I am quiet, sweet, and French.
My Self-Summary
I like white lilies. Bring me lots of it. I like maple syrup too.
And watermelon. I lived in the UK and the US for a little while.
I'd like to go back. I like international people. I like to travel.
I like writing letters. I like reading books. I'd like to write
one. I like watching stupid American TV shows. Don't try to stop
me. I like Paris. I hate Paris. I hate guys who take themselves
seriously. Honestly, it's not sexy at all.
What I’m doing with my life
Looking for a job. Yeah, like soooo many others. Can't even seem to
find something basic. Although I didn't try McDonald's yet... that
would be hitting rock bottom though.
I’m really good at
Humming songs that get stuck in my head; crying while watching
stupid movies / series; being a girl (painting my nails, buying
handbags, that kind of stuff)
The first things people usually notice about me
No idea. You should let me know.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Aaaah, the usual question. Well, as I make my way through life, it
changes, because people change, you see. Meaning, this is hard to
say, but I'll try.
My favorite book used to be Dune by Frank Herbert, but that was
ages ago. Since then, I loved Zadie Smith's On Beauty,
Shakespeare's plays, and lately books by Fred Vargas.
Movies
David Cronenberg (especially the early weird flesh-obssessed
movies), Wes Anderson, Tim Burton, Michel Gondry, Woody Allen...
and stupid American romantic comedies (despite the fact that I'm
almost always disappointed by the ending, I keep watching
them)
Music
used to be mostly rock/indie, like Radiohead, Kings of Leon, Camera
Obscura, Blur, Belle & Sebastian, Dandy Warhols, the Shins,
Death Cab, The Strokes (this is completely random). Still is, but
other genres grew on me. For example, I went to the States and
discovered that not all of hip hop and r'n'b is crap. I also
discovered Orishas, that I listen to a lot. Then I traveled to
Turkey and got into Balkan music: Balkan Beat Box, Shantel, Miss
Platnum... I also listen to what you might call very girly music
like Coldplay, John Mayer, Emiliana Torrini, Keren Ann. I also love
oldies like Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, CCR, Woodstock
and all that... the Vietnam war soundtrack, if you like. And the
Beatles obviously, the Kinks, the Who, the glorious days of
Swinging London. And soul music, Candi Staton, Al Green, Ann
Pebbles, Otis Redding. And Césaria Evora. And Pink Martini. And
also some electro, like Miss Kittin, Fujiya & Miyagi, Junior
Boys, I am Jen, Psapp, Roÿksopp, Sascha Funke, Goose... I could go
on and on.
Food
All except Lebanese, for some reason. Not that I hate it, but I
find there's too much oil and chickpeas.
Was that too long?
