About Me


Hello, I'm just trying to find the perfect match between pretentious and pop. Drinking endless cups of tea while listening to nice music and reading a book by a long-dead author is all I do, really. Hey, hey, hey, there's gonna be a storm.
It doesn't take much to knock me, I've been living a sheltered life. My aspirations are wrapped up in books, my inclinations are hidden in looks. The one thing I really care about is my audioscrobbler . This may or may not be an exaggeration.
[Wer weiß, wie es vor Zeiten wirklich gewesen ist?]

My Interests

books, music, random good things, "tea is the cure", "tea is not The Cure", the family, Aida, good lyrics, useless trees, the possibility of a past, "analogue-only communication", intertextual popmusic, basil, milk, tranquility, Scandinavia, cakes, mixtape politics, non-mixtape politics, walks, museums, "I can say that in Norwegian!", the ominous space rocket .

I'd like to meet:


To quote Mr. Darcy: "I certainly have not the talent which some people possess of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done." Which translates into: I'm not here to meet cool new people, kthxbye.

Other than that: The Incredible Shrinking Man and Mr Darcy himself. People who hate people! Come together!
Fierce people

Captain Oblivious and Doctor Colossus. The brothers of doom! Because the team is the best and the lolz are the most.

I like Hamlet.
