Where to start?

I'm still a student at university though I hope to graduate in two years. I have a vague idea what to do with my life, and I'm working towards that and a few things more.

I dream of seeing the world, but have to admit that I'm a bit scared of flying. Well, it's more like I'm scared of flying until I'm on the plane. Then I'm not scared anymore and don't want it to end - ever.

I love reading and have since I was a four-year-old girl that had somehow picked up how to read. I own way too many books and my amazon wishlists are thicker than my heaviest, biggest book (probably my dictionary, which is humongous).

I like the colour green, my favourite shade is probably emerald green.

I like winter in the countryside and hate it in the city.

I prefer English to German, even though German is my native language. Kind of.

I prefer books to movies because books are like movies in my head and in my head I am the director.

I like the mediaeval times. I like to read about it - be it literary works or historical accounts, I like to reenact, I even have specialised on mediaeval studies at university.

I don't react well to being called pet names - especially not from strangers. Come to think of it, I don't react well to being called pet names by friends. I like the name given to me by my parents.

I like knitting socks in winter. I hate knitting socks in summer.

My favourite animals are frogs.

When I read a sentence like 'it is impossible to lick one's own elbow' I probably try it anyway.

I don't much like shoes and prefer to go barefoot (or with flip flops or sandals - Vienna's streets aren't that clean).

do people even bother to learn grammar and orthography these days?

there are typical Fridays? I might be at home, reading or watching a movie or just catching up on some much needed sleep, or maybe at my favourite bar drinking and partying the night away, or at some friends' flat having a nice evening. Typical Fridays? Come on.

you write more than just the usual 2-sentence-mails
