CURRENT MISSION

Try my luck.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going girl who loves to talk seriously about silly things and laugh at serious ones.
Was born on a tiny island lost in the St-Lawrence Gulf, in Quebec, called Magdalen Islands.
I left quite young and since then love the feeling of planes leaving the ground.
I'd like to live in an episod of Twin Peaks. But now I live in Vienna. It's weird and kitschy enough for the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

"Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative."
- Oscar Wilde

"Everything can be confused or forgotten except sexual intercourse with a one-armed man."
- Carlos Fuentes

"Seriously", I'm into the thoughts of philosophers such as Walter Benjamin, Nietzsche, Deleuze, Simone Weil and Catherine Malabou. I'm also more and more drawn to Buddhism and Zen.

More "seriously", I think that life is about playing. In every way possible.

Interests

Books and calligraphy. Noise and dancing. The sea. Rollercosters and ellipsis. Unheimlichkeit. The Desert. Yoga and meditation. Traveling (is it really necessary to mention?). Talking to strangers, listening to whatever stories strangers have to tell.
