About Me

What can I say about "me". She's an ok gal. Silly yet serious. Simple yet complicated. American yet French. Je grandis. Je construis ma vie. My laugh makes heads turn at the restaurant - especially here in France. I live in Nancy in Eastern France and in spite of what they say about this region, it's a very lovely place. This is the "Place Stanislas" registered on Unesco's World Heritage List.Myspace Layouts

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who make me laugh or who inspire others to do great things. Mary Lynn Rajskub, Sponge Bob (I know he's not technically a "person"), Marjane Satrapi, Guy Delisle - certainement un gars très chic, Paul Auster & Amy Tan Michel Gondry, again. I actually met him once flying to New York on September 11th 2004. Flight number 911 (this is no joke). He was standing in the line next to me and he looked really familiar. So we were both checking in at the same time and I finished before him and started to walk away. Then I stopped and said to myself that I had to say something otherwise I would regret it. I walked up to him and asked "Are you Michel Gondry?" and he said "Yes." And I said "Oh," not really knowing what to say and then "yeah, I saw your videos and the scenes with you and your mom." That's about the equivalent of "I carried a watermelon"!

I's retarded

Oh, I wish I could write a decent blog. You know your blog's no good when not a single person adds a comment. You know people have seen it, but they just pass on by. My blogs are like brain farts. ...

Oh your red scarf matches your eyes...

I got this great new moisturizing cream to help diminish any redness. It feels great on my face and neck but it made my red eyes even worse! What's up with that? False advertizing if you ask me. M...

How the hell do you post pictures in a blog? I'd really like to know.

I wanted to just post my question in the Subject but they said I had an "invalid body" so I added this, but that's not very nice is it? In fact, My Space says a lot of stuff that's rather uncouth if ...
