A unique advantage of completed profiles: You don't have to go through the usual introductory banter like 'Well, what are your hobbies?', 'What kind of music do you listen to?', because that's all answered in advance. So that if you have common interests, you can start the conversation right there. This is a great advantage of getting to know someone over the internet compared to meeting them in a disco or something similar (where you only see the shell of the flesh). And you can't just give that away. =D
And if we don't have anything in common, you don't have to write to me first to find out, because then you can already find that out from this profile text. Pretty practical, isn't it? ^^
____________________________________________________________
As for my interests and hobbies, they are mainly the following:
Literature (both reading and writing myself).
Drawing and art
the history of the 19th century (but I can also tell something about ancient Greek history. =D)
I also write occasionally on my blog about the genres horror, thriller and dystopia (splatter as a subgenre of horror is and will hardly be represented there, though. Simply because I can hardly get enthusiastic about spraying guts through the air).

Georg Trakl
Guy de Maupassant
