CURRENT MISSION

To get my workroom tidy.... I mean, really tidy!

ABOUT ME

I want to listen to everything and know everything I can get. There is little (except maths ; )) that bores me, so I grab every chance to travel, read, talk and make experiments. Before I ask myself "How?" I simply say "Why not try?" Sometimes I have to suffer a bit from the steps I took but, hey, every blue eye makes me a step wiser.

My mission is to make this world a bit more colourful and people more attentive to what they simply spit out. Until I got a job as a teacher I couldn't believe to get the chance to do that really but now I am fighting to make my pupils realize that the world is not as easy as the tabloids tell them and that "foreigners" aren't those who "don't want to assimilate" and "take them their work away" ; ).

I love to make creative things to wear because most shops offer only boring stuff, so I can teach everyone to knit or glue tiny things together: in short: to be patient as a tortoise.

PHILOSOPHY

please listen to Maude of "Harold and Maude", then you'll know it.
