My name is Alex, obviously. I live in a small city about 30 kilometers north-west of Philadelphia, USA. I was or am an art student in college, therefore I am an artist. I am also interested in art history. I won't list favorites because I don't think any culture is more interesting than any other. I am mainly studying German mainly at the moment. The reason is probably because I have some German ancestry. I am interested in talking to people from any country though. Some of my other interests are books, travel, bicycle riding, swimming, gardening, cars, socializing.... I have at times said stupid things like everyone else. �
