Hello!

A little about me
As you all know, I'm Faith (Jorine in real life) and I'm 17 years old. I live in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands. Last year I graduated from highschool and now I study Pabo (I will be a Kindergarten teacher in a couple of years) at The Hague University. In my spare time, I like acting, dancing, singing, theatre, movies, and photography.

I also love webdesign. I recently bought a domain (finally): Annon-Edhellen.org, yeah I love Lord of the Rings too, as well as the Harry Potter series (both movies and books). My mother language is Dutch, although sometimes it seems English is coming close to that too. Next to Dutch and English, I also speak French, a little bit of German and a little bit Norwegian. Yeah, I'm more of a Language person than a Maths/Science/Physics person.

In June 2005 you can all come to see me onstage. I'll be playing in Shakespeare's MacBeth. It will be an opera playing in Jeugdtheater Hofplein in Rotterdam. If you don't come, I'll hunt you down with a bamboo stick, like Ning suggested. :P Lol.

Why I joined
A friend of mine gave me the DMB link (board.regretless.com in that time), and I decided to join, because it looked so nice and clean. The other message boards I saw were crappy and the users had huge avatars, and there were popups. DMB had none of that, so I decided to join. I made a lot of friends on DMB, I just hope it's likewise from their side :P.

My best DMB memory.. it's so hard, because there are so many. I loved watching all the Daily Grinds. I couldn't participate the Blogathon, because I was celebrating holidays. But, maybe the best memory doesn't have to be a good memory. In my period on DMB, a few terrible things happened. But you guys, you comforted me with virtual shoulders to cry on. You helped me pass that time. I think that's my best DMB memory.

How often do you visit DMB?
When don't I?
