Truly? U're remembering me?
Hi there, how're we doing? I have been to the U.K in 2017
I loved the outervieuwings on the mountains ant the Lochs off entire Scotland. I went there by DFDS seaways, from Amsterdam / IJmuiden, and started in Newcastle. I. Just. Loved. It.
I travelled there all by myself, in A once in A lifetime holiday off 9 days all alone, by train. But yet, impressive. (And I'm glad I did so alone.It was an incredible adventure. And yes, I remember you, - from this forum

Fantasy, going to fantasy events, writing Fantasy stories, making fantasy costumes, listening to Celtic and Pagan music, I love Fantasy movies and movies from the ´Golden Hollywood era.´ Like Gone with the Wind. Reading not so much due to concentration issues. Besides that, I prefer historic novels over actual fantasy books. One of my all time favourite books is ´The russian concubine´ by Kate Furnivall. Strange enough, It keeps me reading despite my concentration issues.
Other than that, I really love my job as a reception worker.
also, I´m left winged in politics. And I enjoy a good discussion about equal rights and good health care.
What about you?

I sometimes go to fantasy events. The customs are cool, but expensive and time-consuming to make, so I usually just wear ears and a tail.
I don't read much either. When I do read, I read informative books about animals or about art.
I love my job as a game artist.
I'm left-winged in politics as well, enjoy a good discussion about pretty much everything, and as a gay person with lots of health issues that works at a company that makes medical games, I care about equal rights/opportunities and health care too.
Besides that, I love kids, dogs, all animals in the weasel family, 2d/stopmotion animation and gore.

You can get away with just wearing ears and a tail there, so why not?
That sounds pretty cool. So, you're a real artist? How cool is that.
Yay for left-winged thinking!
I'm more of a cat-person to be honest, and with cats, I mean all kinds of cats, from house pets to lions and panthers and evereything in between. I love kids too. However, sometimes I find seeing them confronting since with my disease, I shouldn't have them. I have schizophrenia... but I'm not dangerous. It's just that I become a bit of a lunatic without meds. And I've always dreamed of having a kid.
What kind of music are you into?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True.
Cats are cute, but I'm very allergic to them. 
I don't want kids that are biologically mine because of genetic faults in my family, but there are other options.
I like a lot of different kinds of music..

Actually, it's just a daycare centre for sick people. (From being close to blind, to heart patient to being schizophrenic, sounds worse than it is. We come off pretty normal, it's just that we have 'something') However, it's a very serious job and I love it. If they had to pay me propperly for it, they'd owe me a lot of money, but I don't do it just for the money, it's merely that I want to feel usefull in society and that I want to work despite my disease. I could become a couch potato now because I have an income so I don't have to work, but I just want to.
Both. Kids can heir my disease, and I'm afraid that I'm a downright slob when it comes to the household... I'm not irresponsible, I would take raising them very serious, teaching them manners, helping them with homework as much as I can, wishing them to be happy and enjoy life to the fullest, it's just that when feeling bad, I can't set myself to household chores... strange enough. that is officially a part of the disease... on the other hand, if I were to find a nice and reliable man who would like to do the household and who would support me with all the love in the world, then it would be a diffrent story. But it still doesn't take away the chance of them heiring it. (Around 11 or 13 % chance, I know it sounds like a low chance, but it's there and it happens quite often for kids to heir it.) And I have been single my entire life. I don't see a man comming soon. To be honest, I have never been very desirable on the 'love-market'... I feel like being some kind of a werewolf with all of this on my neck. And I believe they won't let someone with schizophrenia adopt a kid.
I don't like speedcore, as I associate it with school-bullies, but some 'symphonic' metal like Within Temptation sure is fine with me. (If it was only for the dresses Sharon used to wear... *drool* !)
I see you also live in the Netherlands... what kind of Fantasy Events do you go to? Elfia? Castlefest? There might be a chance for us to meet there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I prefer to work too, so I get that. 
11 to 13% is actually quite a lot..
It's good that you take it so seriously though. Kudos.
I can relate to how you feel about dating, but don't.
Everyone has some issues and if you're honest to people about what they're getting into, you have nothing to feel bad about.
I hate that kind of metal. 
But yeah, I get that it'd remind you of some crappy people. hardcore/industrial -ish music attracts a lot of jerks and I don't go to concerts or whatever because of it either. D:
Whichever one my friends drag me to.

