Hi, I'm Soetermans, welcome to my userpage. My name is Sebastiaan "Bas" Soetermans. I'm a 28-year old pastoral care student. I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Studies and work
After high school I studied to become a history teacher for a while, went to university for philosphy and history, but it wasn't for me. I took a year off, worked at a restaurant as a barista and a bartender and really took the time to figure out what I wanted to do. I stumbled upon pastoral care and decided to go for that. I still work in a restaurant, behind the bar, making coffee and serving drinks.
Hobbies
In my spare time I like to play video games. I own a PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PS Vita, and with PlayStation Plus I got a whole bunch of games. With my studies I also look for religious, philosophical and ethical aspects in video games. From The Legend of Zelda to Fallout 3, games are loaded with those kind of elements.
I'm a big fan of comedians and comedy TV series. Parks and Recreation, Arrested Development, The IT Crowd, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Archer, the list goes on.
I've got eleven tattoos, mostly on my arms. Usually I let my beard grow, which is red, unlike the rest of hair.
My Wikipedia activities
I've been a Wikipedian since April 2006. I enjoy editing, it gives me peace of mind and I feel like I spend my sparetime wisely. The bulk of my edits concern video games. I consider myself to be something of a WikiGnome: I usually take out typoes typos, amazing POV, and correcting piped links.
I have great respect and admiration for all those volunteers, spending their time on topics they care about, just so this encyclopedia gets better everyday.
Contacting me
Since it's pretty rare, I go by my last name online (i.e. Wikipedia, PSN). Feel free to add or follow me! If you, the reader, would ever find yourself on my side of the world, please, drop me a line. It would be great to meet another Wikipedian.
