hi.

my name comes from an inside happening at my old secondary school so pay it no mind.

I'm a college attendee, currently majoring in computer science and minoring in french literature. weird combo, I know, but my talents are as great as they are numerous.

(a lot of) random infos about myself. use in a conversation at your risks and perils :

-I'm 18.

-I live in canada. I am an acadian. guess my province for brownie points.

-I speak french and english fluently, and german and mandarin chinese not fluently. the only reason I learned chinese was to hit on the chinese girls (slick, hehe), but as I am much too shy for that, it only serves as general knowledge.

-as a follow-up to the second statement : I suffer from yellow fever. this is strange since I'm definitively not an otaku. to each his own, I s'pose.

-I'm a laid-back kind of guy, but I'm also definitively not very social but I try my best.

-my favourite painting is a friedrich. incidentally, this one :
4815162342.canalblog.com/images/Wanderer_above_the_Sea_of_Fog_HSE.jpg

I have a reproduction of it on my bedroom wall. it is very soothing and I can actually emotionally relate to the wanderer, myself wandering alone through life, completely free from any bind and vertically displaced from the world. whenever I get programmer's block I look at it and it fixes everything.

-my favourite artistic period is the romantic period. type "baudelaire" and watch as I won't shut up.

-I listen to mostly anything, from power metal to jrock (as a testament to my wide tastes : ayumi hamasaki - alterna). Two things I can't stomach : rap and bubblegum pop. even country is fair game, and I do love opera.

-I am currently single and not actively looking for a relationship. I'm too busy admiring the sea of fog to come back down. if a relationship comes by, fine. if it doesn't, fine. I've been unhappy actively looking for one and I learned my lesson.

-I am a part of the rare atheist right movement. that is, I'm a republican that doesn't believe in god. it's like having your pants stuck on a barbed fence. neither side (rep or demo) wants you, but you're stuck there and both sides like to throw you stones.

-I am prone to excessive self-esteem boosts and equally excessive losses of self-esteem, making me look arrogant or apathetic depending on the time of the day.

-I have numerous interests. I amateurly study linguistics, sociology, psychology and law, in addition to my major and my minor. one could say that my dream job would be simply being a scholar.

there you go. that should be enough to know me in a nutshell. I don't bite most of the time so feel free to socialise with me.

sadly. :<

my grandparents are from new brunswick. I, along with my mom, however, am québécois.

one of my plans after university is to move to yukon, or nwt, or maybe nunavut. cold rocks, quebec doesn't.
