About Me

I feel like a child in an adult's body, not childish, just scared and fascinated at the same time.
I've been around... I am back in Mtl for good after being sort of "stuck" between Montréal and SF for about 2 years.
Besides Montréal and San Francisco, I have lived in Texas, New York, Israel, France.
As for music, I guess I like punk, rockabilly, old country, rock, ska, rap and other music, some pop, ladies with interesting voices... (I like Wanda Jackson; she is amazing. So is Big Mama Thornton).
I like fun people, good people, all kinds of people. I am fascinated by modern Japanese culture and want to go to Japan in the near future. I like tattoos. OK.
"This isn't the first time I've asked for money or love" PJ Harvey
"I'd just like to say I'm sailing with the Rock and I'll be back like Independence Day with Jesus, June 6, like the movie, big mothership and all. I'll be back." Last words of Aileen Wuournos
There you go.

My Interests

tattoos, music, Enemyster, writing, reading, sleeping, loving, liking, watching, screaming, thinking, plotting, scheming, all sorts of ing's, being queer (as often and as well as possible), fucking the pain away, ass piracy, Scum Bag Fag Mag, parentheses, and so forth

I'd like to meet:

you?
des francophones, rockers, tattoo artists, artists, writers, romancers, friends, San Franciscans, New Yorkers, des Montréalais, des Parisiens, n'importe qui...

I would like to watch you sleeping, which may not happen. I would like to watch you, sleeping. I would like to sleep with you, to enter your sleep as its smooth dark wave slides over my headand walk with you through that lucent wavering forest of bluegreen leaves with its watery sun & three moons towards the cave where you must descend, towards your worst fearI would like to give you the silver branch, the small white flower, the one word that will protect you from the grief at the center of your dream, from the grief at the center. I would like to follow you up the long stairway again & become the boat that would row you back carefully, a flame in two cupped hands to where your body lies beside me, and you enter it as easily as breathing inI would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed & that necessary.-- Margaret Atwood
