About Me

I'm a full time student, starting to do my thesis in marketing this autumn. I wouldn't want to stop studying ever - the more you learn, the more you want to know. I love travelling - the last trips were to New York and to Malaysia. I've lived one year in the U.K. and 1,5 years in Mexico. and half a year in Cyprus when i was about 6 yrs but that doesn't really count.One of my passions is art, design and architecture. Unfortunately i'm not much of an artist myself so i suppose that's why i love exploring the interesting things others do :)Music's nice, too...haha! How original!! Well, i play (badly and very occasionally) the piano and sing the backups in a rumba group. Oh, and dancing like a monkey with rabies with my friends, is one of my very favourite things 3overly positive and rather optimistic. talk a lot. i like sarcastic humour and my sarcastic friends. I love throwing parties and introducing friends from different circles to eachother :)

My Interests

Travelling, languages, Design, architecture, Art --mainly modern- current favourite above all a mexican sculptor Javier Marin.

Music:

I like almost everything! favourite bands at the moment : Steve Wonder, Ray Charles, Janis Joplin, Wolfmother, Gnars Barkley, Erykah Badu, some Mary J Blige, Kauko Royhka, Lemmenpyssyt, Rättö & Lehtisalo, Tuomo Prättälä, Tehosekoitin, The White Stripes, Mugison, Scissor Sisters .Latin stuff like Vicentico, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Manu Chao, Silvio Rodriguez, Buena Vista Social Club, Caetano Veloso, Ojos de Brujo, Amparanoia, Sargento Garcia, Cafe Tacuba, ...etc...funk-soul-r'n'b -groovy stuff :D

Movies:

aay....there are so many classics that i haven't seen yet. I should spend more time watching films than updating my myspace -space (nice phrase, innit?).So, the movies... Tarantino stuff, Hayao Miyazaki-films, Tim Burton, Peter Greenaway, Charlie Kaufman, Johnny Depp, Jean-Pierre Jeunet..

Television:

Monty Python, Fawlty towers, Office, The League of Gentlemen, british comedy in general, House M.D....

Books:

I'd love to read something else than books for my studies. A good book can be one form of travelling, one could say!...I'm trying to go through some modern classics. The last one i read was "the secret history" by Donna Tartt.Oh, and i like harry potter, too---- now I'm starting a book by Alejandro Jodorowsky: El maestro y las magas. Let's see how my spanish handles a wizard like Jodorowsky!
