Hi all you beautiful spinning people!!!
After all this time living anonymously amongst you, I finally felt the urge to introduce myself.
I live in the beautiful coastal city of Ostende in Belgium
I was born on the 10th of October 1975
I'm currently a ppl manager in an interim agency, but I'm a journalist and writer at heart.
I'd kill for Thai food, but my all time favourite has to be eating grey shrimp accompagnied by a freshly served Rodenbach on a terras in the sun.
Favorite Color(s):
from black to white and everything in between
Toys:
poi, juggling, but open to suggestions ;o)
Hobbies other than the obvious:
beachreading, beachsleeping, diving
Education:
not enough, but learning every day
Favorite Book(s):
Dark Tower series
Necroscope series
Favorite Movie(s):
shakespeare in love
matrix series
Favorite TV show(s):
bweuuuuurk
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up)
growing up is for pussies
Favorite Music Artists/Composers:
depends on my mood
from chopin to megadeath
from Sinatra to LTJ Bukem
Favorie ice cream flavor(s):
Vanilla icecream with freshly sliced strawberries, with molten fondant chocolate and grilled almonds...
Has got to be Nutella...

Hope to hear from you all!!!
Love,
B

Well, for starters, there is another way to pronouncing sch- or g-. One without sounding like cat that goes berserk or sounding like you're about to spit into your conversation partners eye.

I can handle the spit, it's just the sound of it that drives me crazy.
It didn't stop me from having some Dutch girlfriends though.
In fact, the way Dutch girls abuse their language is kinda sexy...

I've never had a Dutch girlfriend.
Or boyfriend.
Hmmmmm... maybe it's because I don't get the subtleties of the language abuse? In German, yous all sound like Rudi Carell and Linda de Mol
(or maybe it's because I'm a bit of an anglophile at heart...)

Do I have to defend the Dutch ones now? Oh great.
O.k., ... hm ... I love the Dutch language, because ...
the grammar is nice. Very easy. It is more like: just do whatever you want to do and don't bother about the rest. (This pretty much goes with the lifestyle here).
About German: it is nice because you can tell the words apart (in contrast to French). But the grammar is definitely too complicated and all those spelling reforms definitely messed up my mind

I never had to learn German grammar... if I'd had to, I'd hate it! But to OUR defence, it's easier than Finnish!
And I'm not too bothered about the spelling reforms... apparently there's a Windows update though so you can auto-correct them.

now slow down, little miss.
I'm a native German speaker, I just left the country last december and already lost track of all those
grammar changes (windows is not the ideal alternative to some grammar lectures).
And about Finnish and German: well, I guess this depends on what your native tongue is and which languages you already speak. (I'll spare you elaborations on the morphological structure of languages)

unless you speak Hungarian or Turkish, Finnish wins on the difficulty scale
Not sure about Estonian, might be quite similar but I've never bothered to read up on it!
Now I should really go and tidy my flat, but the computer's so much more fun

Estonian seems to be a bit like a mixture of Finnish and Russian ... and yes, I should still write some stuff, too ... actually, it's not only "should", it's more like "have to" ... hmmm

Have decided to go and get the "I don't do subtle" top printed out after all. Better to warn people BEFORE they get to know me!!

Your quote, nutella and LTJ Bukem. Not bad. Good intro. Do you climb? Or has someone already asked that question?
By the way where do you get your equipment from?
