Your Notes
Edit your notesI am sucré-salé, geekish, and curious.
My Self-Summary
I'm a French eternal student. I was born in Paris and live here
too. Somebody told me that I pretty much defined myself through my
tastes, and that could be true.
So, my first and foremost hobby is gaming in general, and pen & paper role playing games in particular. I'm also open to many other kinds of games: video games, LARP, board games, war games... I think the main thing I avoid is gambling.
You think it couldn't go any geekier ? Wrong ! I've studied chemistry, and still love explaining sciences. And will probably make a job out of it someday.
I also need to stay in touch with the world, to follow the news and to be aware of stuff. That's one of the reasons why I've got a profile here: because people from all nationalities come here with backpacks full of stories.
Mais je sais parfaitement qu'il y a plus geek que moi : j'ai réussi à éviter les MMORPG (mais pas les MUDs), le cosplay (mais pas les jeux de rôle grandeur nature) et d'apprendre le Sindarin (mais j'écoute le Tolkien Ensemble). J'ai arrêté les jeux de cartes à collectionner et les jeux de figurines (en même temps, si je connaissais plus de joueurs...).
Surtout, je me suis fait au cours des années une vie sociale. Pas facile pour un ex-timide. Et okcupid, c'est une partie de cette vie sociale : j'adore rencontrer des gens d'un peu partout, ou simplement tchatter avec des gens qui vivent loin.

With all that, I used to be a bit shy. I mean, c'mon, you all know that books are more fun than people. But you can also look at it that way : people have stories to tell, people are stories themselves. People like you or me are bloody interesting.

Donc voilà : je suis un étudiant éternel. J'ai fait pas mal de
chimie, et je prépare actuellement le CAPES de physique-chimie. Je
suis plutôt geek, surtout pour les jeux de rôle, les vieux jeux
vidéo, la SF et le med-fan, les BD - surtout franco-belges - et les
petits bouts de connaissance inutile et intéressante.Mais je sais parfaitement qu'il y a plus geek que moi : j'ai réussi à éviter les MMORPG (mais pas les MUDs), le cosplay (mais pas les jeux de rôle grandeur nature) et d'apprendre le Sindarin (mais j'écoute le Tolkien Ensemble).

What I’m doing with my life
I'm a student, preparing the exam to become a physics/chemistry
high school teacher in France. I'm a gamer at heart, so I spend
quite some time playing video games, pen & paper
role
playing games,
surfing here on the Web or just reading sci-fi or med-fan. I'm curious, especially about
sciences. I'm becoming a skilled lurker on the English-language
Wikipedia, and
I'm getting better everyday at editing the francophone one.
I dream of travelling before petrol totally disappears from Earth, but there just are too many places to visit. But I'll do some hitchhiking when I have time. And I'll visit Spain then. Or Belgium. Like, soon. Later. I've got a profile to write first.

I’m really good at
I like to tell a story, and I can explain stuff rather well. That's
good news, because it's supposed to become my job. I really love to
explain sciences to people. I've heard many people telling me that
chemistry, physics and maths were something they'd never
understood. But I do believe that sciences are interesting and
should be seen as part of our culture, just like literature or
music.
Oh, and I also share most qualities that are common to all role players: quick counting, a sense of cartography, knowledge of the English language, basic history and geography, and most of all, an imagination strong enough to revive a faerie.
J'ai une imagination du tonnerre, typique d'un rôliste amateur de mondes qui n'existent pas. J'estime bien connaître les jeux en général, et les jeux de rôle en particulier ; mais comme les jeux de rôle ne sont pas vraiment des compétitions, c'est dur de prétendre qu'on y est bon.
J'aime raconter des histoires, et je suis aussi assez pédagogue, quand j'arrive à me maîtriser : des fois, j'aimerais dire tout ce que je sais dans le désordre. Mais mon imagination m'aide à trouver des exemples, et ma paresse ainsi que mon ouverture d'esprit m'aident à me mettre à la place de quelqu'un qui ne comprend rien à ce que je raconte. Attention, ça ne veut pas dire que je ne sais pas écouter !

