Well, finally I decided to join the cult!

My name is Gerardo (that is, my real name) and I'm from Argentina (for those who are not very good at Geography, Argetina is in South America - actually the southermost country) and I'm an author wannabe and English teacher. I love reading (almost everything published) and watching films (defenitely not everything there's to watch - I'm sort of picky about films)

I hope I can find nice people to chat with and discuss about literature and arts and other stuff.

you seem cool. If that picture is of you, you're a lot like me. Mohawk, gun, wifebeater shirt, the list goes on...
I'm kidding. But you do seem cool. Stay around, and tell us more about yourself.

Wow, it seems like we're getting more and more Latinos here. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but its something.

YES PEOPLE, that's me with a gun...but wait...that's an old picture, taken while having fun with some friends. I'm not planning to take anything (and it's Malvinas BTW) or rob anything. I don't lecture my classes with that haircut either!

As regards my job, I've been teaching English since I finished secondary school. Right now, I'm a senior at college (I'll get my degree this year) and I'm working with Cambridge ESOL students.  Last year, with a group which is no longer mine, we read Salinger, Welsh and Harris! That was great! I was able to teach them some literary analysis and that kinda stuff...It was great! But this year I have low lvl students, so I won't be able to do that Sad

Also, I'm getting married this November.

I'm a Virgo and I love meat...

My shoes' size is 7.

I like rainy days. I enjoy them while reading something or watching a movie with hot cup o' tea.

I'm football mad (soccer if you like)

I'm a good listener.

People say I should never try to travel to America (coz o' my arab-like face) any time soon.

I think the World would be a better place if people had more contact with the Arts.

FOOTBALL MAD YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Gerardo, Im a Barca fanatic. My claim to fame is I met Messi two years ago. I also met Maxi Lopez but hes crap.

Which team do you like in Spain and Argentina? If you say Barca and Boca you're a star.

What other authors do you like?

Is Cujo a good name for a cat?

Watch out for that Asshole Derek.

 

Enjoy your stay.

Boca of course!

Sorry to dissapoint you, but I'm a Madridista...though I don't hate Barcelona, as much as River, hahahaha!

No, really. Barca's ok.

I like Koontz, King, Lovecraft, Borges, Cortazar, Chuck (of course) and Welsh, among others...

I think Cujo is a good name for a dog, though it can be susprizing to hear of a cat named Cujo.

I don't mind arseholes, usually, they're more honest than one might think.

I'm sorry Barça boy...but that's how things are...

I have friends who are River supporters, so the fact that I like Madrid doesn't mean we can't get along.

Wouldn't Antartica be actually considered the southern most country?

I guess it might not be considered a country even, what without any kind of government and democratically run elections.

What  do you mean by that?

Do you even know what you're talking about?

Who is to say that the penguins haven't set up a primative system of government and hold annual elections?

Sorry, I misread. Thought you were talking about Argentina, not the Antartica.

Still, you can have a country without democracy or elections.
