hello everyone!

Hello everyone!! I'm Annalisa, I'm 25 years old and I live in Bassano del Grappa with my parents and my brother Marco, who is 13 years old. I got the degree in " Mediazione Linguistica e culturale" at the University of Padua and this is my second year of Specialistica in foreign languages. I'm studying German anf English and I'm quite satisfied with my choice, although sometimes I find German a little difficult to understand.
I think i'm a sociable and outgoing person, I like seeing my friends but I like doing thinghs on my own too, especially shopping- My boyfriend often says I'm a real shopaholic but he is too exaggerated!-. In my free time I absolutely love reading (at the moment I'm busy with The Perfume by Patrick Suskind) , listening to music (every kind apart from heavy metal and punk) and watching movies. In particular I can say I have a real adoration for everything related to the field of cinema. I think my passion began when my parents bought the tape-recorder-almost 18 years ago. Up to now I've collected almost 1ooo movies: the only genre I don't like is old western. So far my favourite movies are: Dead poets society, Before sunrise and the modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
I also love animals, especially cats and dogs of small size..unfortunately I live in a flat and my mother doesn't want pets.
What else?..I have to admit that sports are not among my favourite hobbies: I've always been too lazy to follow them seriously.
As regards the choice of the photo, I chose this picture first of all and most obviously because I love sunsets, landscapes, the sea and nature in general. Moreover this photo says something about my personality. First of all I'm a very romantic, sensitive, instinctive and sometimes too ingenuous person. Furthermore I think the many nuances of a sunset can reflect different aspects of my temper (sometimes I'm sweet, happy; others obstinate and naughty). Finally I love the atmosphere offered by a sunset: it is not only romantic but it brings also some kind of "positive melancholy", it is difficult to describe but I think you could understand..anyway something that makes me feel relaxed and peaceful.
As regards technology and computers I have to admit we don't have a good relationship. I try to avoid using it as far as possible..anyway I like surfing the web and these are the three sites I hit the most:
www.google.it , www.rockonthenet.com. and www.zeit.de
Google is my favourite search engine; here I can find whatever I need,.. rock on the net is the best to get all the news about the forthcoming cds...and on the site of "Die Zeit" I can be updated about the events all over the world and at the same time I try to improve my knowledge of German....
That's all for the moment....
Kisses
