About Me

My key is communication.
Sometimes I think I'm an alien (should be interesting meeting an alien, ah?) ^^
I like all about arts. I'm very curious, I like learning new things especially about music culture, philosophy, cinema and history! I'm a young redhead always looking for something special....

PHILOSOPHY

I am a dreamer. This can be negative and positive at the same time...
Being a dreamer is a philosophy, as you live your life always taking risks, because you believe that these dreams can become reality. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but I'd say that trying's always worth it.

This is one of my favourite poem by Charles Baudelaire:

L'Idéal

Ce ne seront jamais ces beautés de vignettes,
Produits avariés, nés d'un siècle vaurien,
Ces pieds à brodequins, ces doigts à castagnettes,
Qui sauront satisfaire un coeur comme le mien.
Je laisse à Gavarni, poète des chloroses,
Son troupeau gazouillant de beautés d'hôpital,
Car je ne puis trouver parmi ces pâles roses
Une fleur qui ressemble à mon rouge idéal.
Ce qu'il faut à ce coeur profond comme un abîme,
C'est vous, Lady Macbeth, âme puissante au crime,
Rêve d'Eschyle éclos au climat des autans;
Ou bien toi, grande Nuit, fille de Michel-Ange,
Qui tors paisiblement dans une pose étrange
Tes appas façonnés aux bouches des Titans!
