Biography

I like: reading a variety of literary and less literary genres, reading poetry, smelling a book before I start reading it, watching fascinating films and leaving the theatre with goosebumps on my arms, peeling an orange in one piece, drawing or pouring myself a perfect glass of beer, breathing the foam off my coffee, being able to express myself in a language other than my mother tongue, being right, blurting out politically incorrect things just to see how people will react, being funny, laughing with silly jokes, reading in bed just before going to sleep, pouring myself a cup of tea while the water is still boiling, knocking three times at someone’s door instead of four (or two, unless I immediately proceed to three. Five is right out.), sitting up very late or quite early chattering and playing cards with friends, taking walks in an autumn or a winter forest, and visiting foreign countries and cities while not behaving like a tourist. I also thoroughly enjoy details that attract my attention, archaic language, absurd humour, various genres of music and erratic combinations thereof, Guinness, cats, the fascinating range of semantic connections between sentences that a semicolon can invoke, the sound of someone taking a bite out of an apple, wine and associated moods, and the feeling I get when I know I have learnt something.

I dislike: being too drunk to walk in a straight line, being wrong, suddenly being looked at disapprovingly by a number of people, having to explain things more than once, someone taking my picture without my previous explicit consent, and suddenly realising I have forgotten where I have put my wallet again.
