MY EXAMPLE (MORE OR LESS!)Hello cupcakes!My name is Laura and I am 29 years old… almost 30, though. I was born in
Barcelona, but now I live in Barberà del Vallès, a small town located between Barcelona and Sabadell. I work as an English teacher at INS Can Planas in Barberà, as well.
What can I say bout myself? I love reading, specially fantastic or horror novels. What I love most are vampire
stories, but not the “Twilight” style, I mean traditional ones. That’s why my favourite author is Anne Rice, who wrote Interview with the vampire and the Vampire Chronicles saga.
This year I learnt how to knit, and I like doing amigurumis to give as presents. “What are amigurumis?” You will ask… They are plush toys you do by knitting. And thanks to that I have found out (and I am also interested in) DIY (or Do It Yourself), which means recycling or customizing things you don’t use any more into new ones.
And as almost everybody… I like going to the cinema and watching movies, but I don’t have a favourite type of movie… Despite that, I can say two of my favourite films are Requiem for a dream and The fight Club. My favourite actor has always been Brad Pitt, because he’s very handsome and I think he is good at acting… but I also like a lot Johnny Depp, because he always plays very different, special and interesting roles.
Finally, I am not really into sports… but I try to go swimming once or twice a week, and I also go rollerblading whenever I can. And, although I like listening to music too, I don’t have any favourite singer or band right now. I like a lot of different styles.
And I think this is it! If you want to know anything else about me… you only have to ask! See you!
