My year in review

Check… April 1st

Job: still same + still interviews. I also work at the shop lately. And I see how much more confident I am. Even my boss of the time looked stunned. Very GOOD. I don’t intend to go back.

Writing: (sighs) I still haven’t finished typing, and maybe writing book 1. But it comes close. I’m on book 3 a lot, and other stuff. I have found two different publishing I could work with. For now.

Personal: I’m still an introvert. that won’t change. Still, I’m more me, alone and independant, especially emotionally independant. No worry, people still find me rude. I believe I poke the right point on my father’s search. Not sure which. When you want something you do it, you don’t talk.

Others: After 7 months of conscious left-handedness, changes are awsome. After one year, I’ll probably write the same. Well different in graphism, but the same in skill.
I watch HOUSE a lot.

Why I want to meet Christopher (Chris) C Carter

He’s been a model, for my work, which is writing, but also in terms of philosophy, to remain open, and it, sort of, injected me some lead in my bird brain, but without quit daydreaming and give up on my dreams. Be more myself. Less what the others would like me to be. To grow up, in a way. And big-heart guy. Kaboom :) <3

Why I want to meet Ty Pennington

Definitely inspiring, good-hearted, and a little deliciously crazy :) He’s got a very positive energy, he gives me hope on life each time I see him.

My year in review

Tuesday, December 4. Checkpoints.

Job : it’s really better. I don’t think I kept a PAID job for so long before. I’m still looking for a second job, though, to fill in the schedule. Still leads, still searching, still receiving calls too. I feel more confident, it’s all going in the good way. I still think about doing my first-aid stuff. And maybe to be officially an educator. I think I could be both an educator and writer, it’s not incompatible, and work with children, and in helping others, it keeps me down-on-earth, and close to what’s important to me, live in reality and not in a microcosm, and keep turned to the future, in spite of the past. And believe in the future, I don’t think I’d work with children if I didn’t believe a light green future possible. It’s true that when I write a lot, I can appear a little disconnected to others. Fox is used to it, but I realize that with “normal” lol people.

Writing : I have a strange relationship with writing since three years (when I started to wonder about my father?). Anyways, writing and me are still friends, but grow-ups it seems, and we need some freedom. I have no doubt it’s what I’m made for. Maybe I lack also energy. Writing ask more energy that people seem to think. So it’s more by periods of time. There’re are full weeks I won’t write, and then within a week I’ll make 50,000 words, not always something I’ll re-write. That’s true I always feel like that when I start a new stuff. I need to think it, to write with my hand(s), possess it, and then allow myself to be possessed by it. So i’m not too worried because I feel it coming.

Love/friendship : well, since I work, I feel better at home. I’m less rigid, especially with my partner, and more confident on my positions, and what i’m willing to take, and not to take. Friendship, I’ve got a good relationship with Coco, although we can’t see, we phone very often, hours in a week. I talk to Flo sometimes. Finally it’s about the friends I’ve had for more than 20 years. There’s Frohike, but he’s SO introverted, it’s difficult to have even a MSN talk with him. He’s worse than me when I was down down down, nearly monosyllabic. The rest are more “buddies”.

The search for my father : which isn’t really a search anymore. I wrote a letter to that guy. I haven’t sent it. Actually it’s more about that. I want to TALK to him in flesh, or have him hold this letter, and no one else. I will go on “harrass” the townhall until they crack and accept to see me or to send me through a lead. I wouldn’t even ask an address. Only to know he’s got something around, and I’d find him. Then if I were him, I’d rent in a hotel. I’m still not sure if it’s the father or the son who’s my father. but the music changed, i’m pretty sure it’s not the holy spirit. I don’t intend to give up. So you heard me.

Others : what has been bothering me for a while now, my left-handedness. or more my unnatural right-handedness. Still difficult to write. I guess I can’t write like with my right hand after more than 20 years doing so. I think it must need around a year to see the progress. I certainly need to be patient. If I know I can do it, I don’t care the efforts, it’s just that I want to know if I really can do that. Apparently yes, I can write back left-handed again. Anyway, I asked to people who know about it. I’m waiting for anwsers. One thing. I’ve had backaches since long years. Since I started changing wrist for my watch. i’m often sitting at my PC, and I have terrible backaches, it becomes unbearable sometimes, to block my black. I noticed that when I’m on the couch and strech my legs on the table, it’s my left leg that’s up. At my PC, it’s the right. That’s true it was made, the desk is home made, by Fox, and so it’s easier to cross right leg up, and I must have done it so because of that. So today I changed, put my left leg up. And it’s crazy, within a minute, the lower part of back stopped hurting, and even my left shoulder that hurts a lot usually seems to be softer. I’m sitting my back more straight, naturally, and not vaulted. It’s crazy. Maybe it was the cause and it’ll disappear now. That would be GREAT.
I take material about switched left-handedness, and it helps me progress. What I can say is it’s really undurrated the impact on your health, social life, to switch hand.

