    Relationships

    I've been in two 'serious' relationships but they never lasted all that long, mostly because I'm a very impulsive and I lose interest in romantic partners very easily. I feel pretty bad about that sometimes, because my exes have both been genuinely sweet and amazing people who loved me very...

    Are you single or not ?

    I'm 19 years old, turning 20 in a month. At age 17 I lost weight and changed the way I dressed, which resulted in a sudden significant rise in male attention which I had never experienced before. Since then I've kinda just gone from guy to guy, I'm not much of a commitment person in general.

    Poll: How do you feel about death penalty?

    I strongly oppose it. I personally feel like every single person is redeemable and I don't think there's a single human being on earth that deserves to be killed. The justice system should serve not only to punish crime but to prevent it, you're not preventing anything by murdering people for...

    Helping me out with my research project into Phonemic Awareness

    Dear fellow Escapists, Sorry to interrupt the forums with a non-gaming related issue. Let's get right to it: I need your help. I'm a first year English student at the University of Amsterdam and I'm currently working on a research project into Phonemic Awareness. What does that mean? It's...

    So I got a tumblr account...

    As previous posters have said, it's filled with overenthusiastic fandoms ( I just think it's cute. Those people are apparently very passionate about what they like, and I say good for them) and some social justice warriors. Your Tumblr experience depends on yourself entirely though, if you don't...

    Halloween costumes!

    To two Halloween parties, I'm going as 'tavern wench'. I still need to find my beer stein. It'll be fun

    Pixar's Brave - Good movie or bad?

    Very enjoyable. Not quite the groundbreaker that Up or other Pixar movies are known for being, but it's still a great movie. I loved Merida's personality.

    Explain Why You are the Sexiest User!

    I bet the water bottle was completely smitten. I'm obviously the sexiest seeing as I tried the same thing and ended up shoving the bottle just into my face. http://s1331.photobucket.com/user/Aletta05/media/Picture1698_zpsae46bc3f.jpg.html I'm such an idiot sometimes

    Would you support a cure for homosexuality and transexualism?

    The word 'cure' implies some kind of disease which transsexuality or homosexuality obviously isn't. There's nothing wrong with it. There's something deeply wrong with a society that is still quite transphobic and homophobic. So if there would be a 'cure'. Give it those ignorant, unaccepting...

    Ben Affleck is the next Batman

    All I know is that Ben Affleck is a good actor and apparently Argo was pretty good. Haven't seen it yet. I think we should give the guy a chance. Heck, you only really know if the person if fit for the part once you've actually seen him do it. I also didn't think Heath Ledger would make a good...

    Are you Patriotic?

    I am Dutch. I like things about my country but, like any other, it has many flaws. I think our policies on drugs are working well although not perfectly. Also, I think Amsterdam is a great and beautiful city. Being proud of your country is a great thing to be and no one should be ashamed of...

    Poll: Dragon Age vs Dragon Age: The Battle Continues!

    I prefer Dragon Age: Origins. I liked the choices you were faced with more, it wasn't always a choice between evil and good which I loved. For me they were really difficult on some occasions. The story was great. However, Dragon Age 2 was by no means a bad game. I liked the changes to combat and...

    How do you react to being hit on/checked out?

    Suprised and uncomfortable. I wish it would be different, but I'm no femme fatale and whenever some guy looks at me or tries to get my attention I just walk away embarrassed or smile awkwardly. I wish I'd be a bit 'smoother' in that regard but nobody's perfect.

    Have you ever won something?

    I got to third place in a poetry competition when I was in school. I don't know why though, my entry was terrible. That's about it.

    Poll: Do you want an apology?

    I've really forgiven them already. There's usually a reason for bullies to bully. Most of the time they're just a mess of emotional issues and I actually kind of pity them. I hope they are in a better place now.
