About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Stewie

Hi, it's me, Mariska! A 30 year old girl from Rotterdam, Holland. I am a student of English Language and Literature. I' ve been ignoring my final thesis for a long time but recently I've picked it up again and hope to graduate in a couple of months.I also did a year of Translation Studies and I am planning to make my future career of translation and subtitling. For now I have a part time job at the yellow arches and I work for the metal band Epica as a merch girl! Really cool job, get to travel all over Europe and meet lots of nice people and bands. In October 2005 I met my boyfriend Michael, he lives in Norway and used to play in a great progressive rock/metal band called Green Carnation, check out their myspace too!(Unfortunately they split up some some time ago). For my other interests, see my profile below. Cheers! Mariska xx

I'd like to meet:

I'm here to keep in touch with people I know from the music scene, so if I don 't know you and you don 't have anything in common with me, don 't send a friend request 'cause I won 't add you! (This goes esp for bands that send requests just to get their friends number up, and dirty old men).
