ABOUT ME

I love drawing cute anime girls!! My newest drawing is http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/221/b/3/b32b6d7d69d58da60def77ff8b5bb80e-d5aexw1.png.

I also love eating and cooking and trying new foods, reading, wasting time on the interwebs (mostly reddit), and relaxing. Nonsmoker, no drugs, social drinker. I'm married, my husband is http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/electric.paganini/. We love pets but we don't have any right now :(. We like to hang out in coffeehouses, parks and trails, and downtown.

I'm a nice girl! I've worked food service :p.

I can be a bit of a socially awkward penguin. http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/003/894/1245687211186.jpg

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Lots of western graphic novels, and lots of manga and anime (Nana to Kaoru, Madoka Magica, Durarara! Suzumiya Haruhi, Clannad, Emma, Hellsing, Shaman King, KissxSis, Mysterious Girlfriend X, etc).

I used to read a lot, but I think my attention span is getting smaller and smaller. My favorite authors are Agatha Christie (read all her books at least twice already), Haruki Murakami, and latin american authors Julio Cortázar, Jorge Luis Borges, Elena Poniatowska, Isabel Allende, and Gabriel García Márquez. I'm really into mysteries and crazy, surreal magic realism.

As far as TV shows, Community, Sherlock and ____'s Got Talent.

In music, I find that I don't really get into genres, but I really get into single artists/bands. If I listen to one or two of their songs and I love them, I try out their entire discographies. Psapp, Children of Nova, Big Sir, Soil & "Pimp" Sessions, Mayumi Kojima, Parov Stelar, The Mars Volta, Kings of Convenience, Here Come the Mummies, Shiina Ringo, The Tokyo Incidents, and many more. I am starting to get into french artists as well, such as Tété and Émilie Simon. I do listen to more popular/mainstream pop, indie, and rock music as well, but not really country or hip hop.

I enjoy finding new music on the radio!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Seeing the Alps from just a few miles away when I lived in Borgo San Dalmazzo.

Ecotourism in the jungles of southern Mexico.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can make an amazing guacamole and/or practice Spanish conversation :). I can also draw some anime girls!
