About Me:

Being from this ridiculously​ tiny country Luxembourg, I try to get myself into the mood for the "real world".​ I don't think I can describe myself at all, so I better leave that. I'd like to call myself an open-minded and misanthropic​ student, with a *slight* tendency towards obsessive behaviour at times (one name: Morrissey!).​
I am attracted to sarcasm a lot, that's what happens to you when you watch too many Larry David series. Oh and I am half-vegan..​.that word probably doesn't even exist.

PS: Half-vegan means I am somewhere between being a vegetarian and being a vegan. In addition to not eating any meat, I don't wear animal skin and I don't eat cheese out of conviction.

My motto in life: Life is too long to run. Really.
I have the writing "Still ill" tattooed on my foot. Everyone who knows why gets an extra 10 points.

*currently residing in Amsterdam*

Requests:

I'm looking for people, who do not fear to open a book once in a while, who have an obscenely good taste in music and who do not mind being slightly different.

Oh and I should maybe add that I am looking for penpals mainly (I am obsessed with getting and writing letters), but e-mails can be okay too - if you are worth it :).
And please leave some lines on why you write to me...or why you think we could become friends etc.

After some weeks of endurance and numerous one-line messages, I feel like saying this:
I don't have MSN, I don't intend to get it, I hate going out and I despise summer - that means: I am ASOCIAL  and you don't want me as your friend - i.e. I am not chatting with anyone here and I am surely no one's sweetie. So don't waste your energy on messages to me.

PS: Despite my deceiving profile name, I am a convinced ATHEIST so please, no Bible-saving​ Jesus-obsess​ed people who pretend to save this lost world of sinners! There is but one God, and his name is Morrissey.

And you should be able to write at least 5 sentences in English without a mistake.

PLUS: I am not going to save anyone by marrying them and providing them a visa. So, dream on guys and leave me alone. You really don't want to marry me.

STOP SENDING ME FRIEND REQUESTS when you a) have never talked to me and b) I would never ever to talk to you anyway! It is ridiculous that I even have to write this, but this is the way our sad world goes.

(1)I've spent a good amount of time reading your profile. (2) A lot too read though I must say I really enjoyed it. (3) I enjoyed going through your music list and checking off those I've heard of and haven't. (4) I made a mental note to look up some of those bands. (5) Oh- and as for the E.Hemingway quote, I absolootly love it.

Shucks, I guess I can't write five scentences without making a mistake. *laughs* I'm sorry I just had to after reading that in your 'requests'. I did really enjoy reading your profile though.

Just a quick note, will write more later this week.

Dustin the Turkey was this year's entrant for Ireland, it was a wonderful pisstake, but the accent was so heavy, that it was hard for some cats to get.

This is still brilliant.
