Occupation: pianist, translator
Future Aspirations: new horizons, creating something of lasting beauty, travelling around the world
Goal in life: becoming whom I am meant to be

Passion: this site and its people; beauty in its various forms – visible, verbal, audible, edible

What you can't stand: posts that repeat what has been said 1000 times, that contain nonsense with no redeeming value, that attack others and their personal opinions, and that are just plain boring
What you plain dislike: real life interruptions when I’m enjoying myself on the internet
Who you admire: people who know exactly who they are and why they’re doing what they’re doing

Your self-confessed flaws: procrastination, inefficiency, spending way too much time here
What intrigues/fascinates you: intelligent discussions that are way over my head
What scares you: the prospect of moderating Movies after TTT comes out!
