> Me

A new moon leads me to woods of dreams and I follow
A new world waits for me; my dream, my way

Quarter life crisis?
Fumbling towards the unknown goal, searching for myself, sometimes the other. Finding the right way, getting lost now and again but believing and dreaming to find happiness and the meaning of my existence... or the answer to that something.
What do I want?

About me: I guess I'm somewhat reclusive and quiet but can be also bold and lively sometimes. I usually don't take myself too seriously but with something of rollercoaster mood, my ups and downs can be common. I like to play around, dream, ponder odd things, use my wild imagination and occasionally be sarcastic or ironic. My talking can be weird sometimes but one should not take it too seriously. I just love crazy humor. You also might spot me smiling on my own but don't worry - I haven't lost my mind (just yet). Conclusion: impossible to be understood :Þ

Few comments:

"Looks like Dido and a bit like Enya. She also looks like Princess Leia when she puts headphones on - sort of. Habits: growing her ass with midnight pizza snacks, drinking beer." -AndyPandy
[It's nice to look like someone... least like myself ;) I don't really eat pizza or drink beer that often but I admit - it's a nice hobby to grow my ass.]

"The wannabe-Irish one. Has biceps of a shot-putter." -JuiceX
[Yeah, I was sort of an athlete years ago, but my muscles... what muscles?]

"Printer is a long-legged alchie who dances wild when dips the ball." -Tj
[This must be related to minigolf. Alchie? But, but...]

"One of the nicest people I know, it's always fun to chat with her, despite her drinking problems, lol. Thanks to her fascinating yet confused mind, she'll be the main character in my best-seller novel. Make sure you're always nice to Annika, otherwise, you'll be definitely in trouble, especially if she's bigger than you - which is likely. =P" -Maria Moura (Conqueror of the World)
[Drinking problems? Oh, evil missy never fails to mock me, lol. I drink too much tea, indeed. Yep, be nice to me or I bite ...and hard 8)]

How to make a Annika

Ingredients: 1 part competetiveness 5 parts silliness 5 parts empathy

Method: Stir together in a glass tumbler with a salted rim. Add lustfulness to taste! Do not overindulge!

Now that you've read some nonsense about me, you must be curious to see how I look like. Well, I'm kind enough (he-he) to show it, so click here and you'll see my boring and tired face.

Close to home, I cannot say
Close to home, feeling so far away
