CURRENT MISSION

write the perfect sentence

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm Swiss, so I'm neutral, introvert, rich and greedy, diplomatic and democratic, on time and very polite.
Furthermore I'm just me - relly happy with my life, but still questioning everything, wanting to know why things are the way they are, enjoying words above all, loving, generous, easy-going, seeking

PHILOSOPHY

happiness is the base of everything. and even though I love words, it makes me sick that with every word you choose to say something, you neglect another.

Interests

I'm basically interested in life. I love the feeling of waking up in the morning with nothing to do. I love listening to deep voices talking, love the small things you only see when you look around yourself closely and with time. I love the dry smell of pine trees, listening to people breathing. I love to be able to remember my dreams. I adore words, good wine, laughing so hard it almost makes you sick, poetry that doesn't rhyme, the excitement of planning a trip. I love meat, crying when watching a melodramatic and sad movie, the smell of blankets which dried in the sun. I love being awaited at the station or the airport, long bus rides, getting more freckles. I love reading fantastic sentences, listening to terriffic music that belongs to the moment and looking at the symbolic mysteries of early christian iconography.
and lots more, I guess.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One: I have hardly ever seen a place as beautiful as fernando do noronha in brasil.
Two: A finnish lake, friends, a cucumber sandwich, a chilled beer, bebel gilberto.
Three: you know what the good thing is? Every night, looking back at the day that has just passed, I can find at least one thing that made me happy or which I even found exciting. And I just hope I can go on seeing life through the eyes of an astonished child. sounds a little cheesy, right?

Teach, Learn, Share

i guess i could teach you some languages, though no exotic ones, i'm afraid - except some swiss dialects, maybe. then i can surely teach people how to keep their eyes open and see things they might not if they didn't turn their faces up into the air some times. and i can teach you a few things about art and its history and maybe even its meaning. and I'm pretty convincing at showing off, so I could teach you that, too.
I'd love to learn more languages and need ideas to make me cook.
I can share books and just single words, too.
