Terje, or whatever he’s calling himself this week, is a averagely intelligent, averagely handsome, averagely young Norwegian man. He’s a student at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, where he studies neither science nor technology, but rather history and English. He’s also got a BA in Social Studies, and hopes to the gods he won’t have to use these qualifications for teaching.

In his heart, Terje nurtures and harbours a dream about getting a grip on himself, improving his self-discipline, and taking a MA in either history or archaeology. Some nights, when he is especially satisfied with his own studying, Terje even hallucinates of a PhD position and a life of research into everything old and mouldy.

When not studying, Terje enjoys kicking back with a good book, movie or television show — reviews of which can for the most part be found here –, preferably of the fantastical variety. Science fiction works for him, too, but if he can choose, he’ll usually go for fantasy. Not that Terje is much of a romantic — he’s too much of a misantropic cynic and has studied way too much history for that — he just likes the whole genre fiction thing, and of all genres, fantasy and science fiction are the ones with potential for the largest scope.

Politically, Terje is a liberal Scandinavian social democrat, but he doesn’t talk much about that. He likes to think about it, but not talk.
