First, some general facts:
1. I'm female *lol*

4. Sometimes I feel like Sushi

I started writing last year when a close friend of mine urged me to write a fanfiction on "Lord of the Rings". Just check it out at fanfiction.net, I also started an attempt on an English story but hey...I gotta improve my skills!
I got inspired by authors like "Hoellenwauwau", "Heart of the Sword" and "Wonky Donkey".
Hobbies? Of course, I have...especially I love to read. There goes a short hitlist:
1. J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings (read 3 times but I still couldn't get enough)
2. Stephen King - Shining (makes me shiver)
3. Ken Follet - Jackdaws (great book)

I play volleyball since I was 13 years old (yeah, I'm getting old...) and hell, I already have got problems to climb the stairs up to my flat. *g*

With my friends I really love to go to the cinema. I love films and stuff, indeed. So there goes the second hitlist:

3. Forrest Gump ("Go, Forrest, Goooo!!!!")
4. The Green Mile (gee, that made me cry)
5. Gattaca
