Amid all the Easter baking (I have something new in the oven again right now), we got tagged for a meme by Vegan Dad (mostly, I suspect, because he was afraid of tagging Isa!). Still, woo! Our first meme.
Anyway, the idea is to share 5 new things about yourself. Here I go.
1. I am a linguistics geek. Syntax is hot. I study it and I'm involved in proper linguistic research (I was asked for this last year, which is very cool, because I don't even have a Bachelor's degree yet). So yes, I do 'speriments. WITH KIDS.
2. I love politics and I am an active member of the Young Greens. I'm the chairman of the Utrecht group. We do a lot of fun stuff. We're planning something involving penguin suits and green paint at the moment.
3. I draw flowers and penguins during classes. Here's a drawing of a penguin chasing a butterfly:
4. I have a British accent. I went to a bilingual high school, where half my classes were in English, and I've gone on to study English. Because of this and because of talking to Adele frequently, all traces of Dutchness have been completely eroded away. It's kinda weird.
5. I wear apple stickers on my hands. I don't know why, I've done it for years. I think it's pretty.
I'm going to tag (in alphabetical order): Bonnie, Chelsea and Josh, Mihl, Cristy and Paul (and Lily) and Romina.

He isn't. :P
Thanks for tagging me! I'll try to think of 5 things...
oh, and hooray for British accents! that's pretty cool.
What a cute penguin!
Haha I am a grammar nerd ;o). I took a class of Linguistics my freshman year, though, and I loved it! It was fascinating, and the professor was terrific.
See? Wasn't that fun? Accents are weird, aren't they? I knew a guy in university from Germany who learned English in Scotland. Boy, did he have an odd accent.
linguistics = awesome
romina - I just love the syntax trees! They're like little puzzles. I think everyone has a knack for something.
adele - shush you.
bonnie - looking forward to those! British accents rock. They're like scones in voice form.
chocolatecoveredvegan - thanks! Grammar is fascinating, especially the bit where you tell other people what they're doing wrong.
vegan dad - yeah, I had a lot of fun coming up with these. I had a professor who had studied in New York and in Glasgow. He had a Scottish and a heavy New York accent at the same time. Very weird...
magpie - definitely.
