Looking for Swedish people especially!

Jul 11, 2011 21:42

Hey all! This is a bit more specific request for a pen pal so I better write about that right in the beginning. Basically, I'm looking for someone to write with in Swedish. I studied Swedish in school for 10 years, but I haven't had any need for the language for about 9 years. It's obviously very rusty, and I was never a top-grade student to start with. I'd probably end up writing half in Swedish, half in English in the beginning at least. I find it such a shame my Swedish skills are in such decline, and would love to have a reason to improve them again.

If you're not a Swedish speaker but absolutely convinced we should be penpals anyhow, leave a comment:)

Name: Maarit
Age: 27

About: I moved from Finland to London a)because I love the city b)my world revolves around music really, and this is where it all is at. I'm rather extrovert, I love being around people but enjoy the odd solitude that big cities or forests sometimes provide. I really appreciate all lovely unexpected things in life. Bit of an involuntary day dreamer.

Other interests: Umm... writing(doh), going to gigs a lot, guitar playing, photography, mythology, philosophy, all things fantasy-ish, forests&nature, travelling, being up at weird hours and all the good and bad things that come along with it, I've ridiculously huge history with WoW, but haven't played lately(maybe in the future again)
