In a world of crashing bones, I struggle somewhere between decadence and despair and live in a sonic patchwork blanket, or something pretentious like that ;)
I'm a linguist and I obsess over Goethe and Sartre and deny any patriotism towards any one country. I like to sneer critically at current affairs and politics, as all young people have an obligation to do. (I'm fiercely left wing before you try to argue with me).
Mostly I like music, dressing up, playing my guitar and people who make me smile myself inside out. I love meeting new people and I hate it when friendships fade.
During 2006/7 I lived in Innsbruck, Austria, which is one of the most wonderful places in Europe and maybe someday I'll return on a more permanent basis. I love looking up and seeing mountains everywhere, it makes you feel somewhat humble and very inspired. I have also lived in Brussels, Belgium, where there are many antiques shops, stalls with fur coats (from animals which died of entirely natural causes one would hope) and beautiful things.
I'd like to say that I grew up listening to The Smiths and Pulp, but I'm too young for that, so I'll come of age to Morrissey, Jarvis and Brett Anderson instead. The first tape that I ever bought was Meatloaf and since then I've had an alarmingly broad taste in music; I'll listen to anything, except patronising emo and metal bands with names like Goat Sodomy (that's probably a real one) because if they can't chose a decent name you can't expect them to articulate themselves any better through music. Oh, and I'm a Manics fan complete with leopard print and DIY tshirts. But I really miss the 18th century and the splendid 20's.
