The History or
Story Behind Me
Oh
crap, I'll have to edit the rest of this someday... God...
Aaaand... it just happens to be this day, seeing as I have some free time.
So, where should I start?
At The
Beginning, For Example
Hm,
quite right. But, the beginning of what, me wonders? Well, let me just tell
you something about me (fall asleep and I'll kill you).
The Beginning
I
was born in Poland, on a cold autumn morning on the 19th of october, 1982,
in the city of Wloclawek (naturally, none of you will be able to pronounce
it correctly, but that's ok.). We can skip my childhood, which was quite a
happy one. But, ironically, when the Wall fell and the Soviet Union became
history, bad times arrived. Unemployment reared its ugly head, so my
parents decided to seek work elsewhere. In the Netherlands.
What, The
Netherlands? Yes, The Netherlands
You
know, that small country left of Germany. Anyway, they found employment
there, while I stayed with my grandma in Poland. They sent us money, and
thank God for that, because life wasn't easy. The situation remained
unchanged until 1994. By then, my father had found a job of his liking, and
we decided to move to the Netherlands altogether.
The Big Change
I
admit, it was quite a change. New surroundings, new people, new language.
Fortunately, near our house was a school for foreigners. I spent a year
there learning the language, together with other children. After that, I
was sent to a secondary school (? I think that's the right term..), and
after six years, here I am, writing this drivel noone is going to read
anyway (you may wake up now).
And Now For My
Personality
What
kind of person am I? Good question, undoubtedly one you didn't ask. Let's
start with the 'bad' things. I tend to be quite arrogant from time to time,
and some people have called me egocentric. I lie quite a bit, but in an
inventive manner. People are know to call me a scheming bastard, and to be
quite frank they're right. There are certain kinds of people
(subcultures...) which I just can't stand, like skaters or the "yo I'm
kool mutha fucka" kind of rappers and hiphoppers. I severely dislike
punkers, for their "I'm original, just like the rest" attitude.
Beside that, I'm quite an amiable person.
What kind of music I enjoy? Well, quite a lot, actually. Classical music,
metal, rock, gothic, jazz, drum and bass, a bit of techno... Quite a bit,
as you can see. I don't have a favourite band or anything, but I am quite a
Chopin fan.
Literature, both prose and poetry, is my other hobby. Seeing as I speak
quite a few languages (tends to happen when you emigrate), I am able to say
I know a variety of literature in its original language. E.A. Poe is my
favourite writer and poet, whereas R.M. Rilke comes in second when it comes
to poetry. I also like Szymborska's poetry for her apparent simplicity,
which hides deeper meaning underneath.
Other hobbies... Pfff... Let's see... I like to draw, especially with
carbon. I'm also involved in quite a few rpg's (roleplaying games),
Warhammer being the foremost.
And, last but not least, I'm an avid pipe smoker and collector. To be quite
frank, I started smoking pipes because they seemed the perfect thing to
complete my "psuedo-intellectual" look. And they have. Just look
at the pictures!
Well, I think that about wraps it up. You now know more about me than you
should. Happy?
