I'm a serious, quiet, intellectual personality, but I do have good sense of humour as well. I'm also introvert, so it's difficult for me to unbend at parties ( since I seldom go to any) - but these days I'm opening up more and more :) But I'm still I'm not much of a party-freak. Yet I consider myself a likeable person and I can hope that the fact that I don't go to parties often doesn't make me a worthless person.

All my family and friends who know me say I'm a language eater - and it's no joke: language learning IS one of my hobbies! At the moment I speak 6 languages, and my next "station" is Spanish.
