ABOUT ME

I love nature. I love books. I love quietness. I love riding on horseback over fields and meadows and mostly (preferrable) forest. I love animals. I am a hopeless romantic. Ok, now I'm saying "love it" a bit more than necessary. I could say "I like".

I am mostly shy and quiet, but I'm good at listening others saying something because they don't really think that I DO LISTEN. So I end up knowing many secrets, just because people forget that I'm in the same room with them. But I have friends, and those are best friends ever. We understand each other completely. By the way, my best friends are sisters, and our families look upon us like three sisters. I like it very much.

I have very good relationship with my mother, she is like... well, best friend. I love her very much.

I am a patriot and I can do nothing about that. I love Latvia so much that it hurts being away (hey one intersting fact- patriots of our country are dying out like dinosaurs). I'm not able to travel because I miss Latvia at the moment when I even think of traveling. I'm hopeless.

Music

I play flute, but I like bass guitar better. Again- how did this happen? I like all the big, deep instruments and end up in playing flute. How? Where has logic gone?

I listen to music every day. I can't imagine myself without it. At this moment (and it has been a looong moment- 2 years) I've settled on Muse. My classmates where in shock when they found out. I don't know why they think that I am always dead serious and I listen only to classical music. I really don't get it. The very idea about me listening to classical music all the time amazes me. Yes, I am dead serious around them because they don't understand my jokes. I had to explain all the time and ended up in being called weirdo. Its the same with my mom in her work and my two "sisters". Well, actually one sister, because youngest one goes in a "school for gifted overruled by Charles Xavier". She is a mutant and her mutation is Math (Eww). Everyone in that school understands her jokes. Lucky her. But we both (her older sister and I) are going to try hard to get in that school. I like languages and she likes physics, but I could bet that she wants to go to physics class because of their cool young male teacher. Guess I can't blame her. I can only blame him for being too cool and teaching while so young and so cool. Ok, this wasn't about music at all.

What did I want to tell about Muse?... Right, I wanted to tell why I like Muse. I like Muse because I never get bored of their music. In every song I hear something I haven't heard before (or have forgotten and suddenly remember it). I like their new album very much ("Resistance"). Especially Exogenesis Pt. 1, Uprising (but I think that's because of that show in Italy : )), United states of Eurasia, Resistance. If I would count them all it would take too much of my time.

My letter friend says, that she finds Muse depressing. It's completely different for me. Muse kind of does the effect of lifting me up, taking off dark thoughts and in summary cheering me up. The same with Beethoven and rainy days. That's who I am. Different from almost everyone I know. Even more different than usual "different".

Books

I don't like stores, I completely dislike shopping (buying clothes- eww), there is only one exeption- book stores. I could drift through them with a cloudy expression on my face forever... And ever... And ever... Stoping by one book, reading it, going to another book, reading it, and so on... Complete happiness. The problem is that I usually have no money. That's why I read them in the store, and it is not accustomed in Latvia. Sometimes I have to leave only because the guards and employees are watching me like I was a thief- I can't read anymore when they start doing that. So I spend my two and half hours in complete happiness. By the way, my bad english could be a lot worse if I wouldn't read books in english more than latvian, since books in english are cheaper. I go to stores and not library. Reason- whenever I take a book from library I usually get sick or something and not able to carry them back, so my mum has to do it. She is very busy and I don't like the idea of her runing around Riga spending her luch time.

Christopher Paolinis books. I sat till 2 a.m. and read. And I liked Inheritance very much. Too much. I couldn't stop thinking about it next few days, and of course, there had to be a test (Murphys rules). You can easily imagine what can happen if you are sitting up till 2. a.m. reading and then in test you can only think of dragons, magic, fights, magic, fights, dragons, fights, dragons, magic and have absolutely no idea how to stop thinking about it. I think that C. Paolini didn't want something like this for anyone to happen, he's just a bit too good writer.

Oh, no! How could I forget?! Probably because of the fact that I didn't have a test next day, because it was night to Saturday. My record is till 6 a.m. with "New Moon" but the latest case of thinking-I-will-read-just-few-pages-and-reading-whole-night-long-and-being-not-able-to-stop happened with "Time travelers wife". I just wanted to look inside that book because of the film. I looked in. And I continued to read it till I don't know how long. I was afraid to look in the clock when I went to sleep, because I knew my mom would ask me how long did I read. I just said "Oh, I don't know. " because I knew that she doesn't like this late night reading. I can't help it. I feel like a zombie for the next few days till I regain sleep. And then I am doing it again.

"The Host"- brilliant.

Eoin Colfer. No coments.

Cecelia Ahern. And NOT "P.S. I love you". Absolutely not. I loved "Where rainbows end" and "If you could see me now".

Tokien. Yes. Lord of the rings. And, of course "Fair Wanderer, Thou Makest Me Sicker" by Araloth the Random

C. S. Lewis and his Chronicles of Narnia.

Pride and prejudice, Jane Eyre.

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

Celia Rees. Sharon Creech.

...When my friends found out, THEY were in schock. I could say that about myself, too. KURT VONNEGUT. My dad said, that Vonnegut's good. And he is. One of the best, even with all that cursing. I mostly never curse.

But my favourite and most loved book is Bible. It's hard to talk about Bible as a book. It's Bible.

Movies

X-Men. First movie the most. And, as I'm talking about that, I completely agree, phantom-lass. I liked your story about Marie and Logan very much. Your story made me feel better, I'm very sorry that you don't own X-Men. I'm talking about your "A Dream Made of Nightmares". Fantastic work.

Pride and prejudice.

The Fall.

Lord of the Rings series.

Pirates of the Caribbean. Ben and June.

Harry Potter series (hahahahaha!- never expected that)

The men who stare at goats (,and other stupid comedies. My sisters made me look them until I started to like them. Should have resisted more, shouldn't I?...)

Serials

Gilmore girls (well, blame my sisters)

Pushing daisies

Desperate housewifes

Dr. House

Sports

Scuba diving (my dad taught me that)

Riding on horseback (my mom taught me that)

And I'm a huge Rīgas Dinamo fan. That's hockey. We just won Maskavas D., we've never done that! Ever! We fought like to escape from death and did it! 5:4!! And we lost 0:3 in the first ten minutes!! But we did it!! We’ll celebrate this evening.

One more thing about me- this sommer in Latvia there will be a song and dance festival. I will play flute in our orchestra (we will participate). Well, both our orchestras, symphonic and brass band. I’ve only had one festival before and it was great. This year it should get better because this will be the „little festival”- for students. Last one was for adults. I was told that little festivals are a lot more fun because you get to meet so many young people. But I ‘m starting to feel that I’ll go and learn in some dance club just to get in the next festivals.

I write very much. You could have guessed that by now. I write stories very much, I dream them and I can hardly show them to anyone. It just doesn't feel right because in those stories I'm puting a huge deal of my secret thoughts that lay in my sub- consciousness. I hope I wrote that right.

That's why I'm really appreciating every writer that publishes in the world- they are able to show their works to public.

BUT at the moment I'm writing a story which is quite good. And I've showed it to three (!) people. I have to improve it, and I'll do that, because I'm determined to show it at least to my best friends and dad... Actually, maybe dad isn't such a good idea...

So. This is me in general. I hope that you got the picture. :)
