When I am to write an introduction, I always wonder where to start. Maybe by my name: I am Daniela. I am 31 years old and this is my first time in LJ Idol. I have always loved books, reading and writing, nowadays, my shelves are stuffed with crime novels that made my sleepless nights, made some nights sleepless and will maybe do so again in the near future. In not so sleepless nights, I often dream of existing and nonexistent beaches, reminding me of times I had years ago, speaking Spanish, getting sunburned and missing real christmas trees in december.

High heels give me hard times and I rather walk in sneakers. I can easily mount stackpiles of Ikea furniture in one day, but cannot even knit a scarf. My talent for memorizing random facts and numbers often is often declared a mystery power by strangers, while, in fact, it is just memory. And there are not only numbers in my head, but also the scent of sweet popcorn in an old cinema or the blue and white, foamy sound of the sea.
