I'm Berry (It really is my name) and I'm from The Netherlands. I admit it�s okay to live here but my soul would be happier elsewhere, so it is my dream to go to England (and maybe study or live there). I�d like to stay around Nottingham or even more north, but I�ll just have to wait for the opportunity. Wales, Ireland or Finland would probably work for me too but I've never been there. YET.
Music to me is like blood to a body. I listen to it as much as possible and it keeps me going. Whatever the occasion is, I�ll always have my music to give me strength, to soothen me and just to listen to because music is great. And sometimes when I don�t or shouldn�t listen to music I�ll just listen to the symphony of silence. I have also been making music for quite a while. I've played the keyboard for 5 years and now I play the guitar. I've played the acoustic guitar for one year and the electric guitar for two years and still going. Due to college and work I couldn't take up lessons this year, otherwise I would have probably had guitar lessons for a third year and maybe some vocal training as well.
My most passionate art is poetry. I have been writing poems from a very young age, and yet still the paper and I make a good team together. Currently I'm working on my first thriller novel. I also love to draw and I like to go outdoors and cycle for a few miles..or take a walk. I like to be outside, especially out in nature. Nature is beautiful, yet I can't always be out, unfortunately.
I like a good laugh too; me and my friends always have fun. Friends are really important to me. They�re always there, and we have a lot of fun and good talks together. I tend to be a serious person, though I like humour. I have a (really) dry sense of humour. I may not talk much at first, though when I get to know someone better and feel at home with that one, I will talk quite a lot more or even play the fool.
I'm keen on languages and learning them. I know 7 languages (not saying I can speak them all well) and I want to learn Finnish now too.
What else can I say? I can be sarcastic. I have a temper (but it doesn't show most of the times) though I don't get mad easily unless you know how to annoy me well, but it means that I'm really mad for a really short time. Furthermore I'm just another hopeless romantic (including the clich�s, e.g. candles and sunsets) and a (day)dreamer, believing in true love and wishing for different times. I'm pretty oldfashioned and meanwhile openminded. I�m a also a very spiritual person, tending towards paganism (wicca, druidism etc.) and I enjoy good conversations with openminded people, which can be really random or serious.
Feel free to drop me a comment. If you add me, please leave a message or something, since I think it's rather unpersonal if you add someone to your friends list without having talked to that person. I try to respect everyone and their opinions, beliefs and ideas and hope people will do the same thing for me. I can understand most perspectives and ways of reasoning and if I can't, I will at least try.
I'm in an open relationship with Mirjam (peacehorses). This is out of trust, not from lust. Our relationship is based upon us trusting each other. We don't do it with everyone, we just give each other a bit more space and freedom.
