Hey my name is Johanna, and I'm 24 years old. Shall be studying in Exeter this year, doing an MA in Literary
Translation. I'm from the south east of France (near Avignon, if you know where that is) but my parents and
most of my family our english, so that makes me bilingual.
I don't know Devon at all so if any of you would like to show me around, it would be awesome.
I'm a big Offspring fan since 1994 and I like other music as you can see bellow. I love swimming, sun bathing, listening to music, my boyfriend (who is from fayetteville, USA, North Carolina) writes and sings some punk rock and thats awesome, also love movies, writing stories, translating stories (I'd love to find a job in Translation)and reading obviously. Anyway, that's all I can think of to say for now!
And I got to say, I'm more or less engaged, to be married maybe next year, to the gorgeous guy on my profile banner, so no point adding me for dating or anything like that. I'm here just for friendship.
Who I'd like to meet: Pierre Bordage (and I have met him, I talked to him before the conference, about things and about the translation I'd started working on, of Wang, and he was a great person, hope to meet him again someday).Stephen King, Dexter Holland and the Offspring, Michael Jackson.
everthing so far is going great hopefully it will continue to do so. i hope we do get to finally meet this year i'm looking forward to it. Is everthing going good for you?
hahaha. there are lots of them really. the guy singing on the a lot like me cover on my profile is also a great singer and a really good bassist and guitarist. he plays the drums too. he blows me away sometimes
Yeah, it's been out a little while, not sure how long. But, I bought one today
I used to LOVE Sum41 until the new album came out. They became emo and they sucked. I never got into Blink because they've always sucked and was emo to me.
