Hi you all :)

I'm Susi (short for Susanne), 30 years old, and I was born and raised (and still live) in Austria. (No, not Australia, just the heart of Europe.)

I'm a mineralogist and currently working in a huge company (research department), but that's just the boring side of me.
You're wondering about my nickname? Well, it's not like I have acutally seen the series (did not air during my youth), but my friends call me MacGyver every now and then, usually whenever I come up with something new and creative. I love fixing things, inventing things, all sorts of art and crafting and such. (I probably have more tools at home than most men. Hehe.)

I was raised in a christian family and have 3 younger siblings, lots of uncles and aunts and even more cousins (and so forth).

I live alone in a neat little town and my neighbor tomcat seems to be my secret admirer - he sometimes waits outside my door in the morning, just to get cuddles. I like animals in general, but cats best - I speak cat.

Talking about foreign languages: My mothertongue is German (various Austrian dialects), but I'm fluent in English, know a little Italian and French as well, and sometimes recite some Latin phrases. What I would like to learn is Hebrew, and maybe some ancient Greek as well, just for studying OT/NT scriptures.
To me, words are like colors used on a canvas, and I like mixing them - so forgive me if I happen to come up with something unusal ;)

I like to be outside in the sun. I prefer summer over winter, adventure trips over lying on the beach, the company of good friends over a night at home alone.
I don't drink alcohol (I simply don't like the taste), but don't mind if you do (as long as you don't drive).
I don't smoke and cannot tolerate any kind of smoke due to my light asthma.
I don't own a car, as we have a fairly good public tranpsortation system here which is just so much cheaper.

I like to sing (I'm in the church music team), but I don't play an instrument well enough (I do own a few, though, including a Theremin).

What else? Hm.. I'm reliable and like to help others. I like to cheer people up who feel down and just give them a feeling of not being alone. Did I mention creative? :)
I do have just the slightest touch of Asperger's, which means, I see everything and hear everything and cannot do much about it, as my brain sometimes just stops filtering stuff. I've learned to live with it.

Ok, that was just a tiny bit of interesting stuff- if you want to discover more, you might have to talk to me. ;)
All the best and a great day to you all!

Hi Susi and welcome to Christian Chat. Your introduction was one of the most amazing introductions I've ever read on the site. It was absolutely wonderful. I would just love to visit a country such as Austria it sounds like such a beautiful place. And to top it all off you own a theremin… Wow! I know you will get to meet many wonderful people on this site and I have two words for you… God bless!

Greetings, Susi,

Ich hoffe, dass die Dinge sind mit Ihnen feine in Österreich.

Miau!

And you like to sing -- great!
The Theremin is an unusual, but interesting instrument.
Can you yodel?

Great to have the gift of encouragement.

May you have a great day.

You're welcome here, Susi! It's a pleasure to meet you. I like cats too. Not sure how fluent I am in cat, but I like to pretend at least XD I love what you said about words being colors on a canvas. I hope you like it here and continue to brighten the site with your creativity :)

No, I cannot yodel - at least not in the right way. But I can pretend to. ;)

I like this site already.
