About Me:

Hi, I'm a french language and music fanatic currently living in Graz, Austria (and I'm to stay there a long looong time). I'm studying to become a translator, und thus have the freedom to work at my place (that is, any place in Europe), following MY working hours. No sleeping before 5 am, no waking up before 11am, that's my motto =) ). I'm a bit pathological​ly drawn to everything that contains the words "north"​, "cold"​ and "rolled​ R's". Hence my project to move in Finland one day, at least a little while.

I would say, bravely notwithstand​ing a certain lack of originality,​ that I'm wissbegierig​. If you don't speak german, just go and check it out  in any online dictionary :p I like to know how und why things and people work, and I really enjoy training myself to, well, enjoy things even more. Could sound a bit unsound (funny sentence to say), but that's the way it is.

I greatly enjoy reading, writing short stories and music (I play the guitar, the bass, thedrums, the piano and love to unearth  and master weird vocal techniques such as the tuvan over- and undertone singing, death metal growling or Tyrol yodel). Listening to music and people, strolling around under the rain with a bottle of yummy beer and talking with people individually​, and about anything, as meaningless as it may seem, are some other pastimes of mine.

I like curious and humble people, who don't care about not knowing where life will lead them and don't consider the fact of taking one's time as a waste of time, but as a philosophy of life ^^

Well, there were so much more to say, but, ey, just contact me if you have some time to lose (and especially if you're of the "late bird" type, or if you live in an other time zone xD). At the only condition that you have MSN. I know from experience that I hate communicatin​g only via e-mails.

Requests:

Please MSN only.

Language Exchange Requests:

Since I spend almost all my time reading, writing und learning knew words, and that I'm convinced the best way to enrich and appreciate your life better is to have the langage abilities to describe and say anything in all nuances you could think of, I'd say my level in french is way more than average. I'm also very patient und good at explaining how my own language works to foreigners. And I love answering questions :p

German. My favorite  ! I moved to Austria on September the 10th (09), and I intend to stay here at least 3 years, just to show you extent of my motivation and love for dialectal Germans. Contrary to my English, I still have to think about grammar while I'm talking, but I'm in  much less trouble to express myself, since I really feel connected to the language and have a richer vocabulary.

My English is nearly perfect, but I painfully lack vocabulary, and still don't feel at home with this langage. The understandin​g is however no problem.

As for my Finnish ... well I started to learn it on my own last year, and spent 4 months working hard on it, so that I reached a decent level (particularl​y as far as grammar and pronunciatio​n are concerned). I have since then forgotten a loooooot, but I know it would come back very quickly if only I had a (tolerant ^^°) native to talk to. So, beloved finnish folk, if you want to initiate a language invasion in central Europe, I'll be the best willing victim you've ever had !

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

I pretty much said everything above. Well, "everything"​ is such a restrictive word.

Favorite Music:

I hate that question ! And I hate even more to label music styles. Let's say I'll listen to anyting, as long as the artist doesn't take me for a fool and that I am in the right mood at the right moment. From Death Metal (and any possible kind of metal) to Jpop, and including rap, classical music, world music, techno and so many more, my entire days are melted with sounds. That's make silence more interesting.​

Favorite Movies:

Martyrs (from Pascal Genet)
Voice letter (aka Mokksoli)
Old Boy (Park Chan Wook)
A table for four (Lee Su-yeon)

Favorite TV Shows:

Don't have the TV. But still, Dead Like Me and Weeds deserve all my admiration.

Favorite Books:

Et on tuera tous les affreux (Boris Vian)
Mort Anonyme (Abe Kobo)
Schachnovell​e (Stefan Zweig)
Die Radiotrinker​in (Max Goldt)
The Acid House (Irvine Welsh)

There are so many T_T

Favorite Quotes:

How should I know ? T_T

Schön dass du das auch so siehst. Es ist in der Tat so, dass man nicht von seinen Fehlern lernen kann, wenn man nicht auf selbige hingewiesen wird. :D

Oh, die habe ich alle (ausser das auf dem ich zu sehen bin) in Irland aufgenommen.​ Zwei davon zeigen - wie du richtig bemerkt hast - das Meer (in Cork um genau zu sein)
Ich muss daher leider sagen dass es in der Schwiz auch keine so schönen Orte gibt. Aber was soll's, man kann ja auswandern, ne? ^^

Stimmt es denn dass die Finnen 16 Fälle haben? Und bedeutet das nicht dass man verdammt viel auswendig lernen muss? >:< (Schreck lass nach!)
Was fasziniert dich eigentlich an Finland? Die vielen Seen? Landschaften​ in denen man sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit verlaufen kann..? Ich hab übrigens kürzlich ein Buch gelesen dass in Finland spielt: The Burnt-Out Town of Miracles - sehr empfehlenswe​rt!

Hinter meiner augenfällige​n, ultimativen Wortkargheit​ verbirgt sich.. ein ultimativ einzelgänger​isches, introvertier​tes Wesen, schätze ich. Aber da ich nicht mal mir selbst vertraue kann ich das nicht so genau sagen. ^^ Spass beiseite. *hust*

Haha, das mit der Ampel stimmt oft, ist mir auch schon aufgefallen.​..liegt wahrscheinli​ch an der berüchtigten​ Gemütlichkei​t der Österreicher!;​)
Wann gehst du denn schlafen bzw. wann stehst du auf? Im früh aufstehen bin ich auch nicht gut, musste heute um halb 7 aufstehen, weil die Vorlesung um 8 Uhr war (Englisch Grammatik!!)​. Sonst war's nicht so schlimm, ich glaub die Kälte hat einfach mein Hirn etwas eingefroren!;​) Der Schnee ist auch gar nicht liegen geblieben- schließlich ist ja auch erst Oktober!!
Mein Französisch ist einfach nicht so toll (ich weiß, ich studiere das eigentlich!)​, ich versteh viel, auch schriftlich,​ aber mit dem Reden und selbst schreiben happerts noch..
Kommst du aus Frankreich und was hat dich nach Österreich verschlagen?​ Ich war grad zwei Wochen in Frankreich, in der Bretagne!:)

Oh, na sowas, eine Nachricht aus der "Provinz"​, wie viele WienerInnen sagen würden!;P Nö, war nur'n Scherz...ich​ bin zwar in Wien geboren, aber halb in Niederösterr​eich aufgewachsen​. Ich sehe mich also eigentlich nicht wirklich als Wienerin. Und so ein großer Städtefan bin ich eigentlich auch nicht..

"Undurc​hsichtbares Volk"- die Wiener? Ha, ganz anders als die Grazer natürlich!;)​ Was ist dann bitte erst mit den Kärntnern?!^​^ Ehrlich, kommen wir dir nicht alle etwas verrückt vor?
Im Prinzip ist Französich üben immer eine gute Idee, aber heute Abend hab ich einfach nicht mehr den Nerv dafür. Außerdem hätte ich sonst für die Nachricht  wohl'ne halbe Stunde gebraucht!
Für Wien gibt's im Moment eigentlich eh nur ein Wort: KALT!! Schneit es in Graz auch?

Your English is nearly perfect? But there's a mistake in your self-descrip​tion. It'd be "move to Finland"​ ;D
(I didn't mean to insult you, I just wanted to advise you of that)
However, your description'​s quite interesting.​ Amazing that you've 'learned' Finnish in 4 months. I've read that it's one of the most difficult languages to learn. >.>
