About Me

***PLEASE DON'T SEND ME FRIEND REQUESTS IF YOU'RE NOT PLANNING TO FREQUENTLY KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME. NEITHER WHEN YOUR PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE YOUR BAND. I WILL DECLINE YOUR REQUEST AS I'M NOT LOOKING FOR 'RANDOM' CONTACTS AND I PREFER ADDING BANDS THAT I LIKE BY LOOKING FOR THEM INSTEAD OF BEING BOMBED WITH REQUESTS. THANK YOU...***

Hello there, I am Margriet, a 26 year old younglady from The Netherlands. I was born on one of the darkest days of the year, shortly before Christmas in a very small village called Oud-Vossemeer. It's located in the south of the country and I have lived there until I was 4 years old. I then moved to the middle of Holland where I still live today. Our family is a fourpiece: my parents, my older brother Herman and myself. I have a cat called Lou-Lou. He's been with me ever since he was a year and a half. He has recently turned 17 years old. Additional info: I have studied social sciences in Amersfoort but figured that this isn't the type of job I want to have for an occupation, so I am now working for a Dutch bank (no names) to get the time to think about what I'd really like to do. My dream has always been to become a translator or something to that effect. Languages, especially English and Dutch have always been very interesting to me. Unfortunately it's too hard to make a living out of that if you don't have the right connections.

My Interests

My cat Lou-Lou R.I.P. sweetheart: horseriding* photography*


music* concerts* reading* yoga* hanging with my friends* travelling

I'd like to meet:

I've already met Dream Theater :)

Music:

Ever since I was 16 years old I've felt a very strong passion for progressive rock and metal. Bands that I am really into right now are Dream Theater, Symphony X, Pain of Salvation, Sphere of Souls, Sun Caged and Lemur Voice. I also like Textures, a Dutch band a dear friend has introced me to. Besides progressive stuff I do like 80's music (pop and rock). Concerning singers: Tori Amos, Kate Bush and the likes.

Movies:

Hmm, I don't have much time to watch TV let alone watching movies. But if I do, I do it well.. I am very fond of comedy and thriller.

Television:

Not much time on my hands to watch TV. I do watch the news on a daily basis and sometimes I like watching certain Dutch comedy shows but not on a frequent basis. I prefer listening to music and sing.

Books:

Dutch literature or Thrillers (Dan Brown etc). But lately I tend to prefer reading in English, just to keep on refreshing my knowledge of this beautiful language. I am the type of person who loves to learn, so the challenge for me is to find and learn new words and expressions in English everyday.

Heroes:

No heroes for me. Let me state that the people I love most are my friends and family. These are the ones who matter to me, these are my 'heroes', new friends included. I am the selective type of person when it comes to accepting new friends, so if I pick YOU then you really mean a lot to me :)
