I will look out for you if you will look out for me

About Me

Just got one thing to say: YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy, he deserved it more than anyone else in a very long time. He's one of my very favorite directors.
My name is Garance, i'm 19 and i live in "the most beautiful city in the world": Paris. My biggest hobby is CINEMA , and i'm dreaming of becoming a movie director. Since it's a very hard dream to achieve, i'll (hopefully) study for a few years in the United States in a few months. I also love reading, shopping, travelling, dancing, clubbing, swimming, acting, listening to music.
My favorite song in the whole world is "Can't take my eyes off you" , the versions by Boys Town Gang, Muse, and Diana Ross&The Supremes, even the Frankie Valli version eventually grew on me (the version that plays in the "Deer Hunter"! couldn't believe it!)... I think the whole song defines me, in some way, i couldn't really explain why.
I also love travelling, and one of the best cities i've ever been to is San Francisco, it's really a magic city. New York (I'm dreaming to go back there!), Rome and London are my second favorites. I wouldn't mention Paris, because i live there and i couldn't be objective, but i guess it would be my 5th favorite or so...
I REALLY hate when people take me for granted. I just start to despise them if they do.

I love honesty, kindness and a good sense of humor. I love talking about cinema for hours and hours. I am definitly not a morning person...I am not very patient, people can easily get on my nerves and i can be very grumpy. I love taking trains, especially when seated next to the window and watching the landscape while listening to pretty songs... Do not talk to me when I'm listening to music. I love being wild but i choose when. When i do, you never know what happens next ! I have a problem with growing up, especially handling adult stuff. My humor can be witty or immature, it really depends on the person i'm with.
Some people say i'm quite a mystery. I don't know what they're talking about.

"I took a speed reading course and read 'War and Peace' in twenty minutes. It involves Russia. "
"If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever."
