Bio:Abomvubuso is a combination of two words in the isiXhosa language of South Africa, "abomvu" meaning 'red' and "ubuso" meaning 'face'; it was how my new colleagues nicknamed me shortly after my arrival to Cape Town, the name obviously showing a link with the usual colour of my face when i get drunk :)

So, [info]abomvubuso is the new username of a LJ user with a long history, succeeding [info]kollynn and [info]luvdovz , founded in 2003 and 2005 respectively. The former was my first LiveJournal, reflecting the first stage of my life, ie my childhood and teen years back in my native Iceland, before my move to UK. The latter was dedicated to my stay in London, UK (then, supposed to be permanent). But now that i've moved to Cape Town, South Africa, and wanted to start it on clear ground here, too. For further reference, see [info]kollynn , [info]luvdovz and [info]kolarchive .

MY PERSONAL ENTRIES (friends only).



Some TRIVIA: I was born on February 9th, 1982. I come from Iceland, from a town called Hafnarfjörður - the 3rd biggest town on my tiny rock in the middle of the Atlantic. Its known as the Town of Elves, or hidden people, and is the funniest place on the 64th parallel (the humorous heart of Iceland). I was born to my dad, a tourism manager (may he rest in peace) and my mom, a pharmacist. I have two elder sisters - Agnette (31, living in Strasbourg) and Frida (29, living in Stockholm) and a younger bro - Maksimur (21, living in Hafnarfjörður). I come from a very large clan with a long and turbulent history. When i was a kid, i started training skiing, then i changed it to football. A little known secret from my past is, i used to play the violin for nearly 3 years in my childhood. Ever since i could walk, i became known for always creating trouble for the ppl around me and enjoying watching them struggle out of it from aside ;} No, actually i'm a rather caring (and careful) person, and i'm a good listener. Which doesnt mean that i wont always put ppl's nerves to the test by constantly arguing for the argument's sake. All in all, its not easy to live with me.

This didnt seem to be a problem to [info]airiefairie , who happens to be the lady of my heart, the other half of me and you name it. An exceptional lady of mixed Irish/Icelandic descent. We've been together for almost 7 years now and we're married since 14.September 2005. Needless to say, she's the most precious person in the whole world, and i'm ready to die for her! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

And now, since 12.February 2008, we have a beautful little daughter, Charlotte!




I was lucky to have visited quite a lotta places around the world - be it as part of my early sporting occupation with a team called F.H., or on excursion with some pals, or visiting some relatives, or being sent on biz missions by my employers.

Visited countries
My visited countries so far (56).



More INFO: After graduating at HSÍ (the University of Iceland) i moved to London, UK, together with then my girlfriend [info]airiefairie , where we spent 3 consecutive years. Then my latest employers (a large real estates company with global investment) gave me an offer which i couldnt reject. However i had to move to the other side of the world, Cape Town in South Africa, on a 2-year mission. Happily, my (now) wife also found a Cape Town job in her domain (journalism), so here we are now...

The best picture of myself was made by one [info]doc_neuro :
"if there's one thing worse than a cretin its a pretentious trashy european cretin who thinks hes a genius"
Wow thats sooo me! :}}}


To ALL: I value ppl who have their personal opinion and who aint afraid to stand by their own decisions. My religion? I am non-religious. If there's something divine, it's you and me, and everyone. My way of thinking is 50% Nietzsche and 50% Jungian. My political orientation is pacifist, humanistic and out-of-spectre. My philosophy is that The Goal Is Not Important, The Path You Walk Is What Really Matters (Jedi!?). What moves me is sincerety, trust and loyalty. What disgusts me is ignorance and selfishness. And arrogance - though i often have to fight it myself.

My 5 most positive traits: intelligent, compassionate, loyal, inventive, sociable.
My 5 most negative traits: stubborn, arguing, unmodest, huffy, voluble.

So, in case you're ready to meet my unbearable character, you're welcome to have me as a friend. I guarantee it wont be boring even for a minute.
