I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm originally from The Netherlands but emigrated to the UK in 1997 after meeting Dean (Shadowstone_UK) and refusing to go back home - hey, who can blame me! I'm a Graphic Designer/Mac Operator/Artworker and work for a company specialised in the green sector - ie I look at pretty pictures of flowers all day - 's not a bad job!

My Interests

Celtic and tribal art, bushcraft (survival), travelling, learning new stuff, languages (currently Japanese), dancing, etc.

I'd like to meet:

New friends!

Music:

I like anything with a smooth flowing synth, distinct drum beat and lots of layered sounds and melodies. This often means I like New Wave, Goth, Synthpop and 80s.My favourite bands include: The Cure, Camouflage, Mission UK, New Model Army, (Clan of) Xymox, The Essence, The Smiths, Crux Shadows, Front 242, Pop Will Eat Itself, And One and Gary Numan.I also like slightly weird and unusual stuff such as Spiderdust by Belcanto, or King Volcano by Bauhaus. I guess it's why I like a lot of Siouxie songs as well.Currently my favourite Synthpop track is Living on video by Trans-x. I LOVE the synth duo - best listened to on stereo headphones!

Movies:

Lord of the Rings (Complete Trilogy), Serenity, Iron Monkey, Sixth Sense, Dogma, Shanghai Noon

Television:

Firefly, Futurama, Family Guy, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, 4400, Life on Mars, Coupling (all but final series), Mark Steel Lectures, Dr Who, Ranma 1/2, Lost, various documentaries.

Books:

"Only Forward" by Michael Marshall Smith is by far the best novel I've read so far. Other than that I mostly read educational books about Graphic desgin, Photoshop, Illustrator, Applescript, Mac OS, Japanese, Chinese, spelling and grammar, amongst others. ... It would be nice if I could speed read.