To be honest, I feel a little sad because I'm not and never will be up to the insanely high standards of a guy I'm actually into. But he's too high class and a little snobby. Most people say he's probably not worth of me, but still, it itches. I'm not into him because of his wealth, I'm into him because of, well... some kind of strange feeling he gives me. I'm drawn to his face... but he doesn't like me back that way. I'm a big idiot... I shouldn't fall for wealthy guys who wear tuxedo's during daytime.
But you're right. Even tough saying I have schizophrenia can be a bit of a turn off for a lot of people. However, if they love me, they will love all of me.
As for Castlefest, I have a bad history with that one... I had a fight with the head organizer about 5 years ago. I thought I made up with him, (In a private message on Facebook.) but a lot of people there still see me as garbage. I believe they don't know about me telling him I was sorry. I keep on trying and trying again to go there (And not only there, but to most of Vana's events like Keltfest and Haunted Castle...) and try to be nice and such, but they can't seem to get over with it. Even tough I explained some of my behaviour was schizophrenia-driven, as I did that before I got on meds. Mark's (= Mark van der Stelt, head organizer) second man Frank is such an arrogant asshole when it comes to it. I don't want to feel guilty for eternity, since most of what I did wasn't my fault. So I'm thinking of skipping it, despite them having Faun (One of my favourite bands) playing on my birthday. And going to Elfia Arcen instead.
I look forward to that, since I have never been there before, and my best festival friend will go there with me this year. I have to wait untill september for that one, but hopefully it's worthit the wait.

I feel like people that seem too perfect probably have a lot to hide..
Exactly. If they don't want you because of that, it wouldn't have worked out either way. It's best to just be honest about who you are.
D: Ah, that sucks.. What happened?
Elfia is fun too.

Well, I used to want to volunteer on Keltfest, since it looked like a cool thing to do and it was when they hired me. It´s just that I blew it up due to my motorical disorder. I had kitchen service (I had to help preparing food for volunteers), and I screwed it up by cutting slow and uneven, when I found out that it wasn´t something for me, I took off for too long of one of my breaks too so I wouldn´t stand them in the way. I think they might have assumed that it was laziness or something... but it wasn´t.
I thought to myself... if the kitchen isn´t for me, then maybe their info-stand might have worked for me. I just wanted to be sure if I could sign up again for volunteering, so I asked Frank in a forum PM. I left out that I blew my first job up due to that disorder since it´s something I used to prefer to hide from nosy people. (It´s something with a dark past. They don´t know how much pain that disorder caused me at school when I was about 6 or 7 and couldn´t come with... In the ´90´s, not being able to write propperly by hand must have been a disaster... I used to have extra classes for gym and writing back then, and though I never felt like an outsider, it wasn´t something I was fond of telling. I got myself rid of that stigma when I was 18 and able to write my own handwriting (Readable enough for most teachers back then.) and do everything as I pleased. I didn´t want to tell anyone there, since I didn´t want to be treated diffrently. to be honest, It hadn´t shown up in years untill that kitchen-disaster on Keltfest.
Frank didn´t answer me for about months and months, everyone told me not to be rude since Vana Events was always busy with events and such, but after the most events ended, I expected a nice ´Yes´ or ´No.´ I wouldn´t have mind the latter one since a rejection isn´t the worst that can happen in life. And I blew it up, so it wouldn´t have been anything but logical to reject me, but there was no answer at all. So I decided to write another e-mail, this time explaining Why it went wrong and asking for permission to sign up for something diffrent, but again no answer. So I started to complain on their forum with my nickname ´Starlight.´ No one got why I was complaining, I wasn´t eager to tell, so they just saw it as bitching. I would have never done that if things would have gone allright and if Vana would have just given me an answer. It ment the world for me back then since I loved volunteering, even though the kitchen wasn´t for me. That´s part one of the story...

