not looking for another, so please don't message me if you want someone to date or have sex with.

i am, however, looking for new friends in hamburg. females preferable.

I like:

theatre, opera, seahorses, hula hooping, sketchbooking, thrifting, cooking, learning languages, dinner parties, shows, postcards, heated pools, travel, people watching, exploring, bike rides, psychic automatism, jewelry, board/card games, reading, picnics.

just started with bachelor's program #2, this time around in germany. i'm studying to teach english & french at gymnasium. i'm finding linguistics incredibly interesting & i feel so stupid for not having studied languages the first time i went to university.

i also recently joined the ranks of english-teaching-expats. it's nice getting a real paycheck after au pairing for nearly 2 years.

my biggest strengths are languages & cooking. i can play the piano pretty well when i practice. i'm also very detail-oriented. i used to have a retardedly good memory, but i'm finding it easier & easier to forget things the older i get...

I'm short. and I have long hair.

the future

having a beer with some coworkers & then going to bed early so i can get up saturday morning & teach some motherfucking english!

I have a dinosaur tattoo. no, you can't see it.

you like going out for a simple cup of coffee. i don't have any friends in germany who do this, but it's something that happens multiple times a week when i'm with friends in the u.s.a.

or if we have similar taste in music and you like going to shows.

or if you speak fluent french.

or if you like people-watching.

or just if you think we'd get along.
