Name: Mailin Thiers
Age: 21
Place of Living: Northern Germany
Occupation: Photography apprentice first year
What are your hobbies?
Crawling through mudd, on the street or other nice places to take the picture I want to have, talking to my boyfriend on the phone (for hours), going out for concerts, festivals or just to meet my friends, run away from spiders, travelling and meeting my Elftown friends, dress up for photos, read, do some stuff with Photoshop, meditate, talk on the phone or just being outside in the woods.
I made the new experience that RPG's are a lot of fun too. I like the ones in real life more (no, not the dressing up stuff) than the ones on the internet, sadly it is hard to find these kind of nerds outside of Canada, so since I am in Germany, I don't have the chance very often.
How did you end up on Elftown?
My dear friend [
Nyaah*] introduced it to my friend [
Yiwerra], who forced me to log in :P
What do you like most about fantasy: writing, images, reading etc.
Well, fantasy itself is what I love.
No matter if it is written down or drawn. It is something special that one human is sharing with the rest of the world. Their dreams, fantasies, fetishes, fears or likes.
It is amazing!
What are your dreams?
Well ... I really really want to become a professional photographer one day. I got accepted for an apprenticeship
, so let's hope for the best!
What else? The typical family dream maybe?
Marrying my boyfriend, living in a house in the countryside with lots of animals.
Travelling ...
It is a lot but one thing I really would like to learn is scuba diving! :D
It is a dream of mine to go to a hot, tropical island to dive in the sea *dreams*
Probably I will have to work hard for it but it is a dream right?
So is Tibet.
Tibet, sounds very spiritual! Do you have a certain religion/belief?
Pretty much the northern mythologies and spiritual things.
Though I am a bit more into physics there, in the meaning of magnetism and pure power like a lightning has, still I do believe in my own things. The unexplainable phenomenons *^.^*
Personally I don't go for the "one god" religion or the god thing itself. I do not think that any "creature" or however you want to call it, is authorized to lead a whole existence.
Also Christianity destroyed the old tales and switched them around.
A lot of pain and destruction came with it, for instance burning poor midwives or other females, who tried to help.
I do not mean the religion itself, more the human beings and what they made out of it. Pretty sad actually because I think it might have been a good one, in a different way.
This is just my point of view and I respect it, that others believe in other religions or don't believe at all.
Also I'd really like to study a few Buddhistical ways of living. I gave up on it a few years ago, when "paganism" came along my way.
Though I think it all works hand in hand, since the Celts were in Asia a long time ago. I never finished a book I was reading, about Celtic Shamanism and the way of the Celts ... I think I should do that soon o.O
During the interview we conversed about Europeans and Scandinavians:
Heavy metal festivals are a good place to meet Scandinavians ;)
Do you like heavy metal?
Hmm, I have a very mixed taste in music but well metal is a big part of it ^^
Sometimes I need the screaming, it releases me from anger and things like that. Since I am not able to afford martial arts right now and I am not able to go dancing everytime I'd like to, I have to use the music for it! :D
I'm not very good at metal moves, how about you? :P
Metal moves? Head banging? :P
I tend to fall over if I am doing that for too long ;)
Oooh but I love moshing once in a while, it feels good as long as the people aren't too brutal :S
Sadly I stopped karate a few years ago: I used to be pretty strong even if I am that small and thin ;)
Karate? For how long did you practice it?
The first time I started karate I was 11, I stopped with 13, I think, because all of a sudden I was interested in other things :P
So later on I took classes at school and then again.
I don't really know ... it is not really my type of sports. I am pretty flexible and fast, I don't like the confrontation type of thing. I'd rather learn an Asian style (is karate Asian? O.o) ... something that's faster and deals with balance. Kick boxing also isn't much my thing ... Russian martial arts ... no no no.
What's really awesome is capoeira but very hard to learn as well. It takes a long time of practise and I am very impatient :S

...On with the general questions...:
How were the graphics/pictures on your house made?
I take all of my pictures, sometimes I edit them with Photoshop or another program.
Photography is my true love though *^.^*
How often do you update your house?
I was used to do that at least once a week, but now I am quite satisfied with it ... let's see how long that will last ;)
What is it you do mostly on Elftown? (chat/build/wiki’s etc.)
Usually I talk to people, my house is a safe zone for every person who comes by to see it or to talk to me.
I also love making wiki's. I started a RPG with my dear friend [moira hawthorne] and I am writing a story with the dear [Trennas].
Also I am a big fan of contests.
Is there a particular thing you like about Elftown, such as a specific wiki?
Wow, here are many many many great wiki's! I especially like the art wiki's of people. It is where they put the most effort in and which shows so much of the person.
I am a member of many other wiki's though, latest thing I joined is the Body Image wiki.
Is there a member who’s house you really like yourself? Why do you like that house?
I made the decision that it is too hard to pick only a few of the best houses, because some people might feel left out or something, so I am just going to submit one house and it will be the house of my friend [moira hawthorne] because she has so many cool things in it. Almost her whole life, her art, her family and all the new contest updates! Thumbs up, Moira! :D
Have any critique/comments/suggestions/admiration etc. on a specific Elftown matter?
I love Elftown how it is *^.^*
What is your message to all Elftowners?
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
- Buddha
Last:
