MUSIC:: I also compose orchestral music, working hard to get better and better, and maybe some day end up with talented people like Badelt, Zimmer or Elfman. In my spare time, I like to write low-fantasy stories (think GoT or the Witcher), listen do dark-folk (Wardruna, Valravn, Moon and the Nightspirit, those kinds of bands), something classical (give me Bocherrini, Bizet or Grieg everyday of the week), some good old fashioned goth rock if I'm feeling particularly nostalgic (Evanescence, 69 Eyes, HIM, Nightwish and a whole other bands on which I grew up) or something more industrial (Panzer AG, Angelspit, Ayria, to name just a few).
POLITICS:: Aside from english philology, I studied political sciences, as a labour of passion. So bear in mind, I may debate you on some things. And I'd love to. Wordlviews are forged in the fires of discussions! No worries, I'll keep in civil, if you will as well. All in all, if politics is just not your thing, that's absolutely not a problem. To be honest, I'm growing very tired of that topic, as more and more people are quick to jump to conclusions and just throw insults, without hearing the other person out.
OUTDOORS:: I grew up in a city and spent my university years in one. And that taught me to adore nature. I love camping, hiking or just simple walks in the forest (it's because of that I chose to live on the outskirts of my city). No phone, no music, just the sound of wind rushing through the leaves and the soothing smell of the forest... Nothing beats that, believe me. And if I'm not in a mood for such serenity, then I go and help around a horse ranch or train fencing with a few of my friends.
LITERATURE:: I really do enjoy a good book. Too bad they're so tough to find. Or maybe I'm just that picky? Hard to tell. I tend to stick to fantasy, as I find that particular genre most relaxing, and I was forced to read too much classical literature on the University. But I'm open to suggestions. I got suprised in a positive way more than a couple of times. Recently, I started reading about psychology and sociology and got hooked up.
GAMES:: I'm not a big gamer, but still I think it's worth to mention I really do enjoy strategy games. Not only on PC, but also of the tabletop variety. There is so many of them, and to me each and every one of them is a fascinating, modern variation of chess. The more complex, the better. I really enjoy learning different strategies and tactics (two different things, mind you).
PARTIES:: I do enjoy a good party. Something small, with a bunch of friend is great, but I also like to go wild to some good music, dance and get some good drinks (Polish vodka is the best, foght me on that
). The worst party, I can imagine is something between those two I mentioned. So something neither small or wild. It just ends up boring and annoying. ============================
