ChikuNamika

I'm a 20 years young woman from Gremany. I was born in Wiesbaden and live still there with my mother and my cat named Nala.

My hobbys are, writing letters, swimming, reading books, meeting with friends and dancing.

July 2010 I passed my "Abitur" (Matura in Austria and I think it's like the british A-Levels). But I'm defently better in science than in languages. Now I start with my apprenticeship as Chemical-Technical-Assistant. And after that I want to study.

EDIT 03/13/2012 I thought my profile wasn't actual anymore so I have to edit it a little bit.

At first I'm not 20 anymore. Take another year and you have my age. (Yes we all becomes older and not younger.)

Sadly my cat Nala died summer 2011. She had to be euthanized, because she hadn't eat anymore. It was better for her and she had has a long cat life (She was 14 years old).

I have passed my exams for my apprenticeship as Chemical-Technical-Assistant. After this I've made a three week practikal training and had finished the apprenticceship completly in September 2011. So I have beginn to study Chemistry and do this till now.

I don't live at home anymore (but my swap bot mail arrives there. I will change the adress here on a later date. So please don't be angry if I don't rate on the same day as the swap arrives. I will rate as soon I've get it. But I see my mum one times a week and she brings me my mail.) I life together with my girlfriend and our two kids. The kids aren't my biological children, but I love them as if they where that. To our family also belongs two cats. I don't want to life without this cute little animals. The both called Angel and Smoky.

I love books. And I take my books everywhere, don't mind how much pages the book has. I love fantasy especially the books from Markus Heitz and Wolfgang Hohlbein. I also love the "Inkheart Trilogy"from Cornelia Funke or the "Artemis Fowl" books from Eoin Colfer. I also read thriller, but I haven't a favourite author for this. And I like also books from Hermann Hesse.

I love these pixar animated films, like "finding Nemo", "Monsters Inc.", "The Incredibles"... And I also like the Tim Burton films "Nightmare before Christmas" and "Coraline". Thera are also other ones like this typical women films, like "Because I said so" or "The devil wears prada" or "The lake house"...
