Name (that you go by): You can call me Volo

Age: 17,5

Occupation: high school student

Future Aspirations: Nothing as such. I'll see what happens and where I end up and then decide whether it was good or bad. The current joke is that I'll study every science in universities for the rest of my life.

Goal in life: As for now, nothing much. Not to create too much havoc and keep to my ideals.

Short term goals: Fall asleep in 45 minutes (22:00 I'm doomed to fail) so I could be more awake tomorrow than today.

Passion: For the past year, nothing. I guess a slight passion for learning, creating weird ideals and sticking to them.

Hobbies: Hard one too. I don't have hobbies as such, but as I and a friend decided to call them, some manners of living. Reading books, listening to music, carrying a camera with me, eating, complaining to new friends, trying not to waste my time by playing computer games (notice self-irony). A passive lifestyle, I've become to like it.

Famous for (okay this is where you get to brag about yourself): ...once being a very active person in Protu-circles. I constantly wonder about that, because the truth is that I never did do anything. I'm pretty sure I have a general reputation of being "that weird guy".

Fave book(s): Mostly high fantasy. I prefer dark art.

Fave movie: I have a special, nearly patriotic, loving for 70/80s Soviet films. I enjoy slightly artsy or weird films more than the basic Hollywood stuff. On the other hand, I'm not that strict with my likes and dislikes.

Fave sport: Sports can be enjoyable if the goal is to have fun. I don't do any kind of sports myself and pretty much dislike all serious compeditive sports. The whole idea feels so utterly wrong.

Fave store: The only category I have a favourite store from is music, and cheese (that's from the market). Clothes and books I very rarelly buy.

Fave music: Also waried. Nothing too poppy, rappy, hiphoppy or generally happy (because sad is the happy for deep people ), but otherwise pretty much anything goes. I've heard good and bad songs from every genre, currently have 8873 songs on my computer (bless the state libraries) and am listening to Sibelius at the moment. The most I like experimental music, something that no other band does, a distinctive sound.

What you can't stand: I can stand it, but the badly thought sentimental or conservative attitudes people have do drive me mad sometimes. For my own reasons I try to be arrogant myself quite a lot, but that's also something I'm very annoyed by. Surely, greed the most.

What you plain dislike: Travelling, being spoken over...

Who you admire: People who have a goal in their life; who are good in something but don't think less of others who aren't; who have similar thoughts compared to mine.

What you most love to do: Being with friends, doesn't matter much which friends as long as they aren't too sentimental, but somewhat melancholic. Feeling good about being honest. Diving into a good book or hearing some very good song. Feeling beauty in surprising things.

Your self-confessed flaws: A certain lack of feelings and understanding the way people want it. A self-destructive wish to know everything.

What intrigues/fascinates you: Two years ago I wrote "many things", nowadays "nothing really" ...especially much. I'm quite fascinated by most things, but not to a high extend.

What scares you: That one day I might either lose my ideals or become too strong in them. Generally that I or people close to me will become sad or start thinking "wrong". I have an irrational (probably) fear for snakes and the underwater world. Somewhat that my closest friend will go to the States as an exchange student for a year.

Quotation to live by: I have a bad memory for words and sentences so nothing comes to my mind at the moment. And anyway, I've always liked sarcastic, self-ironic, dark, destructive quotations more than those by which I'd like to live by. "Oh well..."

Additional comments: I'm hairier than you.
