About Me:
Happily Taken =]
Umm, ok my name's Christian, I’m 21 years of old and I lives in merry old England (lots of old, not so much merry)...oh, and one of my favourite things to do is to intentionally corrupt my grammar, so no need to correct me, I (probably) know what I’m doing. I recently underwent a major rethink of my future and I now study Medieval and Modern history (anyone wanting to discuss medieval history will be welcomed with open arms- my areas of interest include High to late medieval history- the houses of Wessex, Normandy, Plantagenet and Valois, the Norman conquest, the history of the crusades, the Anarchy, The Barons' Revolt, Edwardian England, The Black Death and The Hundred Years War) and literature at the University of Huddersfield (where I now live) as well as a teaching diploma however originally I am from Leicestershire. There's nothing more I like of an evening than playing my piano, reading something inspiring or even better, trying to write something of my own. I have a musical knowledge and fervour which is little less than encyclopaedic in nature; I’ll listen to almost anything at least once. I have a loop of steel in my bottom left lip, i'm bisexual and have been forever; I really like princesses. umm....Write to me if you wish
I also like weird looking trees, the idea of whale watching with a certain someone, creepy British armor and such, and Ashley.
Naturally.
Also, anybody looking to learn more about the philosophy of Karl Marx, i have recently completed a small book on the subject as part of my History degree, should you desire an e-copy please do request one and i shall be happy to oblige. All work subject to local and international copyright and plagiarism laws (University makes me add the disclaimer there, sorry)
Also, there's around a 90% chance i'll be living in Colorado (Boulder specifically) on a teaching placement in 2010 so if anybody there should care to befriend and help to settle in a nervous, english trainee teacher if i do end up there i'd be most grateful =]
'there can be no true beauty without decay'
Auch, ich suche deutschesprachigen Breifreunden
Because Ashley will hate me if I don’t put this back
I sent you a wish last night.
Just for you.
While you were sleeping,
And I was awake,
I sent it marked and wrapped.
I tapped it with kisses.
When it was gone I missed it.
Did you get my wish?
You never replied.
Although you didn’t need to,
I’d have liked it if you had.
I feel less complete now, but satisfied.
I fell asleep when it was done.
I was tired.
So just in case it was lost in transit,
Just to check,
What did it feel like to receive?
Could you believe it?
Did you laugh? Or cry?
Did you sleep through it?
Did you weep?
Really, I’d like a reply.
I’d like to know why
I’m without a soul.
You never said a word.
I never heard a thank you,
Or a murmur.
It was a gift you couldn’t compare.
Just something I drummed up
In my sleepy time.

Requests:
Anyone interested in discussing literature/cultural differences etc. Philosophical and linguistic discussions are also most desired, I speak German fluently and french well and obviously english too (well, if you count a heavily corrupted dichotomy of cambridgian standard english with a sort of mockney idiocy as english of course lol). i speak some japanese but i'm afraid my skills there are
somewhat limited
Oh, and i would be especially interested in talking with fans of The Smiths/Morrissey, Russell Brand/Matt Morgan and Noel Fielding/Julian Barrat. Oh, and if you think you can quote 'Withnail and I' as well as i can, please do say hello haha
.
Essentially, i always reply so you never know, i might be quite interesting lol
I changed....this =]

Language Exchange Requests:
My father is German so i learned german as a second mother tongue, i have experience of teaching language as well. My French is reasonably good but i would like to improve it.
Interests, Hobbies, etc.:
Literature (Shakespeare, Wordsworth, S.T Coleridge, Kurt Vonnegut, Leo Tolstoy, Robert Frost, too many to list in fact)
Music- I play piano but listen to almost every genre
Languages- I'm pretty fluent in German but i'm interested in trying others
Comedians and comedy are a vital part of my identity as well. This is mostly because i feel comedians say the things we all want or even need to say, but dare not. Anyone wanting to know why British comedy is the best in the world, two words for you: Russell Brand

Favorite Quotes:
Brute animals have the vowel sounds; man only can utter consonants. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge
My father was a very sentimental man and like all sentimental people, he was very cruel- Ernest Hemingway
If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind.- Kurt Vonnegut
Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To me religion seems like a bunch of people talking to their imaginary friend...at length- Dylan Moran
"Man is a Religious Animal. Man is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion -- several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.... The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste."- Mark Twain
"I emerged from the womb, right, I was wearing a top hat and I had a cane and said: "Mother, that was an awkward and embarrassing birth. You should be ashamed of yourself dear. Now pull your nightie down; that doctor looks salacious." Then I trotted off outside, met up with Ken Williams and we both had tea, and we looked down at our dinkles with disgust."- Russell Brand
In an infinite universe; eternal time, why just do what people tell you? 'ave a laugh; do what you want- Russell Brand
When asked what he puts on his hair:
"Mostly orphans' tears, old clock parts, lizard's tails, spit, the concept of freedom; all up there, all shooshed up right nice and tight, like a bonfire that's never actually burned... it mutters follicular oddities into my mind." - Russell Brand
So what if I sexualize things? I'll sexualize you in a minute!"- Russell Brand
'I'm Matt Morgan reviewing culture it seems a bit odd, when i've had no education, don't understand the situation... and culture to me is anathema' -Russell Brand singing about Matt's cultural review
(yes, i know i have alot by Messer Brand but the man's a genius)
Is it wrong not to always be glad ?
No, its not wrong - but I must add. How can someone so young sing words so sad ? - Morrissey (Sheila Take A Bow lyrics)
He ended up like so many of them do, back on the streets of New York City
In a soup queue, a dopefiend, a slave, then prison, then the madhouse, then the grave
Ah poor Larry
- Nick Cave (Dig!!!Lazarus Dig!!! lyrics)
I decree that life is simply taking and not giving. England is mine, it owes me a living- Morrissey (Still Ill Lyrics)
Your heart is a weapon the size of your fist. Keep fighting. Keep loving

Hallo Christian,
I ve been going through quite a few profiles today, I think I ll give you the gold medal :)
I m here (not only) looking for native English speakers because although I m quite proficient in English, now that I have to teach it, I see I ve got some gaps here and there, I come across words or expressions my students use where I say, hey, is that acceptable?
N.B.: I was told my profile looks a bit fake, that may be because my children helped me edit it!!!
Ach so, Du wolltest ja deutsche Brieffreunde, kannst Du auch haben!
