NAME: Anna, or Athena

AGE: 26 in two months (I like even numbers more :))

INTERESTS: I've always been fascinated by history (particularly WWII and medieval England) and languages. I speak two languages fluently - Russian and English, and I'm currently learning Spanish, Finnish, and German. Me encanta el español, y me gustaría practicar esta idioma :)

HOBBIES: I love reading, learning languages, hiking, biking, skating, and watching TV series (my favourite ones being Poirot, Babylon 5, White Collar, Due South, Lark Rise to Candleford, Star Trek TNG, Spooks, Law and Order, and, well, it's a long list :)).

LOOKING FOR: New friends! I've only just created this account (that's why there's only one entry there so far) so I could practice my English and get to know new wonderful people from all over the world.

ANYTHING ELSE: I'm currently working as a linguist and translator. I've always dreamed about getting a cat, but ended up with a lovely Yorkshire terrier. I live in St Petersburg, a beautiful city in Northwestern Russia. By the choice of love I am a Roman Catholic. I'm fond of coffee and chocolate. Star Wars Original Trilogy has influenced my life a great deal, and John Williams practically composed the soundtrack of my life. The Harry Potter books have played a significant role in my life, too. I used to be a Tolkien fan, but now I only love one of his books, namely, The Lord of the Rings, and always list it among my favourite books, along with Fahrenheit 451 and Gone with the Wind. My username means "the morning mist from heaven" in Hawaiian.



If you want to know more, feel free to ask or friend me :)

biking, hiking, linguitics, ou sound pretty cool, friends?

[kawehilani]

Yeah!:) You sound cool, too! An acquaintance of mine spent several months in New Zealand in 2006 or so, but I've never met anyone _from_ New Zealand or Australia before :)

[mummimamma]

You sound like someone I'd like! Adding you!

[kawehilani]

I love the Moomins, too!:) And I'm a philologist, too, although I was majoring in German Philology (and minoring in intercultural communication, by the way :)).

Adding you back right away, of course!:)

[zombieallomorph]

Sounds interesting. I'm going to add you, if you don't mind :)

[kawehilani]

Not in the least!:) Unfortunately, my level of German doesn't allow me to understand most of your posts, but I'm planning on learning more German after I have finished with my Spanish course.

[zhelana]

Hi :) I know English and Spanish, and I'm learning Hebrew and Russian! Friends?

[kawehilani]

Sure!:) I'm interested in medieval history, too :)

[zhelana]

I actually tried to get my MA in WWII Russian history - but got stuck on the language :( :)

[kawehilani]

Oh, I've been interested in WWII Russian history for nearly as long as I remember myself. I'm even considering taking a postgraduate course in it.

Nice to meet you!:)

[zhelana]

Nice to meet you too :)

[kawehilani]

No, of course I don't mind!:) Nice to meet you!

This is a bit old, but I'd like to add you... I like reading about faraway places.
