About Me


Hi everybody, my name is Steph and my nickname is Sam. I live in France.I'm training to become an English teacher and at the same time I'm training to become a stewardess on airplanes.Those 2 jobs seem fundamentally different but,u know, it's become so hard to earn ur bread here that it's better to have more than one string to one's bow!Anyway,basically, what I really like to do is writing and I wish one day I will have the opportunity to have one of my pieces of writing published. I have already written short stories, songs (in French),and once I even wrote a novel I was never able to finish. My friends read it and apparently enjoyed it. It was about a female teenager called "Shana" who lived in a hippy community in the south of France during the 70s, and discovered love and sex there in a very strange way...To sum up, it was half historical, half erotic...That's me! I love mixing paradoxical things. I'm myself a very paradoxical woman, I suppose...That particularity has certainly contributed to make me very open-minded, so don't hesitate to leave me a message if u like my page, I'm always happy to meet new people!

My Interests

Writing (short stories, songs, whatever goes through my little head...), cooking (I enjoy preparing exotic dishes, I like eating but I'm lucky to stay thin),talking about sex, travelling,having a little nap, meeting new people and painting...

I'd like to meet:

Martin Scorsese, Sean Penn, Robert De Niro,Pam Grier, Sharon Stone, Jamie Foxx, Asia Argento,The Dalaï Lama, Mandela, Madonna, Clint Eastwood,Scarlett Johannson, Mickael Jackson (he's become lunatic but he remains one of the best artists of all the times!),Alain Chabat,Mathilde Seigner, Richard Berry, Beatrice Dalle...

Music:

Oh,I couldn't live without!I really enjoy the old "Motown" sound of the 70s, that's for me the best music: Quincy Jones, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Isaac Hayes,Ray Charles, Curtis Mayfield,The Jackson 5, Mickael Jackson alone, Barry White, Billy Paul,Randy Crawford among others. I also love reggae very much: Bob Marley and Peter Tosh are still bosses! Of course, I also like what comes from all this, the new "Rnb" and rap: The Destiny's Child, Whitney Houston,Keith Sweat, Joe, Babyface, Snoop + Dr Dre, 50 cents (their beats are ****ing good even if they are mysogynist!),Joss Stone, Usher, Alycia Keys, etc...I also like listening to old standards such as Franck Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, Marylin Monroe, Billie Holliday, Miles Davis...As far as French music is concerned, I'm a big fan of Charles Aznavour, Yves Montand, Gainsbourg (a French genius!). I like Madonna as well: for the diversity of her music and for what she represents: she still looks fab and subversive at 48! When I need to relax and fed up with the bad weather,nothing's better 4 me than listenning to Cesaria Evora or Sade in a warm bath ;)...For the rock attitute, I would advocate a mythical band like The Doors or someone like Lenny Kravitz. For the rock French touch: Noir Désir of course!!

Movies:

"Ray",Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" & "Marie-Antoinette","The Clockwork Orange", "Casino", "Mystic River",Tarantino's "Jackie Brown", Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby", Hitchcock's "Marnie", "The Birds" and "Psycho", "The Godfather", "The Exorcist", "The Fly", "Edward Scissorshands", "The Rocky Horror Picture Show",Almodovar's "Volver", Ferreri's "La Grande Bouffe" (poetic though gore...), Jean-Jacques Annaud's "L'Amant", Chatillez's "La Vie est un long fleuve tranquile", "Gazon Maudit", "L'Equipier"...

Television:

"Sex & the city","Desperate Housewives" & all that kinda series; all the TV programs about cooking & gastronomy, and also about travelling.

Books:

Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter" is the masterpiece of American literature in my opinion! Marguerite Duras and Boris Vian are probably my favorite writers. I also like Dickens for his vivid descriptions of 19th century London (a city that I definitely love!). I also really appreciated De Quincey's "Confessions of an opium-eater", it's dark but so subtle!A few other writers I like: Nabokov,Herman Hesse,Maryse Condé,

Heroes:

My grandmother "Betty", Martin Luther King, Mary Wollstonecraft (the mother of feminism!),Nelson Mandela, the female Mexican painter Frida Kahlo,Sartre and De Beauvoir
