About Me

Hey, nice to meet you! My name is Rosanne. I've lived in the UK for nearly 4 years (London: Southgate and Enfield to be more precize), but since September 2006 I'm back in my native country Holland, where I study Clinical Psychology (in Amsterdam). I love writing, and if your the type that likes reading, please enjoy my blog on myspace, and let me know what you think!

My Interests

Apart from writing my blog on myspace (hope you enjoy it too!), I love cycling! I cycle to work (45 minutes) or to uni (20 minutes) through most kinds of weather. As long as I've got my Ipod and my bike, I can go anywhere.When I'm at home I like playing Freecell (very addictive cardgame) whilst listening to Xfm online. In the weekends I try to go and see as many bands as possbile, but if there's nothing on I love to spend time with my family and my dog Milo.

I'd like to meet:

As many Indie fans as possible - so if you've got the same taste in music (check my top-friends-list) or in books or in men, feel free to add me. Or I might add you! Or if you like my blog of course.

Music:

I feel very narrowminded for saying this, but I only like indie music. And even then only the ones which got good lyrics and a great melody, not those very pretentious bands that nobody understands (goes for the music as well as the lyrics). Good job there are a lot of them about, especially on myspace and Xfm, hence the amount of time I spend on the internet!

Movies:

On one hand I love commercial romantic comedies, on the other I like them a bit weird: Secretary, Little Miss Sunshine, Requim for a dream, etc. Any more suggestions for good films like that, please sent them my way!

Television:

I'm very into american programmes at the moment, watching Desperate Housewives, House and Nip/Tuck. And apart from that some Dutch tv shows that probably none of you have ever heared of, so won't bore you mentioning them!

Books:

My favorite thing to do in the summer is to sit in the sun with a book. I love chick-lits and my favorite writers are Jane Green, Marian Keyes, Chris Manby, Adele Parks and Anna Maxted, because their stories usually have great heroines that are smart and have a sense of humour (no Bridget Jones for me please!).

Heroes:

Probably Freud. If I could have lunch with any person, living or dead it would most certainly be him. I'd have to have some more time to think about questions I'd like to ask him though!
