CURRENT MISSION

Embrace my inner freak!

PHILOSOPHY

Sunshine is happiness converted into rays. Enjoy.

Things don't have to be pricey to be great.

Don't make life more complicated than it is (I have trouble applying this one I must admit :P)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed two nights in Dublin three years ago, had a great experience and can't wait to have someone over!

Interests

I love arts, any kind. I ain't too good at them though (too much coordination and patience involved for me ;))
Painting and dancing amaze me, I love to go to plays (I did a lot of acting before), to the cinema. I don't go to concerts but I listen to a lot of music.

I, to my great shame, watch Canal Vie (a cheesy channel) and HGTV to get decorating and design ideas...and I don't own a house!

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS
The Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde (yep, with 2 'f's!) this author makes me laugh every time, his books are silly but intelligent...

L'arrache-coeur from Boris Vian (I used to hate this author--too absurd-- but this book is unusual and very poetic)

A few others: Jacques le fataliste from Diderot, Cyrano de Bergerac from Rostand, tons, tons! I can't tell them all

Authors: Raymond Queneau, Milan Kundera, Poe, Andrei Makine, Ionesco...

Poets: Aragon, Apollinaire, Jacques Prévert...

MUSIC
I have very eclectic music tastes, I have alternative, rock, folk, punk, country, pop and many more genres in my playlist. I usually can't stand electro and hip hop though.
Some groups I like: Marvelous 3, Charles Aznavour, Blue October, Amylie, Amy Macdonald

MOVIES
Again very eclectic
-Romantic comedies when I want to relax
-Dramas (last good one I saw: The edge of heaven)
-Animated movies: loved Shrek and Nemo, Bolt was nice
the kid in me isn't dead it would seem
-Thrillers and actions movies that actually have a story behind them, not just people shooting each other
last good one seen: Body of lies
