hey peeps!

Biography (from the Greek words bios meaning "life", and graphein meaning "write"). A biography is more than a list of impersonal facts like birth, education, work, relationships and death. It also delves into the emotions of experiencing such events.

First the impersonal facts:

- born: May 11th, 1982, the most beautiful girl in the world my parents had seen, yeah yeah, every mother and father say that right?

- education: A bachelor in social work and a Master in Communication Sciences. And English sucked big time before I started reading and writing fanfiction and it's still not great though. English is my 2nd language, please keep that in mind when you read all the mistakes I wrote.

- work: I pass most of my time at the University, where I work. I am doing my PhD about the representations of teenagers in popular American and Flemish teen series and the impact those images have on their identity construction. Quite interesting, if I say it myself. Nope, Prison Break isn't part of the research, but that would have been nice, I know rewriting my PhD so PB can be a part of it

- relationships: daughter of my parents, sister of two lovely darts playing brothers (29 and 21), friend at house of the entire Hollywood-population and sexual partner of the perfect Robert Pattinson look a like Pieterjan. Just as Mister Pattison he is blond, thin and sexy as hell! Hihi, and maybe I have more relationships, but I am not going to tell that here, maybe my boyfriend is looking, haha.

- death: nope, still breahting, in and out, inhale, exhale. Although 2007 was kind of a disaster year: the day before my 25th birthday I was transferred to the hospital because of a huge lung clutter, blocking the way to my heart. The doctors told my parents I was about to die (nope, not kidding this time) but I fought like a mad woman and here I am. I am here, right? This is not kinda of ghost that is typing this, right?! But the stay at Intensive Care was great, a splendid meal for my 25th birthday, my friends dressed as sexy nurses and doctors, a good dj (he was a fan of the tuuuuut tuuuuut tuuuuut thing), several IV's in my arms for the alcohol, it was da max! Black humor is my cup of tea, but I guess you had noticed that already!

So far, the boring and necessary part of my life, now the interesting part!

I was a lurker before, reading stuff without reviewing. And I felt good about that. Until I saw all the fun I missed, so I logged in, and real life on the boards started for me! Peeps, real life is so much better than being a lurker. Since I have logged in, I have met several peeps here on the boards, friends we call each other, so please, stop being a lurker and give yourself the fun you deserve!

I'm a writer now too, and Collide is my new baby I try to take care of. If you like Collide, please, give me the love a writer deserves to have: reviews peeps, reviews lead me through the day!

Besides being a PB-MISA-and Twilight-addict, I am a huge rugby fan too. My best friend is a member of the Belgian national rugby team and whenever I have the chance to watch her tackle all those girls, I am there to scream her to the next victory! I would like to play it too, but because of my health problems, I am not allowed to do contact-sports. But, I don't mind, being a supporter is fun too (especially when the male rugby players are supporting too smirks)!

I am a dance girl too, music makes me move; from Beyonce to the Chemical Brothers, from The Foo Fighters to Muse and back to Kings of Leon, even Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are on my iPod! If it's danceable, it's good for me! I am not picky at all! Oh and a filmfreak too, but not the American blockbusters, give me an alternative movie and I am the happiest girl in the world! Pedro Almodovar is my favorite! Although I have to admit that I'm giving in... I went to see the Dark Knight... twice and Twilight... four times. But anyone who read the book knows how good they are and how addictive the series is...

Since my little crazy niece Luna (Moon in Italian) was born 3,5 years ago, my mother instinct increases with every minute that ticks away. She sometimes has a bad mouth (she pronounces the word 'shut up' and 'god dam' perfectly) but she is the queen of coolness! She rocks! And since that mother instinct has increased, I see potential father-partners every where! Monogamy is my thing, trust me, but hey, if you open your eyes and see all those good looking guys, then I curse the man that invented monogamy. It's a man that invented that, all bad things are invented by men smirks!

Thanks for reading my biography,

Elke
