10 Random facts about me
Hey, @missy , @rambo , @lyxzen it's been a while since I wanted to write this blog. I love to read the "10 random facts about me" blogs because it's a simple and funny way to discover people, and I really like it. I must admit that since I'm reading a bunch of pages on the Internet I enjoy concision !
1 - I have a supplementary phalanx mark on my two little fingers ! My sister and my mother have almost the same but it's really pronounced on me. I love to show it because ppl find it strange and I love unique marks on bodies. Scars, asymetry, weird bones, stains... I'm fascinated, I like this kind of feature a billion times more than a smooth skin.
2 - Idk why I count ppl's fingers in my head since years and years. But I don't do this often right now. I think it's related to the 1st random fact because I always wanted to see a hand or feet with an anormal number of fingers and that's why I automatically count ; I don't want to miss such a thing haha. It happened only once. A kid at the school where I teach Art has two inches. It's sad because he has so much health problems and the other children are bad with him because of it while he's adorable... I defend him a lot.
3 - I'm playing music since my 7 yo.
I began with the piano, when I was a teenager I began to play bass (SO ORIGINAL, I know!) and I played guitar a little, I took singing lessons for one year, I made all of this in a band with friends in my last highschool years. Then I realised that being a part of a band isn't that easy. Then I realised that I can do anything I want with electronic music. So I was alone with my computer and my synthe during about three years until I met Jeanne, my mate in our band Giallarhorn. We wrote shot produced and mounted alone our last videoclip (the video above), we should make another one in animation with a professional this summer, it'll be in 3D and 2D I can't wait to work on it.
4 - I am vegan since last year. I was a veggie during one and a half year before and I began my vegan way of life with my bf (who was omni before!) We cook a lot together as you can see. We eat A LOT and like it so much. We chose to live like this for many reasons; for the environment first of all, by empathy for animals (I can't even watch a video about animal abuse without feeling a knot in my throat or tears in my eyes, I'm over-empathic also with human being but I really don't understand how is it possible to stay so indifferent about it) it's more healthy, and often less expansive.
5 - I cut and dye my hair myself since I'm 14. I was fed up that haidresser never wanted to offer me my dream hairstyle when I showed them images of my fav anime character lol. Seriously, I was always disappointed and it's really expansive. Also classic haidresser often refuse to cut a woman's hair very short ot to turn dark hair to white... I don't understand this dictatorial thing ! So I began to vut and dye my friends too and recently I decided to do it more seriously as a mini free-lance job. I did Skydot's hair last saturday. She allowed me to do whatever I wanted and it was such a pleasure to be free with it !
6 - My IQ is 112. (The average is about 100) It's funny why I know that because I would never have wanted to pass the test but when I was 13 my Maths teachers asked my parents to let me pass it because she didn't understood why I was so bad in her class. The test revealed that I'm very much more able to handle the words and understand them. I am an intuitive and literary, but completely illogical person. Furhermore it revealed that I was very early in nursery school, but as people always rejected me because I was a weirdo (I began to talk at the age of 5, I cut my hair in class, I put myself in the corner alone..) I unconsciously fell at the level of my companions to be better accepted. When I heard that I was really sad (My bf tells me that I'm probably happier as I am than being a genius and a sociopath !)
7 - I have discalculia. This disorder is badly known and i discovered by myself why I am so useless with logic but good to write etc. I made serious researches after my IQ test and it appeared that I have every single symptom of discalculia since my childhood ! I wish someone would have noticed it at this time. Maybe that my life as pupil would have been softer
8 - In the Spanish part of my family, a person by generation has some kind of a gift. (My grandma heals fast sunstrokes with water and prayer, same for my uncle but with burns..) and I am the last one. I can feel what people are feeling, I can read in them. I'm so empathic that I can tell to someone if a part of his body hurts, and I couldn't go out in Paris after the recent attacks. People where so tired and tense.. I also have presentiments on events. I only know if it's bad or good and who does it concern. I also feel presences but it's always a mystery to me even if I think it's kind of ghosts. Unfortunately I didn't tried to developp those gifts when I was a teenager so all of it is less powerful now. I guess I'm a failed witch (when I asked to Reverso the perfect formula to say it, it said "una bruja fallada" while the trad was settled to translate from French to English... T_T)
9 – I’m a socially awkward person. I use and abuse of irony while being cynical so I’m not alwaus understood in my jokes.. Also people think I’m angry when I’m not, maybe because i’m a hot-head. I’m smiling and laughing all the time when I feel comfortable, but if you fuck with me I’ll be mercyless. And to finish, I’m affectionate and I like when we meet up with my buddies but I’m anxious and irritable with the foreigners sometimes, when I’m sad actually and I need solitude and space rather often. If I feel quite bad I would like stay alone, except for my lover or very close friends. It happened recently, there was a party a my bf’s place and I stood alone in his bedroom playing Life is Strange hahaha. In reality it happened more than once after my old cat’s death.
10 - I'm really engaged in different causes like feminism, ecology, human being rights and animal rights. I've been through difficult moments about it as a woman, with a different look, who is vegan and artist. This choice of life can be very hard to assume. Some years ago, as the right of abortion was questioned in Spain it moved the French Catholics and they wanted to do the same... So I edited a postcard with a friend. It's written "Happy Abortion", you can see that the bunch is made with needles... It worked well, we spread this image through museums, concerts, street protests... (Sorry for the shitty stamp I can't find the original picture right now) And i'm often creating images with hairy women or things like this. But I'd really like to do more about all of this, I'm reflecting about joining associations.
That's all, you know me better now I guess. Hope I'm not that awkward haha. But even if I am, that's my way and it'll always be.
Thanks for reading guys, love
xoxo