If they're so busy, then more volunteers would be extra useful. So it's kinda stupid for them to ignore you.
You probably shouldn't have taken it to the forums, but I get it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it sure was. Everyone seemed to have lost their common sense back then, but it was 5 years ago. I just wish to move on with life.
I still go to like, almost every Vana Event. It´s just that the big bosses there can´t stand me due to their own stupidity... You know, boss men will be boss men, no matter whetether they wear a suit or dreadlocks.
I´m sorry to have let you wait this long. I was busy recently.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, bitchiness and group mentality exists everywhere.
That's okay, I've been busy too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I got over it a little. I have been thinking the previous month about it, I have been through quite a process. I shouldn´t let them bug me so much anymore. I should go on with life, if Vana wants to be childish, then they know what happens, right? Then I´ll post another weblog on my well-watched blog about it, giving them bad publicity. If they don´t want that to happen, I believe they better should behave nice or at least normal towards me. I don´t accept such nonsense towards me. From no one.
They also know that I write good blogs about them if they and their fanbase behaved nice on an event.
I feel less hurt now than I did last month.

Haiii!!! how are you doing?

I'm doing OK! How are you? I didn't know you were Dutch!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can tell by checking out my profile page
I'm doing very fine. Busy but fine.
You are from Singapore according to your page. That is really cool. I've heard technology is further developed in your country.
And I've seen a picture which looks Dutch on your profile page.. I don't know if that is correct.
Haha, as long as you don't think I'm on weeds all the time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes, I am from Singapore. I think when it comes to technology, we're about the same. You guys have more land and nature to speak of than us, though. And I was just travelling there for 9 days recently! Came back last week.
And oh, no, I don't think a lot of Dutch people smoke weed at all. It's mostly the obnoxious tourists... I didn't even do it while I was there, mainly because I wanted to be safe and I was travelling mostly alone, so I didn't dare to do it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, how typicall! If we ever get to know each other better, you are welcome at my home for something to drink (Non-alcoholic, I´m sorry, but I´m not allowed to drink alcohol in this house...) if you ever got back to The Netherlands. It´s not likely that I will ever go to Singapore, Because I´m not that rich.
Yes, nature over here can be pretty, It´s not as wide as in other european countries, but it´s there and it sure does look good
Good girl! You can enjoy this country much better if you are clean. I have never had them before and I don´t feel like trying.
What were your favourite sight-seeings?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure, I'll take you up on your invitation when I go there again.
I enjoyed walking around Utrecht and Zeist as well as to see the sceneries along the way. Very scenic and beautiful... and a lot of trees and open spaces.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. Utrecht sure is beautifull. I have never been to Zeist myself, Ha, I live in this country for my entire life and I don´t even know everything.
Yes, there are a lot of open spaces in this country, It´s mainly where farmers have their meadows, or where the highways (I don´t even dare to compare it to American highways, but I can´t find another word for it) are.
I live in a city close to Amsterdam called Zaandam. I myself actually like Amsterdam, but that is because I know some cool places to buy cloth and fabric, and a shop where they have cool jewelry and a cool fantasy shop. But if you aren´t familiair with where to go, I can imagine that it can get a little too much of everything. (Too much people, too much canals, too much of the same) But it sure is fun to go there with friends.
I admire you for being able to travel and just doing it. (I´m not jealous, I´m only jealous when it comes to love. This is more of a cool thing) I´m not likely to travel a lot very soon. But it sounds so cool!
I´ll be sure to have coffee when you come over.

You can always explore when you have the time. 
I love travelling! My goal is to see a new country/city every year, so by the time I'm 60, I would have covered at least 40-50 different countries or cities in my life.

Being not rich enough to travel, mainly,
That sounds very awesome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You will have the money to do so eventually!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, maybe one day. But at the moment travelling is not an option. But I can keep on dreaming
