About Me

Wanderlust - 2d
..
I'm Bulgarian. No, I'm Italian. No, wait. I'm... Bulgarian.
All right.
As bios are something too simple and anything I do has to be complicated, I'm obliged to write a list. In the flux of life, today Daniela Vladimirova is:
1. a technical translator
2. a web designer
3. a complicated surname owner
4. an MD student
5. a Jean Seberg hairdo wearer
6. a late-night movie-viewer
7. a concert-attender
8. a potentially addicted maniac
9. a tireless friend-requests approver
10. a traffic victim
11. a poetry-reader
12. a Neapolitan-dog owner (the dog's Neapolitan, not me)
13. a boyfriend flat sharer
14. an empty-web-dominion owner (actually there is a "coming soon" notice)
15. a balcony-plant-killer
16. a true bitch at times
17. a half scooter owner without driver's licence for scooters
18. a birthday forgetter
19. a creator of car-CD compilations
20. a careless myspace updater
21. a steady wedding drinker
I could go on all day.
