Ernest Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short-story writer and journalist. Known for an economical, understated style that significantly influenced later 20th-century writers, he is often romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle, and outspoken and blunt public image. Most of Hemingway's works were published between the mid-1920s and mid-1950s; these included seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works. His debut novel The Sun Also Rises was published in 1926. His wartime experiences as an ambulance driver on the Italian Front in World War I formed the basis for his 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms, and he drew on his experience as a journalist in the Spanish Civil War for his 1940 novel For Whom the Bell Tolls. Hemingway was with Allied troops as a journalist at the Normandy landings and the liberation of Paris. He was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. ( Full article...)

Not much to say really other than my favourite music genre is rock (more specifically Post-Hardcore Rock or Metal), my favourite pet is the Mongolian gerbil, my favourite colour is red and my favourite food is fish.
My favourite bands are Red Hot Chili Peppers, System of a Down, Nightwish, Panic! at the Disco, Trivium, Enter Shikari and Sepultura.
My Favourite shade of the colour red is crimson.
My favourite type of fish is tuna.
