I am quirky, musical, and strong.
My Self-Summary
What to write on these things...
I'm a
pagan, I pick
and choose my own path from different styles of religion. Right
now, I'm leaning towards the ancient Greek pantheon and the
Shamanistic energy.
I have an interesting sense of humour (and a British accent, even
in writing) that not everyone gets.
I was raised bilingually, hence my fluency in Dutch as well as
English.
I enjoy
reading,
writing,
judo,
weight lifting, listening to
music, making music
(I play the guitar, drums and all sorts of other percussion
instruments), dancing (
bal folk mostly) watching series (but I
have no TV) and taking care of my Bonsai-in-training.
Now in Dutch
Tja. Nederlands. Moet dat? Blijkbaar...
Ik ben mezelf. Ik ben een paganist, tweetalig, heb een interessant
gevoel voor humor, heb veel hobby's waaronder muziek in al zijn
vormen, judo, dansen en geschreven taal.
What I’m doing with my life
I am a med student, which basically means I'm everbody's slave and
an all-around spunge for soaking up medically-related info.
I'm also the president of our judo club (looks good on an
application for admission into the programme for Orthopaedics...).
Now in Dutch
Ik ben vierdejaars geneeskunde, ga binnenkort beginnen met mijn
coschappen. Ondertussen doe ik veel aan mijn cv: ben voorzitter van
de Nijmeegse judoclub Fudoshin, ben bezig aan een onderzoek voor
publicatie en probeer mezelf een beetje te profileren bij de heren
van Orthopaedie.
I’m really good at
A lot of stuff. I'm good at keeping time and rhythm on anything
rhytmical, playing the guitar and carrying a tune when I'm singing.
I'm not bad at judo and I'm pretty strong as well. Also, I have
'golden hands': both for massage and... other pursuits ;-P
Now in Dutch
Een heleboel. Ik ben goed in muziek maken (gitaar, drums/slagwerk
en zingen), judo, massage en andere dingen met mijn handen...
The first things people usually notice about me
It used to be my hair, until I shaved off what used to be a mohawk.
Now, probably, still my hair because it's short and spiky and not
really what you would expect a woman's hair to be :-D
Now in Dutch
Mijn haar. Was vroeger een hanenkam, is nu een streep heel lang
haar met daaromheen een tot 9mm afgeschoren vachtje.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Got a minute?

Tipping the Velvet (technically a miniseries, but it counts!). GI
Jane. Tank Girl. Coyote Ugly. Anything by Tim Burton and/or Johnny

America)
The six things I could never do without
MY LAPTOP! (with its internet connection intact)
food
judo
my ability to understand and produce language
my sister
music
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Life. What does it mean to be alive, what is the meaning of life
and why the bleedin' hell are we here in the first place? Is there
life after death? Reincarnation? Some kind of paradise? Do we cease
to exist?
Also, higher powers. Is there something more? If so (which I
believe), is it One God (no, I don't think so) or are there many?
(yes.) But are the many just aspects of one greater, all-pervading
energy? (mayhap. I tend to think so)
Or, you know, just random things. I sometimes sit for aeons just
thinking. (Usually it only stops after someone comes up to me and
asks me what I'm thinking. Seriously? I was thinking! You yanked me
out of a perfectly good train of thought!)
On a typical Friday night I am
At my parents' house just relaxing.
Saturday, however... Dancing, hanging with friends, parties, you
name it! Well, either that or hanging at home immersed in a book.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Nothing. Ask, and you may recieve an answer...
You should message me if
You've read all this and haven't fallen asleep yet.
You think I might like you, or vice versa.
You'd like to get to know me better...
