Welcome and, please, take a seat...there's a lot of place here :)
I should probably start with something about me, but I've never been good at this kind of things.
Well, my name is Christian, but also just Chris will be fine.
If I'm not daydreaming or just procrastinating (someone said Reddit??), I pretend to be a university student!
Don't wanna bore you already so I'll just say that my degree involves a lot of math and raging moments against computers!(also known as: Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence, oh yeah...guess who's gonna build the next Skynet after messing up with the code?)
Someone said that "I do clickety-clack on keyboard and make things works" . Kinda fun, isn't it? :D
[obligatory update]
Just an heads up, for the ones (aka "noone") wondering what I'm doing in my life these days: it hasn't changed much, I must say.
I begun a Ph.D. in Computer Graphics, so yeah. Still bashing my head on a keyboard :D So, for all the people (still, I guess noone) who want to talk about rendering, 3D modeling and all that kinds of stuff..you're welcome too! ^_^
[/obligatory update]
...Well?
Still hadn't enough? Oh boy...
People tend to say that I'm funny and/or creative...people are silly! :)
Last time I took a test for the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator it told me that I'm an INTJ, which is fairly true, even if sometimes I feel like more INTP. (if you're into this kind of things, you know what I'm talking about)
I like being around nerdy people, I like nerdy things...am I a nerd? Sure thing! And proud of it, despite the seeming negative meaning that most of the people give to that word.
But I also love to do a lot of things that have little or no relation to that world.
Like, umm let's see...well, I love cooking & baking! Preparing desserts is my favourite but, as a good italian, I have some aces in my sleeve also for pasta dishes! :P
If you have some cool recipe from your country, don't be shy! Sent them to me, I'll be more than glad to try them!
Two other big passions of mine, that go very well together, are nature photography and hiking(you can see by yourself why^^).
Whenever I can I just take my trusty backpack and my Nikon and go explore the areas nearby and take shots of barely everything! I usually go alone, because people tend to get bored after my 10th shot at the same tree :P
I also love to make a lot of noise on my lovely drums!
I actually have A TON of other hobbies (you can check them in the proper section) so I'm not going to dedicate the whole page explaining them ;)
If something tickled your imagination, just message me!
I'm really open-minded about everything so, no matter who are you or whatever you could possibly wanna talk about, just do it!
I'll definitely enjoy more an exchange of messages about some obscure subject than the usual conversations that are actually empty of any real matter ;)
Well, that's all for now! Hope to hear from you soon, actual-stranger-but-potential-friend!
:)
Requests
Whoever you are, drop a message, a wall post, a photo comment, a bomb, whatever you want! :D
I don't care about your sex, age, religion, favourite food, if you have an imaginary friend or 23 fingers!
Everybody is welcome!
Update: noticed something that looks like an increasing trend. Please, don't ask me for friendship without even take the effort to send me a single message. I don't really know how to deal with that :/

Be my reminder here that I am not alone...
