About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat. Drink. Be happy as a kitten high on catnip. Yay!

ABOUT ME

I'm currently 24 and I work as a nurse at one of europes premier Cancer-hospitals, I'm a part-time "journalist" in the local student radio, I work with different nursing-related stuff like actual nursing and politics, I play the bass in a weird band and I am generally a great guy. Yes. Grandmothers and cats love me.

I enjoy helping people out in any way possible, so my apartment is always open to my friends for food, sleep or a quick hug. I am a great hugger. Why not open up my arms for complete strangers? As weird people say, a stranger is just a friend you haven't talked to yet. Or something.

Other random facts: I have a turtle by the name of Snickers and a otter named Fredrik. I have worked as a chef, so I can cook. I know my way around Oslo and I know how to make money last in one of the worlds most expensive cities. I have an extensive collection of t-shirts. I like cats, but in a cruel twist of fate I am allergic to them.

PHILOSOPHY

Why not? I have nothing better to do...

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to almost any type of music. My band plays weird music. Check them out at www.myspace.com/rulleekteband . Books... I like Hemingway, Bukowski, Bryson and the books I have to read as a part of my education. Yes. Anatomy is fun! You can scare friends with pictures of gross bodily fluids! Hurrah! And I have a small but respectable collection of DVDs. Lots of varied movies. And a big tv. With an X-box for rainy days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first childbirth I witnessed was pretty cool. Being a nurse has its perks. Oh, and I have a thing for sunsets.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can learn you a lot about history, arts, science cooking and life in general, I think. And I share hugs. Yay!
