born

In Göteborg, Sweden on September 7 1980

Yes please! ...oh, erm, female

1.73 m

Bright red & jet black

Blue/green/grey - I've got chameleon eyes - they keep shifting colour =)

I'm an eclectic solitairy Wiccan... so far

lives

In a great big house outside the world's most boring little dump, luckily not too far from Göteborg

family

My parents Lars and Carina, my little sister Jennifer, my little brother Richard, and my older sister Åsa... and of course the pets: Fnatte, Ludde, Zammet, Aravis, Akasha (cats), Little Baby Nothing (my gerbil) and my ratties: Buffy & Willow, and my 3-year-old Beetlebum.

loves

Chocolate, Alex James, concerts and my Docs

hates

Prejudice and injustice of all sorts

could kill

Animal abusers - I'd kill every single one of them with my own 2 hands if I had the chance.

fave tv show

I used to be a devoted X-phile, but though I still watch the show, it's just no fun without Mulder...
Buffy is a real favourite, along with Trigger Happy TV, Roswell, and a few others... But my favourite show ever has to be My So Called Life... I've got every episode on tape - I've even made backup copies :o)

fave books

I wish I could say André Gide books, but I have to admit I've only ever read one...
I love the 'Hitch Hiker's''trilogy' by Douglas Adams... have to read it every once in a while to stop me from going nuts! Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (& The Witching Hour) are also favourites, along with some of Stephen King's books... 'It' is one of the best books I've ever read! Also in the scary section is '1984' by George Orwell, brilliant book!
Caryl Chessman's books turned my world upside down for a while... I'm glad I read them, and I strongly recommend you do so, too...!
I also re-read James Herriot's books about his life as a vet every once in a while, but apart from that I read whatever I can get my hands on.
Oh, and I must not forget A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh books... so ironic, so philosophical... and Eeyore really is my soulmate!

music

Erm, Blur of course, and Suede, Broder Daniel, Håkan Hellström, Kent, Placebo, the Motorhomes, Travis, Kent, Eskobar, Republica, Marilyn Manson, Kent, Bernard Butler, the Verve, Metallica, Kent, Drain, Savage Garden, Kent, Janne Kask, H.I.M, Theatre of Tragedy, Sisters of Mercy, Kent... and occasionally, Kent.

can't stand

Narrow-mindedness, ignorance and garlic

eats

Nothing with a face

drinks

Moderately and socially

smokes

3-5 Red Prince a day

idols

Eeyore, James Dean, Marvin of the Hitch Hiker's Trilogy and Alex James... although he's more of the ideal man than the idol. Also, Rodrigo Pessoa and Ludger Beerbaum, two brilliant riders, and the world's most fantastic horse ever... Ratina Z!

obsessions

Bass players, cheese and horror movies

motto

'Dream as if you'll live forever,
Live as if you'll die today.

(Stolen from Jimmy Dean himself)
