About Me


I have three goals in life*:
1) to be in the audience of an infomercial for the "set it and forget it"
2) to look like a female american gladiator
3) to be the ultimate contestant on "the price is right".
*actually, these are not my goals at all, but a girl can dream.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
If I had it my way, everyone would walk around naked. People would be honest and comfortable around each other. There'd be a giant speaker in the sky playing whatever I listened to, so everyone could feel it. There would be no such words as "he" and "she" but nobody would walk around fumbling in confusion. There would be an infinite number of languages spoken, and everybody on the planet would understand all of them. Libraries would actually be quiet, people would clean up their messes, and everyone would have a newfound appreciation for the French. Laughter and tears would be acceptable at all times, and people would break into song at any given moment. Nobody would stare, because they'd realize that we're weird. We're all weird. It's all just a matter of perception.
et pour ceux qui ne comprennent que ceci:
il faudrait dire tout d'abord que je sois bizarre, étrange, curieuse, etc... mais qui c'est qui ne l'est pas? j'aime m'amuser toujours, soit avec des amis, soit avec des étrangers, soit toute seule. je préfère écouter, apprendre et comprendre avant de parler. je rigole souvent; je pleure parfois. quand il n'y a personne chez moi, je fais passer la musique très forte d'edith piaf, céline dion, jénifer, mylène farmer, et pas mal d'autres du registre moitié-amoureux, moitié-triste, et je chante. moi je trouve que la vie est pleine de mystère et de surprise qui nous attendent comme un chat noir attendant une souris sous la pleine lune, prêt à bondir à n'importe quel moment. si tout cela te dit, donne-moi un p'tit mot!
