Greetings, fellow traveller!

First of all: welcome to my domain, mortal! *evil laugh*
No, just kidding, take a seat, have a cookie, you'd like some tea? Is your chair comfy enough? Good! Now, let me introduce myself in my rather unusual way.
For I'll be 100% honest with you, my friend. People usually say really few things about themselves - and so should do I, for who am I to rob your expensive time?! - and they tend to stick to the positive ones, too.

I'm a difficult person to live with. I'm rhapsodic (oh BOY how much I love this word!) - or fitful, if that suits more - tend to be moody, I'm really temperamental and I have really low self-esteem, which fuels this evil machine.
But beside that, I'm a cheerful lass, I love to play and make others play (for life's too short to pass by in zombie mode, you know?). I might seem bipolar. Maybe I am.

I'd define myself as "Homo Ludens" for many reasons:
1. I'm a gamer myself, with a gamer family (my parents play GW2, my lill' brother always something new, and I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember).
2. I'm easily motivated if something is covered as a game, so I love to give myself achievements and points and small treats if I complete something. "Here, let's take a hike on that mountain, there's such a beautyful view! Well... Nah, thanks. There's a secret chest full of loot up there... *screaming back from top* You still down there?!"
3. I like to play, really. Alone, with friends, on computer or in person, be it a board-, card-, ballgame or RPG (I play Pathfinders!). And I think you can twist your boring job into a game, too. (Just keep your borders in sight. There's room for one fool here, you know, and the job's already taken.)

To take a turn to a more brief one: I'm a student from Hungary, studiing communication and german at the time - I wanna be (a paperback writeeeeer ) a radio-reporter. Among that, I study at a creative writing program at the same university. I love to write - I want to be a writer myself one day - but I lack the motivation and the time too many times. I mostly write fantasy. I also like to draw sketches, if I spend too much time on a piece, it'll end up much worse than the sketch itself. ^^'

Long story short: I'm a complicated adult (I'll be 21 this year) with a heart of a child, and a lill' bit way too much dreamdust in the head.

I hope I didn't scare you away, you seem a good fellow. Feel free to look around! You'll eventually find something nice around here.

A sidenote, before I let you live: my native language is hungarian. I've learned german for 13 years and english for 11 - but even now I make mistakes (grammar never was my strong side in foreign languages). So please: bear with me. I'm a grammar nazi myself, and I'll eventually crucify myself for the harsh mistakes, thank you.
