Well, ok. I've been in the spotlight for long enough. I was quite flattered that people wanted to know more about me, for better or worse. Perhaps I shattered some stereotypes, perhaps reinforced others. Who knows?

Next up is Avatar, with a messed up avatar.

A few q's to get started...

You say you are a lawyer/university student in your profile---what are you studying at university and what type of law do you practice?

What's your favorite book?

Which country/city are you from?

What thing do you LOVE about America? (You can't say ``nothing''!!!)

What the hell is your avatar?

1. I'm studying for masters degree in law at the Latvian University.
My speciality is international law, but at the moment I practice mostly public law (writing laws, participating in drafting parties) and civil law (contracts for the gov, etc).

2. "Lavondyss" by Robert Holdstock

3. I'm from Riga (the capital), Latvia.

4. Rock n roll music. And Patti Smith. And stories about native americans. And native american myths. My favourite is about the sons of the Sun.

5. Eye of Horus. An ancient Egyptian symbol.
Read about it here: http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefseyeofhorus.htm

I've lived many years along the Baltic sea coast during my childhood and that's where most people in summers go to relax, but I've not been a 'seafaring' person.
I have a dream of a two mast white sail boat though, but that's not in near future.

1. As any boy around here I have had a romantic view on them, their ways and history due to westerns and books. In USSR native americans were very popular.
Warrior people, wise in the ways of nature. All my life I've been very close to nature and one American tourist even said I look like a white native american. :D

1. It's a union like USSR was a union, but if you try hard there's a chance to make it work good for your country. There are drawbacks, but on and all I support it.

2. I don't know. Because I don't eat meat, I mostly eat Chinese and Indian foods, besides I see food as a way to get nutrition and energy and not something to slowly enjoy.
From our national foods my favourite is boiled pease with onions and stuff. The original recipe is with ham too. You eat it with kefir. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kefir

Fugu is the Japanese word for pufferfish and is also a Japanese dish prepared from the meat of pufferfish (normally species of Takifugu, Lagocephalus, or Sphoeroides) or porcupinefish of the genus Diodon. Because pufferfish is lethally poisonous if prepared incorrectly, fugu has become one of the most celebrated and notorious dishes in Japanese cuisine.
