I was introduced to the Council of Elrond by my good friend Nerwin_Artanis, who is also an admin on this site and who I met on the forums on the IMDb, a few years ago. So relatively speaking, we go way back. I joined in november of 2002, when I was 21 years old; if you want to know how old I am, I'm an Aquarius, you do the math. :) When I joined the site had like 1000 or 2000 members. I met many of the people I talk to regularly back then, and many of them are still good friends of mine.
I'm one of the very few male members of the site, I remember a poll in the Prancing Pony forum, and I think the outcome was that the girls outnumber the guys, 96 to 4. To an outsider that might sound like a handicap but I actually quite enjoy it... I live with 20 other guys and a little femininity is nice for a change. Another thing that sets me apart is the fact that I'm a Dutchman. I've noticed in chat that when I mention that, many people react with "Coolness!". I guess that means that I'm interesting, hehehe...
