Confessions 1 − 8 April, 2008
What enthrances you at the moment ?
My cat, cooking, the gym, my health
What is the aspect of your work that interest you the least ?
Having not much to do and a colleague that gets frustrated easily (he bangs drawers).
What essential quality do you want to find in your friends ?
The ability to listen and not judge or try to fix things. Honesty.
Who are you closest to in your family?
My little sister, I think she's wonderful and funny.
What motivates you in your life ?
Feeling good about myself and in my body, that when I wake up it is a new morning, learning new things.
What do you remember about your first love ?
His moustache that he didn't want to shave because he looked too much like his sister. Hours spent kissing.
What were the most memorable events of your childhood ?
My best friend moving. My parents separating. Being bullied. Eating ice cream drumsticks on a bench outisde the depanneur. Reading on the lawn in the sun. Going to the library every day in summer. Coming home to find my mom had put new wallpaper in my room. My mom beating me for having said a bad word.
What makes you laugh ?
Weird and morbid humor. Stargate. My little sister. My mom.
The best advice you have received ?
Parler au Je (talking using "I" not "You").
Where have you been the most happy ?
This weekend, sitting by the river, listening to ducks, birds and my friend. And following my routine at home and going to the gym.
What really frightens you ?
People
Your cult movie ?
Legally Blonde, Miss Congeniality, Anne of Green Gables, Stargate...Movies with Meg Ryan, Reese Whitterspoon...
Do you have regrets ?
Yes but I can't change what happened so I try not thinking about it. No use crying over spilt milk.
What impresses you ?
Knowledge
Do you think about death ?
Every day. I am not afraid of it although I have been afraid of dying before. I just...think about it. What does it feel like, what happens next, when I'm old and alone will I be waiting for it, will there be anyone to go to my funeral, what the body goes through after death, what I want for my funeral...
What bores you immensely ?
Stupidity, men who try too hard, bad jokes, people who are negative and want to be the centre of attention, family gatherings, shopping, doing my taxes (that's why I pay someone else to do them).
What makes you mad ?
That noone saw how much I was suffering. When my friends don't listen to what I have to say, preferring to say I'm negative when all I want is to talk. I don't even talk about my stuff a lot, I just have to get it out there before I become completely insane.