I’m looking forward to seeing X-Files 2! I can’t wait to hear about the start of the filming.

Difficult, but in progress. A bit nervous for the Winter holidays and celebration this year. But maybe on the contrary it’ll be better than anything before. I’ll keep that on mind. I have a crazy idea, for my father, a left-handed idea, the saying would say lol I don’t know for now it’s only an idea. I’ve got to decide quick, though. I’m afraid to screw all this way too, I think that’s what guard me from doing it.

Why I want to meet Fox Mulder

I would like to meet the soul and spirit of Fox Mulder, a guy with an ideal and who fights to achieve it. And find such a partner to run all over the world. He would not have to look like him. Just the soul.

My year in review

Checkpoint : August, 13th – 2.05 am
I know it’s not two months I posted. Who cares.
G has opened a path to me. When I say it so, I meam it. It opened my mind to things I didn’t think could be true, and so helped me to remember. Yet, I think it’s my nature, and due to what I had to live, that I do more things my way; and I’m not able to really trust anyone. The wounds have been deep and violent. Maybe I still need more time to recover.
I progressed quite well recently though. I have a job. I keep in contact with a good and long time friend of mine. I have Scully, my new kitty home, and she’s more lovely than impossible. She’s funny, and even Fox who told me “it’s YOUR cat” plays with her, cuddles her, and talks to her lol He’s all fond of her, and I often have two kids messing around in the living-room. I also came to get back to my former strenght, although I still need lots of sleep. Yet my strenght is more to be independant and well, alone, somehow. Also I remembered all about my false right-handedness, and I can now heal from this too, slowly. I’m not ashamed to be left-handed, nor proud. This is just a part of my identity. Just like a name, a birthdate… I hope people could understand that.
As for my truth to seek, well, it’s difficult. I’m digging it and found troubling things. I have been hoping. To see my father at my door for my birthday. For a while. Fox asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and it’s true that I have what I need, a roof, what to eat, what to write, now a job, I’m free to take my legs and go out for a walk. A partner. I don’t need really much. So I said half-joke, half-serious “my father”, and so he said “Ohhh, don’t you rather fancy a tv?” At least that made me smile. I don’t know why I feel things are different now. I can sense something coming, yet I don’t know what exactly. It’s just a strong feeling. I’ve had stuff precised recently, and I’m gonna get more contacts. These could come not only to testimonies, but actual evidence. Anyways, it’s not something I’ll reveal, it’s only for me I’m doing this. So far. That “so far” doesn’t mean I’ll reveal it after, only that maybe I’m not the only one who wants to hear things, don’t know words.
Nonetheless, what I feel is parallel to these contacts. Not coming from my efforts.
Nothing else new.

A story about Dad

Lots of things remain unknown about Dad.

I don’t know if he knew my mother was pregnant. When he knew about me. How he learnt so, or who told him. If he’s only curious, or if he really wants to know me. I’m not even sure which man it is, only I know his last name, based on what my mother told me when I was 10.

It’s a puzzle that still needs to be filled in. I progress slowly in my investigations, with whiles when time disappears and nothing happens. I don’t disappear in these whiles. It sure would be easier to know which one is Dad. Besides that I have met obstacles, people who lied, people who said nothing at all. You, maybe, somewhere.

I was told he’s (was) blonde with blue eyes. Some words that escaped one day of July on a late morning. He must have met my mother in 1979, possibly November. Her name was Jocelyne, it’s her on the picture above.

I don’t want to meet him for his money, I don’t want his name (well, it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that’s it’s not necessary), don’t ask to be recognized. I only want to be sure which man is Dad. And if he agrees, to know him. I don’t expect a hero, nor a wall that never breaks, not a master or a slave, only that man whose face will be Dad.

Edited December, 20, 2007

I know his name and firstname. His firstname is William or Christopher.

Thanks for having played with me for all these years.
Thanks for having considered that I was alike the rest of my “family”.
Thanks for having broken my heart regularly.

Now merry Christmas to you.

A story about Nicolas Hulot

If you want to see Nicolas on field in ‘Ushuaïa Nature’, a link to his expeditions. You can choose the expedition you want in the scroll stuff. Some videos. In French, but for those who don’t speak the language, you can still watch, and see what he does, and he makes us travel to places amazingly beautiful, people, animals, cultures that we sometimes don’t even guess about.
