About Me
Hi, I'm Vicky! I run this website.
I'm mostly just some girl, but in case you wanted to get to know me a bit better, here you go:
- Name:
- Vicky (Victoria, actually)
- Pronouns:
- she/her/hers
- Height:
- 6'3 / 1,90 m
- Sexuality:
- Lesbian
- Relationship status:
- Taken <3
- Languages:
- English, German, Latin (only with a dictionary)
- Programming languages:
- Currently trying to learn some Python. I also did, like, five hours of R at university.
- Favorite words:
- illuminate, suggestion, adjacent
- Catchphrase:
- "Hell yeah!"
- Interests:
- Enjoying art & music (see below), making art (mostly writing, drawing and photography), crocheting, spending time with my girlfriend and making her happy, learning something new every day, and enjoying life on Earth to its fullest!
- Field of study:
- Well… I have a BSc in geography, having mostly focused on human-environment-interactions with my bachelor's thesis written on climate change and societal collapse. I originally wanted to pursue a master's degree in the field as well, but I didn't really feel it anymore, so I am currently pursuing a BA in English studies with a minor in history. Currently I'm really into linguistics (most of it, anyways) and women's history.
This is what I really look like.
And this is where I come from.
This is some of my favorite stuff; art, film, music etc.
