I was born in Europe (Timisoara, Romania), lived in Romania, Hungary, Austria and Germany but now reside in New York City.. I'm generally a shy person at first but when you get to know me, I'm as open minded as can be and open to anything new. I recently graduated from college where I studied film and art. Right now I'm working as a Graphic Designer/Illustrator. The reason for joining this site is primarily because my new work hours prevent me from going out and spending time and energy into meeting people, often times forcefully in bars and clubs. This is more or less a getaway and a more convenient and fun and less stressful opportunity to meet new people from all over the world. I'm pretty much open to all types of discourse.

Dislikes
Hollywood Studio Films, Zack Snyder, Downtown Manhattan yuppie/indie hipsters, Bar/club scene, close-mindedness, modern American conservatism, religious traditionalism/fundamentalism,... anything emo! Girls that look far too much into the mirror or their own camera lenses, girls who have too many photos of themselves, yea we know you're beautiful but if this is your raison d'etre, quite frankly you're not that interesting. Close mindedness. A form that breeds judgment. Any form of immediate rejection without an objective outlook. Mindless drunks, or people who get wasted for the sake of getting wasted, and make fools of themselves. Random dislikes: Fashion trends, people who follow them, fast food (places like McDonalds and Burger King), dishonesty, ignorance,...
