Age: 24

Location: Hamburg/ Germany

Job: College student/ part-time translator

Education: (So far) B.A.-Degree in English and Political Science

Siblings: Younger sister (22) and brother (14)

Marital Status: Single

Sexual Orientation: Hetero (I think...)

Political position: Social democrat

Best Personal Trait: Empathy

Worst Personal Trait: Tie between procrastination and pessimism

Favorite Films: I generally watch TV or go see a movie to be entertained, so nothing too serious or dramatic. I like all the OCEAN'S episodes, BRIDGET JONES' DIARY, FOUR WEDDINDS AND A FUNERAL, PRETTY WOMAN, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN...but I also move a good Stephen King movie, THE SIXTH SENSE and the like.

Favorite TV Show: FRIENDS

Favorite Books: Anything by John Irving, except the very early stuff

Favorite Songwriter: Jason Mraz

Favorite Singer: Jason Mraz

Favorite Color: Blue and purple

Pet Peeve: People who say "I'd never wear that, but it looks good on you," and similar stuff. People who call certain foods "disgusting."

Astrological Sign (include Moon sign and Ascendant if possible): Cancer

Places You Have Traveled to: Minnesota (lived there for a year), Sevenoaks/England (lived there for 3 months), NYC, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Canada, London, Cambridge, Oxford, Stockholm, Copenhagen and lots of other places in Denmark, Zurich, Vienna, Amsterdam, Berlin (all over Germany really)

Most Embarrassing Moment: Slipping on the stairs and consequently fainting (I have very low blood pressure, the fainting was probably caused by the "shock" of slipping) in front of the people who's kids I was supposed to babysit for the first time that night. (They did call me back and I'm now their regular babysitter. They still say "be careful on those stairs" everytime before they leave...)

Most Treasured Memory: Family vacations in Denmark, time I spent with my sister in Berlin

Fashion Style (what are some of your favorite clothes to wear?): I'm still trying to figure out my "style", in general I like very clean-cut clothes, nothing too extravagante or with crazy patterns on it.

How you found this site: Hmmm...I think it must have been that "Shameless self-promotion" thread on GMF.com :-)

What you’d like to see on this site: An entry that says that GM has official announced that he's realized he has a drug/ prescription mediciation problem and has checked himself into rehab. Joking aside, I like the way this site has developed and progressed.

Other Things About Yourself: Absolute anglophile, dreams about beeing a university professor in the UK one day (if that fails, Scandinavia would do too), has met many incredible people while living in the US, but would never consider living there again, is "too nice" to everybody, therefore apparently has no enemies (and no personality...), might just kill the next person who says that she's too skinny and should eat more. (I mean, seriously, why is it apparently okay to tell thin people they are "too skinny", but fat people don't get told that they are "too fat" and should maybe skip dessert, by friends, family and co-workers, I assume!!??)


Okay, this was a really nice way to pass the time on a friday afternoon before I get ready to got out. :-)

@ Nick: You sound like one cool dude! Your english is impeccable -- are you sure you're really Bulgarian?! Like you, I too cut off ties completely with a parent -- my mother. This was almost 15 years ago and I regret nothing. Anyway, love your remarks and would love to hear more of your comments.

nick said...

my english is anything but impeccable, but thanks anyway :)

yeah, i'm quitting my job in a couple of weeks and i'm planing on doing some traveling and general laying around for a few months, so i might be pretty regular here for a while.

so in the spirit of that, keep up the good work and keep us entertained. :)
