The first to appear in my series of friend portraits is Sven-Erik, more commonly referred to as Svenne. Svenne was born and raised in Gävle (100 kms north of Uppsala), where he continues to live. He is a connoisseur of film, fine drinks and oriental faith. A devoted graphical artist that expresses himself in photography, computer art or programming code. More specifically, he works as a Flash developer. He is also a really nice guy.One of his qualities is taking a joke he just heard and give it an additional twist, which may or may not be suitable for sensitive listeners. It´s a really good "ice breaker" at parties when the conversation gets stuck on an unexciting level. When applied, we laugh at first and then conclude we mustn´t elaborate any further.
We got to know each other when attending the same program at the university of Gävle, namely Creative Programming. There, we joined forces on several student projects. Also, Svenne and I were cast in a short film by some fellow classmates, "X-Team: The Legend of the Indian Scrolls". The third protagonist was our mutual friend Hannah, which I will cover in an upcoming episode.
Svenne came down to visit this weekend for a much needed mini-vacation and we strolled around Uppsala in a disorderly fashion. On Saturday night, we joined Gunilla´s 25th birthday party and had a lot of fun chatting with her nice friends.
Svenne is really nice to be around, not hard to please and never with a picky sense of humour.
