Introduction

Hi and welcome to my blog :)
I already had a blog, but it was in Slovene and it's also been a while since I've posted anything in it.
Firstly: my name is Rok, I live with my girlfriend in Solkan, a small Slovenian town, I'm 25 and a student.
To start off this blog I decided to write a bit of about my interest, so you can see what I'll may be writing about.

School
I'm a social work undergraduate with a few months to go till my graduation. I'm planning on graduating in January. I'm currently writing my thesis and a research paper. Both are dealing with social work and web applications, specifically how can social workers use them in their work. This field isn't covered much in my language, so I'm quite excited about writing about this. That's what also got me into blog researching.

Video games
I like to play video games ^^ From September 07 to spring 08 I mostly played Guild Wars, maximizing some titles. I maxed 13 and had a few more in the work, but then I got frustrated over something and stopped playing altogether. Now I slowly started again a bit, finishing a HM mission.
After having stopped playing GW I started playing my DS. At first it was Digimon, then Mario Kart, Professor Layton... Now I'm juggling with three great games: The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy IV and Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness. I've actually already finished TWEWY, now I'm just mastering my pins and doing the after story. FFIV and HM:IoH are both at the beginning, but halve both already captivated me.
Other stuff I like to play: Pokemon (I also run a website in Slovene), Super Smash Bros., different RPG/FRP, building games.

Series
I like to watch (american) tv series, but because I live where I live, we either get them later than in the USA (usually a year later) or not at all. That's why I download them, to keep myself up to date. But not all. Some series I watch when they air over here.
Things I watch downloaded: Heroes, House MD, Supernatural, Smallville, Lost. They are all great, except for Smallville, which I keep watching because.... not really sure, actually...
Things I watch when it airs: Desperte Housewives, Ugly Betty, all CSI, Cold Case, Without a Trace.

Anime
Me and my girlfriend love anime! Or at least we used to. There was a time when we downloaded more than we could watch. Then for about a year we completely stooped. And now we started again. First we looked at AniDB to see what new stuff is cool and from there we got to AnimeReactor and started to watch the awarded anime of 2007. So far we watched Death Note, Seirei no moribito and Kanon. Kanon is from the same people as Air and one can really tell almost immediately, as the graphics and music are very alike. But, unlike Air, Kanon has a good story!

That's it from me for now, see ya ;-)
