I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


I have found no definition yet! But I guess I'm a friendly person, spontaneous (some say unpredictable), curious and open-minded!
I hope this helps simplify the complexity of this other human being I am.. ;-D

"This girl is always thrilled to hear new music and to know deep people who possess the right amount of craziness to have fun and stay alive! Silence has a sound of its own so believe she always has a thought for her friends, even when she finds herself speechless..!"
(Twilight Zone Magazine)



My Interests

TRAVEL at any cost!!!The human mind and its intricacies,Painting when I find paint (or food) and inspiration, Reading, Having long talks about life, Studying what I deem interesting, singing, cooking experimental food, go out and party or stay in and party! I love dancing and listening to music, acting (on stage!), I dread routine but a little helps! As I recently resumed my studies, I'm currently studying English-speaking literature, civilization and linguistics, and passed my first year of Master. But what I'm really interested in, is YOU! (everyone loves to be told that!)

I'd like to meet:


Someone who wears the latest trend without paying attention!
A deep-fried whale. Why so? Because they can live up to 300 years and it is simply unfair!
If not, I would love to meet loving people who forget about judging others..!


I always thought that sense of humour was a sign of intelligence..! Check this out!

However, a bit of Malcom, Desperate Housewives, Le journal de la nuit, 'Le Groland', 'Les Guignols', 'Le Zapping', or 'Question pour un Champion'. 'Qui veut gagner des millions' quand les neurones sont en pause... Hercule Poirot,les Simpsons, American Daddy et les excellents South Park! Les programmes d'Arte restent tout de même les plus raffraichissants! BUT I listen to the radio!!!

Also diving into postmodern fiction with Kurt Vonnegut Jr, Nabokov and more!

Heroes:

People who manage to read all the books they wish to! Do they ever sleep? Those who accomplish their dreams, or at least clutch to them ;-) Anyone who works hard and fights for his beliefs. People who are TRUE!!! (It seems hard sometimes to realize what one really wants) People who speak out!