The first things people usually notice about me
I'm afraid I'll sound arrogant if I answer "My eyes". I'm more
socially easygoing on the Internet than in real life, to be
honest.
My geeky T-shirts used to be very obvious, but I've grown milder now. Don't worry, I still have a few dragons hidden in my closet.

Mes yeux, peut-être. Et de temps en temps, mes t-shirts de geek.
J'ai aussi toujours quelque chose à lire à la main ou dans la
poche.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I love books, and
reading. But I don't read the "right" thing. I mostly read
magazines, and science-fiction or medieval
fantasy... If I need to pick only one author, I'll say
Fritz
Leiber or Terry Pratchett. Ouch, that's
two authors.
About the movies, well, I don't know. I like Tim Burton but I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of anything in particular, I think... Some movies have rocked my youth, such as the Robocop series, the Ghostbusters series, both of the first opus of Alien... I do like anime, but I'm not all that deep into them ; one of my favorite must be Grave of the Fireflies.
I used to steal music from people around me, but it's stabilizing. Now, I'm mostly into ska, punk, metal, and soundtracks.
If you need names, I'll quote Ska-P, Madness, Less than Jake, Reel Big Fish and Les Caméléons for the ska, the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, the Clash, the Exploited, Bad Religion, X-Ray Spex, the Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly and the Toy Dolls for the punk, the Who and the Pogues for rock, and System of a Down, Nightwish, Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil, Apocalyptica, Korpiklaani and Rammstein for metal.
I've got a sweet tooth that'd make a gummy bear jealous, so I always prefer desserts, or mixing sweet and salty tastes. I really don't like fish and seafood, though. I also don't drink alcohol.

The six things I could never do without
Well... writing material, some time for
myself, talking about sex as long as it isn't my sex, a
computer (at
least as an expansion of my brains and memory), a backpack bigger than my bedroom,
and books.
- Du temps pour moi-même
- Parler de sexe, mais pas du mien
- Un ordinateur, ne serait-ce que comme expansion de ma mémoire.
- Un sac à dos plus grand que mon lit
- De quoi lire.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
I love to think about role playing games and other worlds... But
usually, when I'm left to think on my own, I go to look for
something to read. Anything !
And then, there's always sex to think about. Our strongest erogen zone sits between our ears.

On a typical Friday night I am
Either spending the night on the computer, or spending it with my
friends. Yes, friends... You know, the ones with warm blood who
even speak!
Editors
Now in French
Je passe probablement la nuit sur l'ordinateur. Ou alors je relis
un scénario de jeu de rôle. Et bien sûr, j'adore sortir voir des
amis, aussi (Je vous jure ! Des vrais amis, au sang chaud, et qui
parlent pour de vrai !)
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I think I don't like animals a lot. Or at least I don't like living
with them. I suppose I prefer them running in the wilds in a
romantic picture than having an unequal relationship with humans,
being owned, tamed, and messed up with for our emotional needs. Or
maybe I've just had too many cats pee on my pants.
Now in French
J'ai l'impression de ne pas aimer les animaux tant que ça. Ou du
moins, je n'aime pas trop vivre avec. Je suppose que je préfère les
voir courir dans la nature dans un tableau romantique. C'est mieux
que de les voir avoir une relation déséquilibrée avec des humains,
se faire posséder, dresser, et emmerder pour nos besoins
émotionnels personnels. Mais peut-être que je râle juste parce que
trop de chats ont pissé sur mes futals. (j'ai vérifié, et non, on
ne dit pas "mes futaux")
You should message me if
You're looking for a penpal from far-away France, one who will
juggle words for you on MSN or amaze you with awfully bad jokes
through mail.
Or you're around Paris and think my axe murderer quotient is low enough for us to meet someday.
And if you don't fit any of these, blah, you should message me all the same. I didn't join Okcupid to sit alone in an ivory tower. Why are you still reading this when you could be messaging me instead?

Parler aux gens, c'est Bien. Je préfère qu'on m'envoie plus qu'un
"woo" ou qu'un simple "Bonjour", parce que, bon, c'est quand même
plus facile de trouver de quoi répondre à un message plus développé
que ça. Mais de toutes façons, je ne suis pas sur okcupid pour être
tout seul dans une tour d'ivoire, alors n'hésitez pas à m'écrire.
Maintenant.
