Hi! And welcome to my userpage. My name is Sebastiaan "Bas" Soetermans. I'm a 20 year old male from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I've been around here for two years now, I suppose. Most of my activities here on Wikipedia are of minor significance, but I do my part :-D
[edit] A little about me
I was born in Amsterdam, quite the lovely place. I grew up in Landsmeer, a town just above my country's capital. I attented the local Montessori method elementary school. I didn't do anything there, really. My high school was the Bredero College, named after the Dutch poet and playwright Bredero. I've been a full time student at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam, where I studied to become a history teacher. I got my first year diploma (propedeuse, I don't know if its got an British / American equivalent). Right now I'm in my freshman year. I'm studying religion & philophy at the VU University. I'm really enjoying it, it's a lot of hard work but very interesting. I used to work at a Häagen-Dazs shop, scooping icecream and making coffee and such. It really took a lot of my time, so I had to quit. Right now I work at Videoland, a Dutch chain of film rental shops - it's great, I can lend everything. The other day I saw Little Children, I really recommend to you!
[edit] My significant other
Eventhough I'm just a kid (I consider myself to be one), I've found the love of my life. She is the most precious thing in this meaningless existence of mine. Her name is Robin (which is rather normal in the US, over here it is quite rare) and she is the sweetest girl you'll never meet. Her hair is darkbrown, like her eyes. She's got this soft skin to die for and the sweetest smile. I adore her.
[edit] My interests and hobbies
Music
I'm a big fan of music. Really, I am. I like all sorts. You name it, jazz, hip hop, dance, metal... I hope I can get a job at a record store anytime soon. My favorite artists are U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the currently defunct N*E*R*D. I also think highly of The Ramones, The Cure, Miles Davis, Joy Division and Public Enemy among others.
Right now in my frequent playlist (I use iTunes):
Film and photography
Film and photography is a good second to my love for music. I wrote down film and photography, because I'm fond of movies and videos and everything that has something to do with those two. A while I worked at the cinema, and I've seen a lot of movies, good and bad. I haven't got any specific favorite, but my most-favored are without a doubt The Godfather, Rushmore, The Shawshank Redemption, Amélie, The Blues Brothers, The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, and last but certainly not least, Star Wars (Episode V and III are the best, in my opinion).
For sometime now I'm into music videos. Michel Gondry, Mark Romanek, Anton Corbijn, Chris Cunningham, Spike Jonze... Fantastic work.
History
I'm very interested in history, and I've read quite a lot of books, for a normal guy, my age. I find modern history the most interesting, the German unification, the Interbellum, that kind of stuff.
