About Me


Ok, this is the part I hate... Well, I'm a girl, to start with.
I'm deeply interested in:
all forms of creation and expression,
mechanisms which pull the strings of a human mind,
darkness,
touching the fire,
anything or anyone that can change or challenge my perception of something I thought I knew,
collecting a whole bunch of unnecessary and yet vital things,
being contradictory and pointing out contradictions in others,
mental disorders,
experiencing new things,
the fantasy & horror genres,
wearing silly t-shirts,
shining like thunder and crying like rain,
being surrounded by books,
drowning in music,
silence,
excess... and the sound this word makes...
I currently work in Paris as a freelance English to French translator.
By the way, I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 Cheers mate!

My Interests

Books, music, movies, Arts, 19th century, life, death... and make up!
Oh, and I confess a soft spot for nocturnal creatures with fangs and a lot of camp!

I'd like to meet:


Interesting people! Who wouldn't?
As I've seen that most of my favourite musicians/ writers/ photographers/ models are in the area, I might pop and say 'hello'...

Music:

Amongst others:
Tori Amos, Bikini Kill, David Bowie, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Depeche Mode, Serge Gainsbourg, PJ "50ft Queenie" Harvey, Juliette and The Licks, Led Zeppelin, The Pixies, Placebo, Iggy Pop (with or without the Stooges), Emilie Simon, The Who...
and so many more!

Movies:

Directors:
Nearly everything that came out the brains of Burton, Tarantino, Hitchcock, and Miyazaki...
Films:
John Huston's Casino Royale, Crimewave, F. F. Coppola's Dracula, Dr Strangelove, Elizabeth, Freaks, Gaslight, Gegen die Wand, Mulholland Drive, Ordinary Decent Criminal, The Piano, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Tommy, The Wall...
Making lists sucks...

Books:

Anthologies, Charles Baudelaire, Fabrice Colin, Roald Dahl, Neil Gaiman, Serge Gainsbourg, Théophile Gautier, Allen Ginsberg, Hermann Hesse, Tanith Lee, Sylvia Plath, E. A. Poe, "Big Will" Shakespeare, Léa Silhol, Paul Verlaine, Tennessee Williams, Gabrielle Wittkop... and children's books!
