ABOUT ME

Ginger is not a color. It's a character:)

Nobody can trust it, but I'm shy. I exhibit my shyness by complete openess ;P

There is one rule my mother set that I'm constantly breaking: "don't speak to strangers". My mother calls me also "a gadabout", which is quite true. There is always something strange happening to me and as I am far from being down-to-earth, last time when I was cycling and thinking too intensely, I hit a beater. Nobody was suprised.
I rather cannot be calm, I always need some things to do and dreams to achieve. I'm this kind of person who needs a lot of incentives to survive, many books, songs, meetings, movies and coincidences to think about. But I also like meetings with friends, cooking together or playing boardgames. Ok, sometimes i keep calm ;P

CURRENT MISSION

Watch 52 films in the small cinemas in 2016 (57, done!)

Watch 52 films in the small cinemas in 2017 (34 have left...:)

PHILOSOPHY

Love as if nobody never hurt you, dance as if nobody could see you, live as if you didn't need money, be pleased as if it was a sky on the earth.

Always be kind for everyone is fighting a hard battle.

Life is hard, laugh harder! :)

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Interests

Cinema!
“Cinema is the ultimate pervert art. It doesn't give you what you desire - it tells you how to desire.” Slavoj Žižek

Parklife!
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge
There will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it (parklife)
Blur "Parklife"

Cycling!
You can't buy happiness but you can buy a bike and that's pretty close.

Reading!
Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book.
Author Unknown

Cooking!
Happiness is homemade.

Talking!
I'd rather not talk than have small talk.

Music!
I can't explain but I'll find a song that can.

Running. Walking. Purnonsens. Literature. Film and music festivals.
The nicest things are pretty small. Take me to the park and play frisbee with me!
I'm a tea lover. I never refuse to get a damn good cup of green tea :)

I want to learn spanish. I'm a super super super beginner so if you want to teach me a few words, be patient and try to do it ;)
