My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other Amsterdamsters, other Colourkinedians, other SomeVelvetMorningites, other NovaSouldiers...
People I actually KNOW :-)
I am always amused by the approaches from people claiming me as their soul mate and love bunny, especially when it is evident they have not even looked at my profile. So sorry - even if you were the man of my dreams I have probably deleted you!
