheel of Time, The Lord of the Rings, Alastair Reynolds!!, Amanda Downum!!
Music: Kamelot, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica. Music with orchestra, yeah.
To add a tag on here, science fiction and fantasy are my two main interests in books. That, and history.
TV: Angel (Investigations), Battlestar Galactica 2K3, Farscape, GitS: Stand Alone Complex, Xamdou: Lost Memories, Claymore
