I already had a hard time coming up with the three adjectives below, so son't expect too much from this. I'm Belgian, currently working on my masters in public management (MPA in US) and speak several languages fluenty. I have a thing for literature and music, enjoy both outdoors and indoors activities, as long as they're not too sporty. Anything else, just ask...

I am intellectual, obnoxious at times, and very relativist

at university (last yr MPA), engaged in local politics (social democrats), working on my masters' thesis (on public strategic management if anyone cares), planning to go for a Master's in sociology next year.

arguing (about absolutely everything), what I'm studying (strategic public management, sounds a whole lot more boring than it actually is), cooking, brainstorming, fantasising (I have a rather lively imagination), listening

I'm tall, and tend to be somewhat distracted and day-dreamy (which leads to people usually noticing me long before I notice them...). I also seem to change my entire style quite frequently (used to be preppy, got boring though, now more streetwear/emo/punk).

a) anything by stephen fry (my favourite is 'making history'), most michael cunningham (loved 'flesh and blood'), jonathan safran foer, douglas coupland, vonnegut, Burroughs etc. b) wonder boys, angels in america, the hannibal lecter trilogy, lots of arthouse (like 'garden state', 'laurel canyon'), lords of dogtown was okay too. Recent favorites are Thumbsucker and The Squid and the Whale. c) emo, alternative, punkrock/pop, soul (mostly the older names), springsteen, MUSE, ... Current most played list includes Matchbook Romance, Taking Back Sunday, The Get Up Kids, The Early November, Mozart Season, AFI, Rise Against etc. d) desserts (like tiramisu, cakes and pies), french or traditional cuisine, american traditional, maple syrup (just pour it straight into my mouth, please!), cheese, ...

My bed, my television, someone to talk to (and with, of course), chocolate (preferably in very large quantities), cigarettes (for now at least, trying to quit somewhere in the near future), coffee

the future, why people do what they do, what could have been (bit of a brooder, I'm afraid), work stuff

in a meeting or having drinks afterwards; staying in working through the night or watching TV
