About Me:
*If you get to the end without falling to sleep,you win a prize*
Welcome to my little corner of the world.
About me?? Its quite difficult for me to tell you because I feel sometimes that I dont actually know who I am at all.
However The things that I can tell you are that I'm..
*Not here to tell you that Im a wonderful person becuase it wouldnt be true.Im a terrible conversation starter that why I will often look at profiles without saying hello,its nothing personal.I keep my self to myself,Im not the most loud and 'in yer face' person that you will ever meet,but that doesnt make me boring.I am often melancholic but I havnt forgotten how to laugh,I enjoy sad songs by sad singers.Im Somebody with a confusing personality,Im often sarcastic which has got me into trouble on here on several occasions where people have taken what I have said the wrong way.
I graduated from University last summer with a degree in Environmental Science,the Environment and Nature is a huge passion..I spend time imagening how landscapes would have looked before we came along and ruined them,I have a bizarrely large knowledge of animals and countries gained from spending far too much time watching Animal Planet and Reading National Geographic Magazine.. I have recently qualified as EFL Teacher and hope to move to Poland as soon as possible to start teaching English..This is why I am learning Polish,so If anyone wishes to help me with this I would be ever so greatful,I can help you with English or even Welsh if you would like. Im also trying to learn Russian and Hungarian simply because I think they are beautiful languages so please help me with these.Im incredibly attracted to central/Eastern Europe,Scandinavia and Iceland.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to spend 2 months working at an Elephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka,Id dearly love to go back there someday.
I enjoy playing guitar and Harmonica,and I recently bought a Ukulele but gosh its difficult,I wish I could play Piano and Accordian.
I love the arts..unfortunately Im not talented enough to be the one who creates it,I merely sketch in a little book,however I do have a huge appreciation of the ones that do.I fill my free time with books,CD's,Movies,walks on the beach,meetings with friends who I dont see nearly as much as I would like to,making silly covers of silly songs,creating mix tapes,writing to Basi,writing in general,I have kept a journal for the past 5 years..writing is a great way for me to escape the 'real world' which I often find cruel and actually quite boring,I live in my mind quite a lot and am a dreamer,but I havnt lost touch completely with reality.
I wish that Room 101 really existed..I have many people that Id like to put in there..
My Party trick is to pronounce the longest place name in the UK which is small village here in the north of Wales,quite close to where I live here in Llandudno..
"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" its not as hard as it looks.
I adore Pears and pasta,I cant stand beetroot it really is the devils food.
My addictions include..The lyrics and Melodies of Ben Gibbard and Deathcab for Cutie,The Voices of Cat Power,Joanna Newson,Coco Rosie and Basi especially this last one ;)
The words of Sylvia Plath and Oscar Wilde..which are moving, inspiring,funny,depressing.
Red Wine and beers of the World..particulary Belgian and Polish beers and Chilean Red Wine although Im not too fussy when it comes to alcohol.
Large mugs of Smooth Roast Coffee and cups of darjeeling and green teas.
Autumn is comming..its time for a change..
"On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin"

Your Age,Gender or Nationality does not bother me,However..
* DO NOT try to add me as a friend if we have never spoken you will just be rejected so dont waste your time.
* Dnt fukn spk 2 me lke dis..spk proper 2 me.
* DO NOT be an idiot (however I know this can be quite subjective as whos an idiot to one,may not be an idiot for another...so I will decide)
* DO write to me if you would like help with English I have just qualified as a EFL teacher,and need some practice.
* Do write to me if you are willing to help me with either Russian,Hungarian or Polish
* Do write to me if you are intersted in hand written letters
* Do write to me if we might share any similar interests.
Actually it turns out that there are quite a few requests..oh well.

I'm good. My friend told me about this site, have you had any luck on here meeting cool people?
Hey how are you? Great taste in music
Pretty much anything by the weepies is excellent (very mellow). Metric and Muse are also very nice (muse mostly because they sound like Radiohead).
i hate.. pears. and we have quite a similar taste in music.
I saw this hipster guy today with a tee-shirt that said "Ben Gibbard is my soulmate." and it made me laugh and think of you.
hehehe! I have photo,which looks like you Profile Photo) hmm, do we have general looks in life? ;)
I think people that are extremely sarcastic are hilarious, but it depends on what type of sarcasim. I love pears as well, probably one of my favorite fruits besides peaches and tangelos (orange and tangerine combined). I must say though...I have never heard of a beetroot...
I started a conversation, let's see if you can continue it. :)

Hiya, I love your profile! I see you like Bison, have you ever pet one? ;) They're ridiculously soft and sweet. Though when feeding them, they seem like they may just eat your hand.
Train rides are also very fun to me, but I had never been on a train until I went to the UK, train is definatley the preferred method of transportation :)
Ooo, I have also attempted to say Llanfair PG, I think my pronunciation is close..But I dont say it nearly as fast as you Welsh speakers :)
Hope you dont mind the random comment!
