User:Anna Lincoln: Difference between revisions

Welcome to my home page at Wikipedia. You can leave me a message on my talk page. I will answer you as soon as I can.

Formerly I was user 81.33.224.177. I have also been user 80.39.36.73 (my session had expired when I committed my edition).

Disambiguation: I am not Anna M. Lincoln "catwrangler" from San Francisco, CA. I live in Spain and "Lincoln" is my middle name (I don't want to reveal my surname).

My foremost topics of interest are: Spanish literature, Spanish art, Region of Murcia, City of Murcia.

I have been a member of Wikipedia since January 2007 [1]. I have made over 8000 edits. In July 2008 Acalamari granted me rollback rights.

Things that I like: flowers, cats, dolls and sockpuppets, the rain, skirts and bracelets, chocolate, coke, listening to the radio...

Some wikipedians that I miss so much are Phaedriel and Elaragirl. I also admire LaraLove. I took the Wikipe-tan image above left from Kyoko's page.

I am not very fluent in English, so forgive me if I make mistakes. That's why I am mostly a wikifairy, because every time I work deeply on an article's text, it inevitably gets the {{copyedit}} or {{cleanup}} tag. I don't like the Spanish wikipedia because it's much smaller.

In January 2006 I was taken to hospital having a mental breakdown. I was released after seven days, and six months later I was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which basically means that I must take pills every day forever so that I don't get into depression or mania.

I've got few friends, and I go out very little, so I spend most of my free time wandering around the city, reading books, and browsing Internet and Wikipedia. That's because I'm not very good at communicating with people. Books and movies help me evade and fantasize. I don't like my job very much either (see userboxes).

I am also interested in European Union-related topics.

Existentialism is a philosophical movement which says, among other things, that nobody, nothing can tell you what you should do next in your life, because the universe is absurd and void of meaning, and each person interprets the signs of the world on his own way, extracting different conclusions. Regarding morality, it says there is no pre-established code in the universe, but it's the individual, or the human society, who decides what's right or wrong.

This quotation means to me that we should enjoy our lives right now, trusting little in the future. It evokes other sentences such as carpe diem (seize the day), collige virgo rosas (gather, girl, the roses [while you're young]), or memento mori (remember you will die), all which I pretty much agree with. Also sic transit gloria mundi (thus passes worldly glory).
