My name is Ileana (but please call me ily); I`m 19 years old and studying IT&Computer Science at a university in Romania.How would you describe your personality?
I see myself as a very complex person so this is pretty hard for me to explain. What got me playing was, of course, my curiosity. Also I`m terribly determined (well, stubborn sounds bad). For instance when I was around level 20 and I mentioned something to my boyfriend about the end of the game, he smiled and asked "What, you really think you`re going to finish it?". And then it hit me - it never once crossed my mind that I wouldn`t finish it. And I still don`t see that as very likely.
What interests have you got (beside notpr0n of course)?
Well, I love listening to music, hiking (especially camping trips), the internet, cycling etc.
What do you like to do on vacation and leisure time?
First of all relax. ^^ I love to travel and I especially like the mountains, though the seaside runs a close second. I also adore going to open-air music festivals.
Do you like to watch sports?
I see it`s a common feature for everyone to watch snooker (if any). Well, I for one am OBSESSED with snooker. xD (my favourites are Hendry and McCulloch) But only watching, my lame attempts at playing ended with a record break of -drum rolls- 7! Also I enjoy watching ice skating, curling, and soccer if one of my favourite teams is playing. I can`t stand most other sports though.
Do you like Video or Computer games? What kind of games?
I`ve never been the type of person who could play Unreal or Warcraft for hours on end. When I`m bored I`ll mostly play some Yahoo! games or something of the sort.
Do you like to read? What kind of books?
I love to read, though I often have too little time. And I love most kinds, but especially horror (I love most of Serge Brussolo`s books) and SF. I will enjoy anything as long as it`s well-written though - from Oscar Wilde to Franz Kafka. My recent read that I recommend to all of you is JK Toole - A Confederacy of Dunces. (thanks, jooly!!)
What kind of movies do you like?
I like mostly dramas, comedies, and certain horror/SF ones (the genres are being ridiculed by most movies lately =/). I love just about everything that Tom Hanks or Jim Carrey have been in. (some examples are Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Truman Show).
What kind of music?
I am a huge fan of the indie genre. That means independent bands who aren`t signed into a big record label and thus have no restraints for writing/playing, and that makes you really feel that they`re pouring their hearts into their music. I love rock (the softer kind, mostly) and pop - it has to be music with a beat, that I can dance to. Some of my current favourites are Franz Ferdinand, The White Stripes, Kaiser Chiefs, We are Scientists, The Strokes, Gorillaz, The Cure, Talking Heads etc. Mostly stuff you would hear on MTV2 UK.
Well, that`s me.. I guess. Nice meeting you, folks!
My name is Derek. Been playing notpron for about a week now and am stuck on lvl -15 (but in time i am sure ill solve it :p).
