She has been a member for over 2 years (1079 days).I'm 33 years old and work as a historyteacher at a secondary school. I've got a degree in Scandinavian medieval history.
I live together with my eight cats. For a picture of all eight, go to: http://flickr.com/photos/bjd/208110118/
I love reading all sorts of books. My favorite authors are: Tolkien, Diana Gabaldon, P.G. Wodehouse, Elizabeth George, Roddy Doyle, Henning Mankell, Sjöwall/Wählöo and Agatha Christie. I collect the books of Tolkien in all languages I can get my hands on in one way or another.
I'm a huge movie-lover. Ofcourse the three LOTR-movies, but also Billy Elliot (I always cry when I'm watching that movie), Festen, Gone with the wind, Control, The snapper, Priscilla - queen of the desert, Hitchcock-movies and many more.
On tv I like to watch Doctor Who, Torchwood, Top Gear, Seinfeld, M*A*S*H, english detectives, McLeod's Daughters, Royle Family, The Office, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, cricket and rugby (All Blacks rule!).
Music is very important for me: Van Morrison, Kari Bremnes, Eskimo Joe, Stef Bos, A-ha, Magic Numbers, Kari Bremnes, Trang Fødsel, Minor Majority, The Whitlams, U2 and many more. But I also like classical music very much: Maria Callas has to be the best operasinger ever!
I'm a big fan of Last.fm. You can add me if you want there: http://www.last.fm/user/arabrabekyd/
My favorite countries are The Channel Islands (England), Norway (I've lived, studied and worked there for seven months), Scotland en Denmark. I'm saving up to go on a four week holiday to New Zealand in a few years. As a diehard fan of Lord of the Rings I should go there ofcourse.
I like all kinds of postcards, but commercial ones are not my favorite. I'd love to see pictures of your hometowns or country. Or Tolkien-related perhaps?
