Écrivain?
A snippet of a chapter to a book I never got round to writing… As I peer outside again, from such great and wonderful heights, I solemnly stare at the varied groups of people running about in search of shelter.

Sonnerie.
I think my sisters ringtone just freaked the life out of me.
Sudden, loud, and a weird array of vibrations.
It’s 11.36pm.

Aujourd'hui.
Never thought I’d fall for the whole Tumblr scene, but it seems quite interesting (and easy to use) so woah-and-behold here I am.
I love languages. One of my many aims is to become a fluent multilingual speaker. This aim is a work in progress. French, spanish and arabic are my fortes. Well, I believe so anyway…
