Bio: I'm French and I like to write. I'm opinionated, a real bookworm, obsessed with words, interested in Fashion & Style. I don't follow the crowd and I'm drawn towards *unique* people who have things to say. Intelligence is sexy and brains really do it for me. I'm also a qualified journalist, in possession of the NCTJ diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists in the UK.
Thank you for following my blog. Your name caught my attention right away…Do you read Anais Nin?

You have a very cool blog…. I don’t speak a word of French, though I did try to learn it in college. Years later, I learned Chinese, which I find much simpler than French!

Thank you, French is indeed a hard language to master if it’s not your native tongue…although I wouldn’t have thought that Chinese was easier!

Well… In college I took French for the wrong reason. There was a girl I liked so….
But, I could never get my head around the pronunciation.
I find Chinese easier to pronounce than, for instance, South Indian languages

Hey Nathalie, I tried replying back to you but it didn’t let me. I visited the page from yesterday and it ask me to put my password. I did it and it didn’t work. Is everything okay?
This is what I was trying to reply back to you.

Yes, so i seems! However, they play once or twice a week. They will be playing tonight,
I can hardly wait!
There was a different band a week ago. I thought I would lose my mind. All I could hear was an overly mixed bass guitar, no drums, no lead guitar and and a banshee screeching out vocals.
I lodged a complaint with the music supervisor. He was shocked. He said he thought the vocalist was great, and that the drummer was amazing.
I told him I never wanted to hear that again…. OR!

You should make that shrine a reality. Reserve a small table in your room for various toys and memorabilia related to the Lord of the Rings: some Nazgul figurines, a toy dragon, a plastic sword, a cheap ring from a cereal box, and maybe a few mushrooms. Oh, and you must find a way to fit something volcano-related on the table as well!

Hello,
I see that you enjoy it when people on twitter call James O’Brien a cunt.
So if a random/anonymous bloke in England/America/Russia calls James O’Brien a fucking cunt you’d get in there giving him the thumbs up even if the bloke you’re giving the thumbs up to actually is a cunt and not actually presenting a coherent argument or making the case?
I’m not convinced the mostly anonymous blokes on twitter calling James a cunt are actually the fine intellectuals and decent human beings they insist they are.
Can you list the names of 10 highly respected journalists who have gone on twitter to call James a cunt – rather than 10 anonymous blokes with strange twitter bios? Just 10 will do.
The idea that James is a cunt deserves to be explored further if we are going to adopt it as an established fact and use it as an argument against him. Yes?
As an example, if James writes another book, you and the rest of us might like to get on social media and declare the book must be boycotted as it was written by ‘that fucking vile cunt who…”. After we have made the case, not before.
If we can prove James is one of the vilest men in England – a fucking disgusting cunt worthy of our disdain and contempt – we can all start calling him a fucking cunt and a piece of shit and put an end to his career.
If we can’t prove he’s a fucking cunt then maybe we shouldn’t be giving the thumbs up to idiots on twitter who insist he is. That would be fair, I think. Cunts don’t do fairness, in my experience – cunts gonna cunt.
Let us prove James is one of the vilest men ever to have lived in Great Britain – and then we can declare him a cunt and a much bigger cunt than, say, anyone who has ever worked in media or politics over the past 30 years.
We must first make the case, then we can pass judgement. Once we go down the route of declaring various authors to be cunts on twitter, we must back up our arguments, I think.
As a further example of this: a 17 year old woman in Scotland might declare “That Stephen Fry is a cunt and a traitor” on twitter – at which point we need to establish if this 17 year old is a reliable source we should recommend to others, or just an idiot. We can not declare Stephen Fry is a traitor and a cunt just because a 17 year old in Scotland has told us this.
We can not put Stephen Fry in prison for treachery without first establishing wether the 17 year old calling him a traitor has evidence to back up her claim.
Put it this way: if a random bloke in my local pub declares you to be a cunt, after I read him one of your poems, it doesn’t make it so and I must take take his condemnation of you with a pinch of salt rather than accepting it as gospel – maybe this bloke simply hates female poets and writers, for example, following his own failed marriage to an author. Maybe he’s an ignorant cunt whose musings are mostly ignored by his family and friends? Maybe he’s just in a bad mood? Whatever – we must first establish the reliability of our source before adopting his position that you’re a fucking cunt and spreading this “fact” to other people in an attempt to ruin your career.
