I delete comments only if they contain bad language or if someone claims to be offended for reasons other than that. Depending on the context I sometimes delete the replies, too. I don't hold any responsibility for links mentioned on my profile. They - as most of these photos - are not mine after all! All of the photos here are either mine or I was granted permission to use them. - Doris Schlapansky

Interests

My Hobbies: are reading, chatting, writing stories and poems, learning foreign languages, playing the guitar, singing and painting. I know it may sound strange, but one of my hobbies is to discuss any subject whatsoever, since I like finding arguments to support my points of view. In addition I like watching musicals and plays. I don't know if you really can call this a hobby, but I like showing that I'm an ambitious girl.

Things I Like: In my opinion, becoming acquainted with other people is a lot of fun and exciting. I try to help people and animals from my surrounding as well (and if you are interested in it I can give you some websites of organizations that also help them, e.g. "http://www.streetchildafrica.org.uk/"). I'm happy when I can do anything for them. Betimes I support different organizations that help poor people or animals too. Of course I also like my family and my friends. In my opinion the tropical rainforest is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It's the habitat of many endangered, beautiful and important animals. So it's such a shame that more and more of it gets destroyed. Here you can find more information and ideas to help "http://www.saveourearth.co.uk/soe_article.php?id=59" and "http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/935075622". However you can also visit "http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/orangutan.html". I like people who don't mind that I mind;) when people misuse the name of God-by saying "Oh my G...d!" or "G...d... it!" for example-and even take me serious when I tell them that I don't like them using expressions like this or swear words.

Things I Dislike: I try to avoid argues with the people from my surroundings since I just want peace. Also I hate things like blasphemy or people who make fun of religious subjects. ( I mean...Geez! You accuse religious people of being intolerant towards atheists and yet you are not willing to show respect and tolerance towards them. ) Nor do I tolerate racial prejudices, drugs, alcohol, violence, recklessness, bullying, undemocratic countries, parties or just undemocratic people etc. ... and depending on the situation I usually don't like lies (I'm not talking about the song "Lies" ;) ). Since it is rude and also dull, I despise people who curse just because they want to get attention or because they try to be cool...By the way there isn't a reason to curse when you're angry either: I know a few cases in which people were able to train themselves to use alternatives to cursing words, like saying funk instead of ... or ship instead of *** :D. In my opinion this is far cooler than ordinary cursing words and it also helps at least as much in letting out one's anger. Some people even allow free play to their anger by only imitating the beeping sound you can sometimes hear when they curse on TV. :D On the other hand I think the latter only helps when your anger isn't that strong. Though there still are people who claim it to be healthy to curse, there are scientists who say this is wrong and also according to my personal experience I agree on the latter, so I just don't see any sense in using rude words like that.

Favorite Color: I like dark blue, yellow and orange!

Favorite Food: I like all sorts of noodle casseroles.

Favorite Drink: of mine is orange juice!

Favorite Music: I often listen to the CD "Artists united for Haiti-Are you listening". However at the moment my favorite CD is "Helping Haiti/Everybody Hurts", not only because I like the song and most of the singers involved, but also because it's good that they do a project like this to help Haiti. Other CD's I like are "Hope for Haiti Now"-which is sung by various artists aswell-and "We Are the World 25 for Haiti", since I like the song and the new performance of the artists. By the way I prefer happy songs to sad ones, so I like this song, too: Apart from that I'm rather open-minded and I listen to songs from every musical genre.

Favorite Movie: My favorite movies are documentations like "National Geographic: Really Wild Animals - Totally Tropical Rain Forest" and "The End of the Line" (not only because of the amazing shoots used there) but to be honest I prefer books to movies: I love reading them in every language I know. My favorite book is "Traitor" by Gudrun Pausewang which I read in my native language and in English. After reading this you may guess that most of the books I read are based on true stories. "The Traitor" for example is based on World War 2. Especially eye-witness accounts are interesting for me, e.g. "Eyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in the Gas Chambers" written by Filip Muller. These books are useful for everyone who wants to learn about history and read exciting novels at the same time. I also like stories I can translate into my own life: Such as when a person (no matter whether it's a villain or any other person) makes a mistake, regretts it and tries to recompense everything (also called dynamic character): Such as me! I think a lot about my past-the things I said and did-and I try to make everything (as far as it's possible) better in the future. So reading these books also helped me in my development.
