<sup>Hello, Alexander Van der Meer.

» Is there anything you would rather be called?
"My parents named me Alexander, I always felt like that name was so official, not to mention common, so I go by Lex. Lex is a shortening of the name Alexander, this is purely Dutch. So there, ha! …I win.”

» Great, now that we've got that covered. How old are you?
"I am eighteen…I really should figure out when my half birthday is...”

» Thanks! Slipped my mind. Now, do you know the super secret code word?
"how strange – emilie autumn"</sup>

<sup>Let's talk about your personality.

» What are a few of your favorite things?
“I find enjoyment in young women, order, strategizing, scheming, and cleanliness. There is nothing worse then grime. I keep my kitchen at home flawless, as is my garden. What? A man like me can’t have a perfect garden? Then I suppose you’d find it amusing that I like bunnies? Hush up. I like collecting things, coins, stamps, just… stuff, collecting and trading, and windmills.Oh, and marijuana isn’t a bad thing, it’s a choice. It may be why I ended up here. What’s it to you? I like those things, those Ugly Dolls."

»That's interesting. Is there anything you absolutely dislike?
“Wouldn’t it be fair to assume I hate the things that are the opposite of my likes? I dislike people who take no responsibility for their messes, and I hate cheaters. God I hate them. I also dislike people who poke fun at people to fuel their own amusement of course inwardly I quite enjoy such things . I don’t like it when people betray me, and I don’t like it when people steal from me. The end."

» Hm, what is your greatest fear?
"Being taken advantage of, or made a fool of in front of people I respect. Or being taken advantage of by people who I feel are close to me. I also hold strong distaste for people who threaten or harm people close to me. I will make sure no one close to me is hurt. Fact."

» Yeah, that is scary. Do you have any dreams for the future?
"For my future? I hope my bunny has babies. But I suppose that isn’t my job, that’s the animals. I do hope that I can go into the wilderness, someday, and help map it out. Simply put, I wish to become a cartographer, a job that would have been more fun a few hundred years ago. Now I’d just go into it for the adventure. I like adventure, you see, but I like order, and those two rarely go well together. But I believe a good combination of them is to map out wilderness. Take the wild and tame it. "

» Wow, I hope you succeed. Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
"There really isn’t that much to say about myself. I am a eighteen year old Dutch male. I smoke marijuana, and I have a Lolita complex specific interest in who I am attracted to, and I have bunnies at home. Some people find me a downer, I don’t think I am. If I don’t like you, then yes, I am going to be a negative ‘downer’, but otherwise I think I’m a pretty good guy. It takes a lot to make me dislike you, so everyone should be fun. There is only so much I can say about myself here without feeling to narcissistic, I suppose you will have to find out more about me as time goes on. Yes?"</sup>

<sup>So far so good. Now for history.

» So tell me, where are you from? What did you think of it?
"I was born in Burges, like my zuster and broer, and I lived with ‘em for a while, till I was about thirteen. I was a good kid, emphasis on the word kid. Life was good, but as I got older hit puberty I…well, something changed, considering how… stubborn I got. I don’t want to go into what I did, or how things went down, but it ended up with me moving away from my parents and living with my aunt and uncle. I got into a few fights at school, once the news reached home it just went downhill. Stubborn and violent…Not to mention hormones, it just wasn’t good. So I was shipped off. I didn’t find myself missing my parents as much as I felt I should, though my sister, Elsie, yes, I did miss her, but what choice did I have? Whatever…

The Worldwide Boarding School is my second boarding school, I spent a while at school, in Holland. Yes, there I was under the care of my Aunt and Uncle…But I was put in boarding school. Way to get rid of me? Ugh, after graduating elementary school I continued onto a high school in Amsterdam, and things didn’t go over too well there. I was somewhat of a delinquent, experimenting and finding out more about what I could and couldn’t do. Find out what I liked, and what I didn’t like. Some things I shouldn’t do, but I do…did, them anyway.. It didn’t take long for me to be kicked out. Since boarding school seemed to be good for me I found myself signed up for here. That is how I ended up here, what I surprise I had when I found out Elise was also attending. Family reunion?”

» Do you have any other family? Parents? Siblings? Extended? What do you think about them?
"…Let’s talk about my Aunt and Uncle, I do love them, very much. I don’t blame them for sending me away, I was far from a good child. But they were nice to me, and fed me, and kept me clothed. They paid for my first boarding school, and now this one. Sure, it’s a trade off, you know, get rid of me to a place where certain habits are not permitted, but they pay. Besides, it’s interesting here… So, sure, I love them, but I am not sure if I really do, or if I do simply because I feel obligated to do so.”

» What is your worst memory/memories?
"The day I had to leave, hands down. It was even worse knowing that it was my own fault. My actions drove the separation. I don’t even know anymore, I just remember the feeling, the feeling of guilt. I managed to push my parents far enough they got rid of me… Fuck. I don’t know. Next question, please…"

» What is your best memory/memories?
" One of my best memories is probably when I got my bunny, Miffy or Nijntje, she is a Holland Lop and she has a heart-shaped spot on her back. She’s a sweet animal, I got her when she was still tiny, and I suppose she was one of the few things I took responsibility for, considering she’s still alive. I got her when I was a toddler, from a litter of rabbits that were being given away, of course Miffy was the runt. Somehow that encouraged me to take her home, and I did. I am proud to say, I may have failed at most other things in my life, but I kept her and her little heart-shaped spot alive on this earth, and I cannot wait to get home, so I can see her again. This damn place doesn’t allow pets. One day soon I’ll get Miffy in."

» Where are you now? What are you doing with your life?
" I honestly have no idea, really… It’s just.. I could be a writer? I just want to move back home, and I want to get accustomed to it, oh, and my home I mean Holland, and find something to do there. I don’t know, having a family I don’t screw up would be nice, or maybe just having Miffy back. I mean, I know I’m eighteen, and my Aunt and Uncle nag me over making big decisions, but I can honestly say there’s nothing I’m truly passionate about. So, for now, I’m thinking a writer, or maybe an illustrator, I do quite enjoy water colors… I hope I figure this out soon, being lost is getting tiresome…"</sup>
