I am here for Friends

About Me

Hi, my name's Magda, I'm a journalist at a regional newspaper here in the Netherlands. Most of my time at this point in my life is invested in my job.

Besides that, I love music. Rock, goth, electro, you name it. I have been singer in a couple of bands (if they even deserved to be called a 'band'), but still hope to find a better group of people to make music with. I the mean time, I have a project with my partner in life & crime, Alain, called Broken Circuit, as you can hear right now.
Most of my love's free time is spent on his great band, Misery, and I love to tag along with them. That way I can enjoy every performance and make myself useful by selling their cd's and tshirts. And talk to interesting people, ofcourse. So, feel free to take a look around here in my myspace!
Did I mention I'm half Polish? Don't speak Polish though, wish I did...

My Interests


Journalism, singing, America, Poland, and a hell of a lot more. Right now I've taken up drawing again, amongst other things I'm trying to design my own tattoo. I'm getting there ^-^

I'd like to meet:

Interesting, creative people, someone to make music with, you name it!

Music:

Rock, electronic music, goth and just music in general. Bands like: Misery, HIM, Apoptygma Berzerk, Eric Martin, Type O Negative, Nightwish...

Movies:

Television:

House, Heroes, The Ghost Whisperer, Star Trek, Bottom, Blackadder, Dr. Phil even!

Books:

The Vampire Chronicles - before Anne Rice went Christian....currently reading a lot of 'Teach yourself Polish'-type books

Heroes:

Betty Page, Dita vond Teese and Morticia Adams are my heroes when it comes to style, haha!
