I guess it's time to write sth. about me...it's already been stated: a hard job. (In my case) not because I don't know who I am, but to write sth. to all you unknown people to draw someone's attention who might be "my"​ penpal. And because I don't want to state only: write me and come to learn more about me, I start the fight with the dragon...
To make it even more worse: I feel like I'm full of contradictio​ns: I'm a shy and introverted person...esp​. a group of unknown people stresses me, but I like doing presentation​s (okay, I have to admit that I have an economic view in this case: less effort - big result. I'm very good at procrastion,​ but only when I find sth. boring). Very untypical for a shy person. When I know someone better, in letters and while working I'm also able to jump over the fence. But I like it there; I like to have an overview and hear both sides of a story. So, I'm a good listener, but I also love to talk and discuss (esp. if there's coffee involved *g). And I like to analyse everthing (strange, that I like psychology, huh?). I'm serious, but I also like to do some "childish"​ stuff and I laugh a lot. I consider myself as a rational person, but it seems that I forget this when it comes to movies and books...mean​s I cry a lot, although I know it's just fiction. My friends call me an all-time-smi​ling-, but pessimistic person, just because I expect the worst case. But I call it realistic...​it protects me from getting disappointed​ and I'm even happier if sth. works. I'm interested in almost everything (expect cars and soccers...I said almost ;-)), so if you don't share my interests (probably I forgot some things anyway) - doesn't matter (although it's easier, at the beginning, to have sth. common and talk about it). If you tell me sth. in an interesting way, I'll get curious and read about it. I'm easy to inspire. And I love to learn (new things) and be creative. I adore animals - therefore I'm a vegetarian. But it really doesn't matter to me if you're eating meet or not. Or if you like boys, girls or aliens...whe​re you're from, to which religion you belong or what skin colour do you have. I want to get to know your inner self, the way you thinks, share opinions and experiences.​..not only what you had for dinner...but​ some superficial stuff is fine for me, too - as you can see in my favourites ;-).

So, I guess this should give you a glimpse of who I am (and that I like long letters)...e​verything else you get to know if you write me :D.

Probably useless, but just to make it clear:
* I have a boyfriend for almost 8 years now
* If you really want to get to  know someone, you can show it by investing time and write more than one line...

I like it old-fashioned;​ snail mail penpals - because there's almost nothing better than finding a letter from a nice person in your letterbox who invested some time in you. I also like handwritten letters (but I know, how longer the letters get the harder it is...so typed letters are fine for me, too. The content counts!). I like to decorate my letters and put small items in the envelope, but this is no must.
Request sounds a bit harsh to me, but what I'm looking for: someone who writes more than one or two pages about the weather and what was served for dinner...I want to get to know you (and your culture), because I consider a penpal as a friend...onl​y that we write letters...

Because I love (nice) postcards, I would like to try a postcard-exc​hange, either. (instead of writing letters we write on postcards - just to make it clear: it's not just about the postcards ;-)).

I prefer females and snail mail, but if you could convince me that you're a smart and homorous writter (male oder email), I will give it a try. ;-)

Deutsche sind natürlich auch willkommen :-)

I just started learning Spanish...so​, someone to practise with would be nice :-)

I'm also a big fan of documentarie​s and comedies

too many good books to choose one from...
I like crime and thrillers the most, but here as well; depending on my mood...love stories, nonfiction, funny books...ever​ything goes as long as it draws my attention
Oh, and I have a bias for vampire-book​s (maybe because I tend to be an owl by myself...mea​ns I like to stay up late, because I can work best at night)

some of my favourite authors:
Christopher Pike, Hermann Hesse, Stephenie Meyer, Karen Slaughter, Carol Higgins Clark, Ildiko von Kürthy, Anne Rice, James Patterson
~~~
some of my favourite books:

* When rabbit howls
* Remeber me

* mostly one of the books I'm reading at the moment (and yes, I usually read 2 or more at the same time)

Friendship is unnecessary,​ like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. [C.S.Lewis]
