Basic Stuff

I’m a scatter-brained lefty who lives in a small town in north Sweden.
And no, we don’t have polar bears roaming the streets. A few reindeer maybe, but no polar bears. You’d be surprised if you knew how many people actually ask me about that :P
I’m kinda shy around new people and usually don’t say much – but among friends I’m very playful and outspoken. As a result I’m not the easiest person in the world to befriend, but once you’ve managed to weasel your way into my heart you’ll be there forever.
I’m crazy stubborn, if I think I’m right I never give in! I daydream all the time, sometimes I’m afraid I spend more time inside my own head than out in the real world. I like to think I’m funny with a rather cynical sense of humour.
My step-mum Maria says that I, just like my dad, have a typical “artist personality”. I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or an insult though…

I share a 3 room flat with my boyfriend Markus. We met in 2006 when we both enrolled in the same university education and became a couple at Sweden Rock Festival 2007.

Most of my time is wasted in front of the computer. Partly because it’s my work tool, partly because I’m hopelessly addicted to it and spend a lot of time making pixelart, poking around with my websites or just surfing aimlessly around the net.
I also love to read (both books and comics) and play games on my Nintendo DS. I listen to a lot of music and like watching TV and/or movies. My favourite stuff are listed at my fanlisting collective.

But as a counterweight to all that couch-sitting I also love being outdoors.
I’m often found (or rather lost) up in the mountains or deep in the woods exploring the hidden corners of the world with my dog. Nature is my drug, I get anxious and moody if I don’t get my daily dose. How anyone can survive staying in the city all the time is a mystery to me.
