I'm 25, Dutch, been living in Amsterdam all my life. I'm a game design student in my final year and work in a shoe shop on weekends to pay the dreaded bills. I realize games and shoes are a strange combination but I suppose so is my personality.​ An odd combination of a lot of very different things.
I'm looking for interesting,​ fun people to mail/chat with. Send me a message, I don't bite :) Usually. 

Like: games, game design, shoes, hard rock & metal, shopping, leather, Angelina Jolie, 80's action movies, cats, chocolate, Henry Cavill, mountains, fire, pasta, airports, high heels, autumn, liberals, history, concerts, carrot cake, basil, writing, pretty things, forests, the UK, big earrings, maps, reading, newspapers, Guitar Hero, writing, BBC historical dramas, stupid internet humour, Monet, puppies, shortbread, surgery on TV, lists/top 10's of useless things, random statistics.

Dislike: hiphop, iPhones and Macbooks (to all the upset Apple fans, it's because: #1 I'm a gamer. Games and Macs don't mix. #2 I want to RIGHT CLICK! Aaah!!), public restrooms, low v-neck shirts on men, Tom Cruise, crowded beaches, chick lit, religious influence in government, squatters, noise, most Dutch music, Crocs, Uggs, lamb meat, coriander, long train journeys, cold, Jennifer Aniston, bodywarmers,​ cheesy tattoos, most sports (when it's football World/Europe​ Cup though... I might suddenly wear orange).

Try harder than "how are you" or "hi"​. That's all. Marriage requests are most welcome and will be taken into serious consideratio​n. Really. I'll just roll my eyes a bit.
