How to make a profile that stands out among the crowd:

Step 1) Use meta-humour. ;)
Step 2) Make sure you have some nice pictures available.
Step 3) ????
Step 4) Profit...?

Alright, now that we've gotten the awkward introduction out of the way, I guess I should tell you some more about myself. I'm an easy-going Dutch guy, who is enjoying life, and is looking for ways to expand this. :)

Friends describe me as: friendly, loyal, positive, kind, honest, helpful, modest and sweet. (Really.. "sweet". :P) Personally, I think it's very important to communicate clearly and to always do your best with whatever you do.

I work in IT, but even after work I can be found behind the computer (or TV) with a game, a movie or a series. Other things I enjoy during my free time: hanging out with friends, cooking, reading, listening to music. Occasionally the company activity board demands some time from me as well. :)

Damn, what *AM* I doing with my life? Oh wait, I think I know... I'm trying to make the world a better place, by...

Oh, nevermind. :) I'm just enjoying life as it comes, taking time to see the scenery, but also making sure to keep up with the race that life is.

Getting up early (it's a gift!), making delicious dinners, listening, keeping my orientation in a strange city, putting things in perspective, explaining complex things.
