During these crazy days, I realised how much I missed some of my former hobbies. While getting back to knitting and drawing are easily done by myself,  another activity involves other human beings...writting and getting letters and postcards. So I remembered this page and thought I could give it another try.

I guess I should tell you some things about me. My i.d. card says I'm 41, most of the time I feel like 27 (sometimes like 67 :D). I'm living with my bf and our cat in a small town in Germany.  I would describe myself as very ambivalent person: I'm pretty shy and introverted still I work as a manager (in the social field) and can be entertaining in front of people. I'm pretty analytical and rational yet I cry when I watch a Disney movie (yes, even Cars).  I'm a nocturnal perfectionist who's a bit too addicted to coffee. I'm a bookworm with a bad obsession for vampire books, but I also like mysteries, thrillers and crime. I'm a sucker for young adult fiction, too. I'm interested in psychology, philosophy, neuro sciences and critical thinking.. I'm becoming a therapist for children and teenagers. I love everything artsy and crafty. When I don't work, I like meeting my friends (especially when coffee is involved :D), reading, watching movies & TV-Shows.

I like it the old-fashioned way; 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 isn't a  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....

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 :)

but it's really depending on my mood - from classic to pop - everything goes...
important are lyrics and melody
I'm a "one-song-listener", I barely listen to a whole album (except some exceptions)...so it's not unlikely that a know at least one song of your favourite band

in general: horror and cheesy girlie movies - great combination, I know - I also love movies with James McAvoy

Too many to name...
I'm also a big fan of documentaries and comedies

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

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]

Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength.
[Theodor Adorno]

There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me. [Jane Austen]
