About Me

words+guitar. vegan+food. leftwing+politics. women+noise. queer+mind.Temporarily taking time out of medschool and working in a healthfoodstore before my internship... postponing hardship. And indeed i have no sense for direction, which is really annoying me. Sometimes i don't even remember where someone's bathroom is. Evolution-wise i wouldn't survive a day. Also I play in a band called Dusty Blinds ( www.dusty-blinds.com , www.myspace.com/dustyblinds ) and in a band called Sweet Sweet ( www.sweetsweet.nl , www.myspace.com/sweetsweetmusik ). Please check it out sometimes!

My Interests

hanging out with my friends, playing with my bands (www.myspace.com/dustyblinds, www.myspace.com/sweetsweetmusik), doing POXY TOXIC the next new hipsterparty in town, organising grrrlband gigs, soulseek, veganism, bands that make me dance, collecting and spinning records (this sounds cooler than it is since I CAN'T MIX), finding old team dresch 7"s between shitty punkrecords, guitar/bassplaying and singing, feminism, leftwing politics and activism, travelling, medicine (streetmedics, chinese medicine, and i both love and hate to be in medschool), girls, boys, riding my bike through town, turksbrood met basilicumpasta en tomaat, humus and avocado, sleeping late late late, long hot showers, and more ofcourse, right.

Music:

I'm not gonna list all the bands I like... there would be too many of them anyway and I wouldn't dare not to look cool by forgetting one. So here are some 'genres': queercore/indie/pop/electro(clash)/new/dark wave/sing-song/riotgrrrl/emo/punk(rock)/rock n roll/garage/some hiphop/chainsaw-KRS - krecs - lookout - heartcore - paroxysm - retard disco - in the red - troubleman - too pure - sub pop - 16recs - sympathy for the record industry - alien8 (and more) stuff...

Movies:

I'm scared of ghosts so I don't like films with ghosts (okay apart from Ghostworld and Ghost...). i'm not too critical, something that i maybe should be since there's a lot of crap out there. so here we go (stuff that i don't think is crap): but im a cheerleader, american splendor, goodbye lenin, revenge of the nerds I and II, happiness, ghostworld, lost in translation, aimee and jaguar, venus boyz, monthy python's search of the holy grail, we don't need you, hedwig and the angry inch, welcome to the dollhouse.

Television:

little britain

Books:

I like books about the food industry and how it fucks up the world (read Fast Food Nation and Not On The Label for instance); other stuff: de geheime tuin; moederkruid/dochter van eva; no logo; punk planet-the collected interviews; anti-capitalism, and to be honest, i need to read more (just can't find the time with medical books piling up in my room; still can't afford to pick Foucault or Kerouac over endocrinology).

Heroes:

Women On Waves, Donna, Jody, Sarah D., my friends and sometimes my parents.
