Under the pressure of many of my fans (and by that I mean people I pay to like me), I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and start a... blog. There, I said it.
But before we start (I like the royal we, it makes me bloat with self-importance), I'd like to clear some things up.
- As a French person currently living in the US, I don't really know how to handle the language thing. Well, actually I do, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. While I was thinking about it earlier today instead of doing something productive like, say... work, I figured out that it would be better to write in English (this is where readers not paying attention spill their beverage on their laptop and curse me, "What, she was writing in English the whole time and she didn't even TELL me?!! I'm outta here."), since more people would understand. And I want plenty of people to understand, because more readers means more power, and that's the only thing I am pursuing here.
- Of course, this means that even if my mastering of the English language is close to perfection (that's why American people always ask me where I come from, because I speak English better than them! Or at least that's how I deal with the pain), I will probably make some mistakes. Grammar, spelling, tense, punctuation, you name it. Please be merciful. Or else.
- Speaking of punctuation, I don't know if you've already noticed, but I really really like brackets. Brackets were already my friends when I didn't even know you, so I'm not gonna let them down just because it bothers you. I'm sorry (I'm not, actually).
- Of course, I will also write in French. Why? First because I am French so it gives me the right to do so, and also because there are things I can only think about in French (no, not that thing). Anyway, I guess you won't mind not understanding my French jokes with French references that only French people can grasp. So, posts in English and French. Maybe I'll try to fit in some other cool languages I don't know, like Norwegian or Hindu, but don't get your hopes up.
Feel free to comment, in English or French or Spanish or Morse code. Tell me you love/despise/pity me.
That said, I hope you read and enjoy the production of my sickened mind. I will provide in-depth analysis of literary works and accurate commentary on the political actuality, and I will also dispense fashion advice. But mostly, I'm just writing here to bond with you guys! Hey, where are you going, don't leave!
