Well, to sum up, I don't have a life.
There, I said it.
I like to read but definitely not the classics. For me it's Black Library, a couple of magazines, the odd book about some subject that catches my interest for a while and war history. Although the last category seems to diminish at an accelerating rate these years as I have less and less of energy to do anything that requires applying myself. Oh, and gaming books & RPG adventures if they count.
I am a lazy painter as I don't like to spend hours doing a single mini. If I did that I would never get to game. Besides wargames I like RPGs.
I like to play with words, twist the meaning of sentences and terms with subtle changes and tell bad puns and jokes.
I was unhappily married for way too long and am, at present, divorced and all things considered very likely to stay single. I have three children aged 14, 12 and 7. The oldest (a daughter) just decided she wants as little to do with me, myself and I as possible.
I graduated from university and am, in theory, and experienced software engineer but the reality is unfortunately far less flattering. At present I have been in a temp job since last May and have no idea whether it will continue beyond the end of April.
I like cartoons like classic Roadrunner, Pink Panther, Scooby Doo, G1 Transformers, Clone Wars, Zoids and so on. But the greatest cartoon of all time for me is Phineas and Ferb. I love it. Jeff marsh & Dan Povenmire are my heroes.
I would like to draw but I lack talent, creativity and, more importantly, the preserverance to practice.
I listen to many kinds of music from classical to pop, digital, punk, heavy metal and a few odd things like "Alamaailman Vasarat", a Finnish band I bet none of you has ever heard about. Oh, and definitely some Blues as well.
My greatest achievements in life are writing a few articles for Incoming!, the original SoB armylist for NetEpic and co-authoring the Finnish armylists for Flames of War. So as you can see I really have not done much.
I don't like sports and can't understand the people who get their endorphin rushes from torturing themselves like that.
And no, I don't even like to watch sports.
At the tender age of 40 I still have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. I am a very contradictory personality which makes it difficult for me to actually belong anywhere. I have very nerdy hobbies but lack the tech savvy and intellect usually attributed to them. I would like to learn several things but am way too comfort loving and lazy to actually push myself to achieve those things. I'm a perfectionist yet like to cut corners whenever I can get away with it. Yet still I have a strong sense of duty. Combine all this with a self-esteem and -confidence blasted to atoms, sarcastic demeanor, cynical-depressive streak several miles wide plus a tendency to whine about how pitiful I am and you get the idea why I don't have many friends. 9,5 out of 10 people would label me a loser. I'd very much like to win several millions in a lottery so I could have the rest of my life as free time.
