Yeah, when I just sing as loud as I can, it doesn't matter how out of key I am. I'm such a Van Yell-Sing.

Get the Van Yell-Singmug. Someone who tries to be funny all the time. Also he'll try to fit in the group, wich he succeeds most of the time. A "Gijs van Iwaarden" is 9/10 times sarcastic, don't take him too serious. If you do, he will tell you otherwise.
Watch out if you see him outside in the dark though.

Get the coco van dijkmug. A syndrome characterized by driving a mini-van recklessly, stemming from--and to compensate for--the shame of driving a mini-van (a direct relationship exists between the degree of “family orientation” to which the mini-van was engineered and the recklessness of the driver, and the mini-van can therefore be used as an indicator of potential road-hazard). Symptoms may include, but are not limited to: veering dangerously across highways, lack of turn signal use, speed limit disobedience, “baby on board” emblems, children’s sports logos, general disregard of the safety, or opinions, of others, and an all-around douchey disposition.

Get the Eddie -van-failingmug. Ava van Dijk is a very pretty girl but she doesn't know it. She looks down on herself and tries to avoid her problems so that she doesn't need to face them. She tends to pretend to have a smile on when really she is sad. She loves helping others and gives them advice that she should probably take, but you know the saying. 'Easier said than done'. ;)
Ava loves animals and adores puppies. Ava also tends to have a crush on a new guy very often, but only because she doesn't know if they like her back and if she will be rejected.
If you were to ever date an Ava van Dijk try to make sure that you love her.
