Hi, I'm Emanuele, 30 years old, from Rome, in Italy.
Used to have a profile here already, but decided to make a new one and start anew.

I almost never write first, because I feel like I'm annoying innocent people - that's it.
So, if you think it's really worth it, do the magic.

I'm slightly obsessed with "Réspire" (specially the Laurent's movie).
I like the book too, but not as much.
Anyway, it renewed my interest in French - I just love french accent this period.

I also love Berserk (manga).

Come as you are.

• "HI HOW ARE YOU" IS NOT EVEN A START. Read the profile, see if there's something we have in common, then write me about it. That's a Good start!


•  I don't mean to be harsh, I'm a bit tired of talking about Rome and/or giving advices about the best places to visit.

•  If anyone wants to talk about music, movies and books listed in the sections below, I'm more than ready


... • Since it's probably easier to have something to talk about to begin with, here's a list of things I could talk about for a good couple of hours :

- "Berserk"

- "Watership Down" (Book by Richard Adams)

- "Madame Bovary" (the book, of course. Although the 1991 movie with Isabelle Huppert was good indeed)

- Japan (lifestyle and culture; I'm not much into anime although I love Akihabara's atmosphere, vending machines and lucky bags)

- Lyrics interpretation and lyrics in general
(send me your favourites, I don't care about the music genre!)

- Bioshock (Rapture mostly), Rule of Rose, Suikoden II.
My favourite games (I seldom play videogames actually, and I tend to ignore the new ones)

- How beautiful human body is
(I suffer from dysmorphia, but I'm more than open to hear about what you like in a boy/girl and why, and whatelse your thoughts about that. Don't be afraid to appear 'mean' or stuff.
You like what you like, and I'm curious about that!)

- "Solanin" (manga by Inio Asano).
"A girl by the sea" and the others are okay too, but "Solanin" is very special to me.

- See the sections below... 'Films' in particular!

I'm looking for a French penpal to help me with its mother tongue.
I've studied French for 5 years in highschool, but I seldom had the occasion to practice it since then.
**EDIT : I have one now and I'm fine at the moment.

I'm also interested in both japanese and swedish.
I can help you with both english and italian.

...Can you be serious about it?
I'm a good teacher and I take pleasure in helping a penpal to improve italian and/or english. I expect my pal to be serious about learning and helping me back.
Don't think I'm too demanding, or that I'm boring just because I take this thing seriously.
In case, drop me a line.

Writing, figure skating, singing, Berserk, tattoos, Silent Hill 2 (and SH ost in general), Persona/Shin Megami Tensei, making theories and speculating about mysterious plots.

"Watership Down" - Richard Adams (favourite ever)
"Girl on a swing" - Richard Adams
"Anna Karenina" - Lev Tolstoj

ma sotto il mio ombrello ci stiamo entrambi." - Dargen D'Amico

"Before you try to tell me that it’s because I take my clothes off for a living, let me tell you that this started way before I was 18. Let me tell you that every single woman I know has at least one truly terrifying story of street harassment and a whole bunch of other stories that are merely insulting or annoying. Let me remind you that in a room of pornography fans, who have actually seen me with a dick in my mouth and who can buy a replica of my vagina in a can or box, I am treated with far more respect than I am walking down the street.”
- Stoya, pornographic actress

"Soon we will know if it's for real what we both feel." - Akira Yamaoka (from his amazing song "Letter from the lost days", which also happens to have one of the best opening verses Ever)

"Outer space is where we get together
And this place we're meant to be
Stars are dancing and the time is fading
Dead forever,
You and me,
You and me."

(Kosmos)
