About Me:

Ok.. I'm not that good at describing myself, however, here you are, random info on me:

I'm getting a degree in Foreign Languages and Literature.

I'm a shy girl, but I do my best to be a little more extrovert.

Notwithstand​ing my being shy, I enjoy meeting new people, expecially from other countries.

Oh... I'm permanently on diet. Just like almost any woman I think!

What else.. If you want to know more, just drop a line :)

Requests:

Sex doesn't matter.. I mean, I prefer girls but boys are also welcome as long as they are really interested in building a friendship - I'm NOT looking for romance, I have a wonderful man and I don't need anything else!

Nor will I send you my money - I have so little myself!

I'd like to know people around my age, so from 20 to 30 more or less.

Interests, personality and hobbies really don't matter: I'm ok with extrovert party people as well as with quiet and thoughtful people.

My priority is Europe (expecially UK, Germany and Austria) but people from North America, Canada, Australia and Russia are welcome too!

SNAIL MAIL only, I'm pretty lazy at writing e-mails as when I'm on the web I have so many other things to do..! It would be nice (and polite, too) if you didn't disappear after the first letter.

If you're learning Italian, I'd love to help you! I know by experience what it means to struggle to learn a new language and I realise that Italian is really difficult, so just write and I'll do my best to help you!

And PLEASE.. don't send me private messages asking simply "Hi how are you can we be friends hope to hear from you". I will not reply. For this kind of things there's the wall.

** IMPORTANT **

You Bavarians are warmly welcome - I love your land and want to know as many Bavarians as possible!

** MORE IMPORTANT **

I've got many penpals at the moment. So if you're not Bavarian please.. wait for a while before writing. I'm sorry, I can hardly keep track of my penpals and I can't get new ones at the moment!

Language Exchange Requests:

I\'m Italian and I can speak my language pretty well, I can also teach you some grammar if you need it because I\'m used to doing tandem conversation​s with foreigners and to teaching them my language.

I\'m pretty good at English, I don\'t need grammar or anything like that. I\'m interested in sayings, in getting able to use phrasal verbs and so on.

As for German, I\'m a beginner actually, so anything you can teach me is warmly welcome!

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

Basically I have two great passions in my life: music and reading: as for music, enough is said in Favourite Music; as for reading, I'm fond of English Literature (expecially 18th century novelists), but I also like Italian and German (some authors only).
In winter you can often find me in a cinema with my boyfriend, and you can be sure that if there's a concert I'd really like to see distance is not a problem for me!
Recently I found out that I am something like a compulsive writer, so I hope I will find many penfriends here.

Favorite Music:

Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, AOR.

Favourite bands:
Iron Maiden, Bonfire, Dokken, Megadeth, Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath, Accept, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Malmsteen, Survivor, Axel Rudi Pell, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Vicious Rumors, Pretty Maids, Joe Lynn Turner, Liege Lord, Skid Row, White Lion, Kiss, Omen, Ratt, Savatage, Destruction,​ Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, MSG, Overkill, Exodus, Scorpions, Laaz Rockit, Saxon, Foreigner, Journey, Blue Oyster Cult, Europe, Nevermore, Y&T, Giuffria, Talisman, Ten, Magnum, Manowar, Aerosmith, Treat, AC/DC, Armored Saint [list still under construction​] i

Favorite Movies:

I love Stanley Kubrick and Quentin Tarantino, movies based on novels and anything set in the past.

Favorite TV Shows:

David Letterman Show, Dr. House, Family Guy, Sex & The City, Grey's Anatomy (not so much into it but it's nice) and some shows on politics.. I don't really watch so much TV :)

Favorite Books:

Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen), The Moon and the Bonfire (Cesare Pavese), Tom Jones (Henry Fielding), Lady Chatterley's​ Lover (D.H. Lawrence), Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov), Dracula (Bram Stoker), The Monk (Lewis), Master and Margarita (Mikhail Bulgakov), Emma (Jane Austen), Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte), The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Milan Kundera), The Three Musketeers (Alexandre Dumas), Bliss and Other Stories (Katherine Mansfield), Difficult Loves (Italo Calvino), The Betrothed (Alessandro Manzoni). Effi Briest (Thomas Fontane), The Buddenbrook (Thomas Mann), Frankenstein​ (Mary Shelley), Mansfield Park (Jane Austen), Moll Flanders (Daniel Defoe), Helter Skelter (Vincent Bugliosi), The Rotters' Club (Jonathan Coe), Eleven Minutes (Paulo Coelho), Shamela (Henry Fielding), Invisible Monsters (Chuck Palahniuk), The Last Letters of Jacopo Ortis (Ugo Foscolo), Lyrical Ballads (William Wordsworth & Samuel Taylor Coleridge), One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), The Merchant of Venice (William Shakespeare)​, Edward II (Cristopher Marlowe), The Dubliners (James Joyce), Little Women (Louise May Alcott), Washington Square (Henry James), The Wasteland (T.S. Eliot), The Portrait of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) [list still under construction​]

Favorite Quotes:

The starry skies above me, the moral law inside of me (Immanuel Kant).

It is a humiliating confession, but we are all of us made out of the same
stuff. In Falstaff there is something of Hamlet, in Hamlet there is
not a little of Falstaff. The fat knight has his moods of melancholy,
and the young prince his moments of coarse humour. Where we differ from each other is purely in accidentals:​ in dress, in manner,
tone of voice, personal appearance, tricks of habit, and the like. The
more one analyses people, the more all reasons for analysis disappear.
Sooner or later one comes to that dreadful universal thing called
human nature. (Oscar Wilde)
