About Amy The Wicked

Hello there.

I’m Amy. No, not really, but I go by that name in the Internet. Amelia E. Adler. The Wicked One. The Stalker. The Weird Hag. And then some.

I often express uncontrolled love for bats (the animals). And books.  And TV Shows. And languages. And cats (also the animals, though I don’t know where the confusion in that might be). And then some. (You should probably look to my page “Favorites”.)

I was born in 1989 in a communist country. Which no longer is communist, apparently, though many things stayed the same. I’m Roman Catholic With Doubts. My political views are very precise, though they concern mostly my own country, which is exceptional in many ways. (Not all of them are bad.)

I am also a student. I study at Jagiellonian University in Krakow. It’s my third year of Romance Philology and my first year of Arabic Philology. (Philology is a faculty where you study language, culture and literature of a given tongue or cultural space; for example, Romance Philology means I learn French language, its grammar and uses, but also French literature, history and culture. But there is also American Philology, as opposed to simple English Philology. Yeah, I know, quite complicated). At the moment, I learn four different languages: French, Arabic, Italian and English. (I don’t have any English classes anymore, but I try to keep up myself. I try my best, but I’m sure I make plenty of mistakes and errors, so if you spot one, point it out to me, please, I’ll be very grateful.) I used to have Latin classes too, but the moment I passed my exam, all the knowledge mysteriously disappeared. Or was there any knowledge to begin with?

I’m quite active in the Internet life, but mostly in Polish. Obviously. Although, I love to meet new people, learn new things and get to know new cultures. Also, I like to talk about myself. Obviously. Why would I start a blog if I didn’t?

Besides learning, I read, I write and I watch. These are four occupations I spend most time on. I love literature, I love to read, though recently my reading list has been shrunk to the obligatory books and scientific ones. I like both, but it’d be nice if I could read them out of pleasure and not because someone told me to.

I’m also kind of  a writer. Or at least, I’d like to be one. I write in Polish, obviously, and finished my first book, though noone seems to be interested in publishing it. That’s okay, though. I’ve got time.

The last thing I spend most time on is watching movies and tv shows. Actually, I spend on that WAY TOO MUCH time. Duh.

And, in case you were wondering, yes, I do have a life. I mean, like family and friends. Not the family of my own, obviously, but for my age it’s kind of good, don’t you think?

And again: PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE. Actually, it’s not even my second (I started learning English three years before I started learning French, but the latter I know better, so I count French as my second language and English as my third.) IF YOU SEE ANY MISTAKES OR ERRORS, PLEASE POINT THEM OUT TO ME, so I can correct them and learn in the same time. (I’m a purist, I hate when people make mistakes in Polish, though I always allowed that foreigners trying to speak Polish, even making mistake after mistake, are very brave people. They should be applauded just for trying. I recommend to you the article in Uncyclopedia about Polish language. It’s quite hilarious, but also, in some points, very, very true.)
