About Me

My name is Eta, I am Italian but currently living in Amsterdam.
I travel very often around Europe to see friends and to work, especially to Paris, Florence, London, Copenhagen, Malmö, Berlin. I love to travel, to go to parties and festivals, see live bands, but also to relax at home, playing my bass, writing crazy stories, cooking, reading a book, watching films, surfing the net, hunting mice. I used to like drawing too, but now I do that just occasionally when I'm very high on something, because the day after it's funny to look at the results. I have a very intense and vivid dream activity, in fact sometimes I cannot recognise memories of my "awake" life from the memories of my dreams, but I also suffer from delayed sleep phase syndrome, frequent sleep paralysis, occasional panic attacks and spells of depression, but for the rest
I'm quite a happy being.Myspace Backgrounds
