==Interests and hobbies==
[[Image:God kväll, farbror! Hälsade pojken.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The atmosphere of [[fantasy]] worlds and [[fairy tale]]s keeps fascinating me.]]

; [[Music]] : I love music that affects me and makes me experience a feeling I enjoy - feelings such as energy, melancholy and fascination. I find that I'm affected by both [[rhythm]], [[harmony]] (vastly [[minor chord]]s), [[melody]] and instrumental/vocal skills. I can find songs I like in almost all [[music genre|musical genres]] but worth mentioning are [[film score|film music]]/[[video game music]], [[funk]] and modern-day [[music of Japan]]. Other than that, I regularly consume [[salsa music|salsa]], [[hip hop music|hip hop]], [[rock music|rock]], [[pop music|pop]], [[heavy metal music|metal]], [[classical music|classical]] and [[music of Brazil|brazilian music]], to mention a few.
; [[Dance]] : Dancing was a way for me to combine my love for music with my interest in physical movement. I'm very interested in many forms of [[street dance]], such as [[popping]], [[locking (dance)|locking]], [[breakdance|breaking]] and [[hip hop dance|hip hop new style]]. I've also been dancing [[salsa (dance)|salsa]] for many years, some [[Ballroom_dance#International_Style|international Latin ballroom]] and a little [[tango (dance)|tango]].
; [[Thinking]] : Few things are as engaging to me as thinking and [[philosophy]]. The [[universe]], [[nature]], [[politics]], [[psychology]] and the inner-workings of humans can absorb my attention and devour my waking hours in no time. In my thinking, I prefer [[logic]], [[science]] and [[simplicity]], though I accept that there are things we do not know and that true [[spirituality]] and the [[supernatural]] might exist. I'd be more than happy if they did, but I cannot assume it until I see proof. Some specific subjects that keep returning to my mind are the [[meaning of life]], [[pacifism]], [[intellectual property]], [[feminism]], [[emotions]] and [[emotional intelligence]]. I'm more afraid of ignorance and stagnation than I am of admitting that I was wrong.
; [[Chinese martial arts]] : I have always been fascinated by martial arts. Not its means of causing harm but its technical complexity and the beauty of the physical artforms that have come to surround most [[Asian martial arts|Asian martial arts]]. I have taken lessons in [[Shaolin kung fu]] and [[Chen style Tai Chi Chuan]], and are interested in the development of [[wushu (sport)|contemporary wushu]].
; [[Computer and video games]] : Throughout my youth I've been involved with various forms of digital games and interactive stories. I've always been enchanted by the atmosphere of [[Computer role-playing game|role-playing]]- and [[adventure game]]s, the skill and action connected to [[first-person shooters]] and the social possibilities of [[online gaming]]. I've also been a devoted player of [[music video game]]s, such as [[Dance Dance Revolution]], [[DrumMania]] and [[Guitar Hero]]. Lately, I've become increasingly interested in understanding [[game addiction]], the use of violence in video games and many other [[video game controversy|video game controversies]].
; [[Anime]] and [[manga]] : I seldom have time to read whole books or watch full-length movies, but I've grown to like the Japanese animation style known as anime. Most films by [[Hayao Miyazaki]] and [[Studio Ghibli]] have given me wonderful moments, and I'm easily inspired by action anime and manga with a pacifistic message, such as [[Trigun]] and [[Rurouni Kenshin]].
; Other than that... : I'm quite interested in [[nutrition]] and [[physical exercise]] in general, and I've always been entranced by [[fantasy]] stories, [[folklore]] and [[fairy tale]]s. Over the years I've realized that my interests change constantly and that they can be quite intense at times, just to switch to something completely different the next day. But I like it that way, as long as I don't get stuck in [[Perfectionism (psychology)|perfectionism]], which happens occasionally against my will.

==Wikipedia==
{{Babel-2|sv|en-3}}
I consider Wikipedia to be the overall best [[website]] in the history of [[Internet]]. It's a joy to see all this knowledge being gathered into one place that is available for everyone to see, to witness how it's constantly growing, and to even be able to contribute to it myself. This is a fine example of [[Freedom (political)|freedom]] and [[Trust_%28sociology%29|trust]] at its best and is in my opinion a great example of a working relationship between a large complex [[system]] and the people who use it. It proves that [[openness]] is effective as it automatically gives authority to people who're genuinely interested in the system or a specific part of it. I'd like to see a [[government]] that operates in similar ways.

Wikipedia is the first website that I have donated money to. If you haven't already, you should [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising do the same].
