CURRENT MISSION

Have a sunny life

ABOUT ME

I'm 31 but I'm not sure I've totally grown up yet. I like puppets, soft toys, or imagine that a Gremlin is hiding behind the chair of a person I don't like. I sometimes love to create or imagine new worlds, both magic and stupid. Even though, the world, the real one, is still surprising me by its treasures.
At the same time, I sometimes have perceptions, values and behaviours that make me feel I'm a senile-bitter-bitchy-100 years old woman.
I'm interested in a lot of things (too many?), I'm very curious, that's the reason I don't really understand the fanatic behaviour, staying focused on one thing. That's why, though, I'm not an expert at anything. I wish I had 10 lives to do everything that I want to do and visit all the places I want to visit.
I had the chance to be able to leave France for one and a half year. It was a fantastic experience.

I like:
- City lines (like wires, and cranes, and antennae, and scaffolders)
- Storms
- WWE
- Scrap yards
- Sunsets

I don't like:
- pepper
- climbing stairs (even though I have a few love stories with staircases)
- snakes
- stones in my shoes
- long toenails

PHILOSOPHY

That is not really a philosophy, but I wanted to share a quotation from Michel Audiard: "Heureux les fous. Parce qu'ils sont feles, ils laissent passer la lumiere". That could be translated more or less by: "Happy the insane, the light is shining through their cracked head"
