Oh, I´m glad you liked this (^_^) Where exactly from Germany is your bf from? And do you speak a little German by chance? XD It´s always nice to know that some of my rambling here raises a little interest :3 *adds you to friends* <3

yay! I don't know why I didn't add you when you wrote those wonderful fanfics about fruits ;) I think I was afraid of bothering manikineko-sama
He was born in Lübecke (westfalia), hope it's spelt that way. I studied a bit of german a couple of years ago, and now I'm studying norwegian, which looks kinda similar, ne?
You live south, ne? but are you originally from that region?

manikineko-sama? XD You are exaggerating (^_~) I´m glad you liked my fanfics, though <3
So your bf comes from that region, where 2/3 of the Germans come from (^_~) I am living in the southeast directly at the Austrian border but I am originally from Thuringia, which is pretty much directly in the middle of Germany. I´ve been to Norway three times, it´s a wonderful country! Their language also is very nice, but I can only speak some single words. Norwegian and German really resemble each other a bit.

Totally LOVED them...I really wish I were as good as you. I've never tried fanfics before, I wouldn't know what to write in spanish, so in english it's even worse! Well, I thought I wouldn't ever try photoshop, and I uploaded some icons (see my journal for details) last week, so who knows... of course those were horrible, but hey, not so bad for a first time. I thought it would be worse
really? didn't know so many ppl came from there xDD I'm learning a lot thanks to you.
WOA, Norway *feels jealous* yep, I want to go, too. Though I'm already going to Japan this summer, so...
