Tool of self-analysis: writing. sometimes, I get all itchy and nervous unless I put something down on paper, and mostly I "commit" another one of my "infamous" pieces of "fandom"... It was almost as soon as I learned how to write that I started to turn my overbording creativity into something substantial. Actually, I've been writing as long as I've been reading. And after getting to a point where I understood English well enough to discover the whole world of fandom out there, I expanded my fantasies onto that language as well - first by the means of translations into German, soon afterwards with my first English ficlets. I'm by no means perfect, however I discovered the English language to be more apt for expressing certain topics than the German is.

And since I like using quotes, I end with a few words of one of the most famous and most insane Germans of all times... our dear Friedrich Nietzsche, nihilist philospher whose father died after stumbling over the leash of his little dog and falling ;-)

"You have to still carry chaos within you to be able to give birth to a dancing star."

" None can be as crazy that they wouldn't find someone else even crazier to understand them."
