About Me

CURRENT MISSION

An alien, on an expedition to discover the planet the orientals there call 'Earth'

ABOUT ME

Okey me, I have no idea how to describe myself. I guess I am just a very curious person. Always looking for new things. If you are getting to know me, but don`t know me yet, you`ll see I ask a lot of questions about you. Don`t be intimidated by that, I am not a spy trying to put your data in a secret database, I am just a curious person. Well apart from that I am the kind of person who wants to know everything, I also am a smiley person. The kind of person who finds it easy to feel comfortable, and lets the world know he is comfortable with a big old smile on his face. (No, I am not a freak who has a constant smile on his face xD). I am a talkative person, and I like almost every topic. But also don`t be uncomfortable with silence, sometimes I just prefer silence above chitchat. I am one of those rare persons who doesn`t dislike silence in company. I also can be kinda random. I love people and diversity, and love to hear about/see different cultures and how people do things differently in different parts of the world. (So far it has been mostly hearing about.) I myself I am not really a consequent person in my behavior. With which I mean I can be very energetic and laughy, but also I can be very layed-back and relaxed it depends more or less on the day you meet me =P. And I have my shy days too, yeah so I can`t really describe my personality and be a hundred percent accurate.

PHILOSOPHY

Just do what you gotta do, don`t let judgements hold you back.
