Hey guys, "I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."

I am a half-german half-british Erasmus Student studying Philosophy and German at University of Freiburg. I am part of the Translating Wikipedia Class for the summer semester!

About me[edit]

  • As you can tell from my name, I love films
  • I changed it to "LiB" cause I am a proud liberal brit lady
  • I also love pop culture, music, books, poetry and art
  • And playing the guitar
  • And coffee! Who doesn't love coffee???

Here are just some of my favourite quotes[edit]

"When getting my nose in a book Cured most things short of school, It was worth ruining my eyes To know I could still keep cool, And deal out the old right hook To dirty dogs twice my size."

  • From Gilmore Girls: “I don’t like Mondays, but unfortunately they come around, eventually.”
  • From Alan Partridge: “That was ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they ‘paved paradise to put up a parking lot’, a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn’t quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song.”

Questions for you[edit]
