Don't know really what to say about myself.

I lurked for a long while, then posted a little. Mostly drawings of robots I had nowehere to show. For example:




Then I went back to lurking. I still draw, though, but not just robots :)

Olives, spiders and sloths
I can't touch olives or have them near me, they disgust me.
Spiders just deserve extinction.
I've never seen a sloth in person, but those bears scare me so much. I guess they are like zombies: ugly, deadly, but really slow, so I guess I'm safe by now...

» This book changed my life

"The warrior trilogy: Warrior: En garde. Vol1" from the Battletech series
The first sci-fi book I ever read, come on. It was one of the first books I enjoyed in a personal level, and not just "ok, I read a book and it was nice." It's not entirely about the book. Ok, maybe because of that book I discovered the battletech series, the true pleasure that is reading, and entered the science fiction world. But it's more about the memories I have of the times I read it.

I don't know how old I was, probably nine or ten, and I borrowed it from my brother. Why? No idea. I'll ask him if he remembers.

One afternoon on my school's library I decided to start it. I remember that afternoon so well. Every time I read the prologue I imagine things the same way I did the first time. (Even after reading it a second time and finding out that the descriptions didn't fit what I had in my mind, like, i've always imagined a character with dark hair, when the book clearly says he's blonde, but apparently i didn't notice the first time and now its too late to change that detail)

I remember one of my friends sitting in front of me, after browsing through the books of the library, and bored because she couldn't find anything that interested her. She saw me reading the book with great interest, and asked me where I took it from. I said I had brought it from home.

It's been years since I've been to my old school, and I stopped seeing that friend years ago (and i'm glad about it.) More than the story and the content of the book it's the book itself, everything.

I have it in my hands right now. It's only ten years old, but for me it's an eternity. It still has the price label in pesetas, the spanish currency before the euro xD The page 331 has always been broken, and I could never read what happened there.

I guess this could also fit in last week's QOTW, because now that i think about it I want to keep this book. I hope that when my brother finds a place of his own he lets me keep these books...
