Well, I’ve been thinking of what I can do with my ‘About’ page; something that is about me. The following is simply a collection of random things that came into my head:
1. I am German.
2. I live in the UK.
3. I’ve got a high attention to detail in most of the things I do.
4. I try to help others by pointing out mistakes (part of my job).
5. This makes me appear very critical.
6. I try to avoid all arguments.
7. I love a good argument every now and then.
8. I get asked for advice a lot.
9. I give fairly good advice.
10. I can’t follow my own advice.
11. I wish I’d done more at school.
12. I wish I’d be able to speak a more exotic language than just German and English.
13. I want my English to get better.
14. I don’t like my written English.
15. I don’t like people that generalise.
16. I generalise on occasion.
17. I love playing games.
18. I own a 360 and an Xbox.
19. I will own a Wii at some point.
20. I spend too much time playing games.
21. I wish I had more time playing games.
22. I wish I’d read as many books as I used to.
23. I listen to a lot of music.
24. I listen to any type of music.
25. I hate adverts on TV.
26. Some adverts are good.
27. I am full of contradictions.
More to follow at some point. ;)
In addition, I welcome and look forward to every comment made anywhere on this blog. All comments that contain one or more links will be held in moderation and are not visible until approved. Sorry, but that is the only way I can avoid spam. :)
I will also delete/edit any comment that contains so called txt spk, apart from common abbreviations. I donn’t like people using txt spk on the internet and do not allow it on my blog. For more info, please see my ‘Save the Vowels’ post.
Thank you.
