Everything I do's gonna be funky

About Me

I am a graduate of University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a Master's degree in Germanic Linguistics; Now I work at Sony Media Software in the customer service department speaking and translating German. I like to dance. I mean, I like to dance A LOT. Especially to some good house or electro. Music and art are very important to me, and I also love to sew and cook. I do a LOT of knitting and crocheting. I love nature but don't like camping much. I like going to festivals, especially electronic music festivals and large rock shows. I like traveling to weird places. I think Wisconsin is awesome. Don't call me a cheesehead. But I am one. I would do anything to stick around Madison! Come visit if you've never tried it!

My Interests

Dancing, going out, hearing music. Knitting, Crocheting, Sewing, Computers, Electronic Music, Writing, Making art, Drawing, Decorating my house...

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet people that I already know from living in the various locations that I have lived, but also people who want to correspond in German or Dutch. Anyone, really. Doesn't matter.

Music:

House and electroclash mostly, but with a lot of others thrown in. I especially like reggae and downtempo groovy stuff. I would say I like everything but country. I can even stand that sometimes but don't like the twangy stuff.

Movies:

I have terrible taste in movies. You don't want to know. Oh, here's ones I CAN tell you: Girl with a Pearl Earring, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I like foreign movies, although many people I know won't watch them with me so I barely ever see them.

Television:

I only watch Headline News about 20 minutes a day. I try really hard to keep myself occupied one way or another instead of TV. Unless I'm knitting, sometimes I'll pop in a movie. I don't have cable. I like Simpsons, Futurama and Family Guy, CSI, Crossing Jordan and other cop/law shows. Scrubs and Zach Braff are the BEST! Scrubs is probably my favorite show. I love Entourage. Wish I could be friends with those guys.

Books:

Don't even get me started on this one, but my favorite book is A Murder For Her Majesty, which I have read 3 times, but read for the first time when I was 8. Right now I'm reading "Russka" by Rutherfurd, you should check out his historical fiction, its top notch.

Heroes:

My friends and loved ones. Myself.
