• I am 24, part-time working student in the Czech Republic (Central Europe)
• I love fantasy and fantasy books above all else - I collect fantasy books, now have something above 650 of them ;)
• of course I read all the time, sometimes 3 books at once :)
• my other passion is: computers, or to be more exact, web design of my pages (HTML, CSS and PHP) - I am not much of a pro, but I really enjoy it
• I also "do" experimental archaeology (stoneage to ironage) with a group of around 30 kids and 10 more or so adults - our group has almost 30 years of tradition
• my latest obsession is Japan and Japanese - I started learning the language (not far yet ;P), reading some thematic books, preparing bento every day and I am trying to organize my life a bit better - a silly thing to do because of few anime films, is it not? :)
• favorite food&drink: meat, foreign sweets/snacks, thick hot chocolate
• favorite animal: wolf and sheep (more wolfish than sheepish, mind you ;))
• strange fact: socially shy, misantropic
• latest pleasant dicoveries: smell of verbena, I actually enjoy my school!

Whole Lotta Swappa

• anything Japan related: kawaii stuff (memo pads are what I crave most but stickers, decotapes or loose sheets of memos are also great, heck anything kawaii is great), patterned origami papers (if you managed to get some doublesided, I would be in heaven ;)), washi, novelty items, ephemera...), bento supplies (I would really love some dressing cups, small food cups or furoshiki/bento bag)
