Hello everyone,
Haven't posted here in ages, but I still use my account to read what you write, fro time to time.
How are you doing?
If you want to read about me, I've got two blogs.
The first one is Not all who wander are aimless: wwww.stephdk.wordpress.com.
I know I've already posted this link and some of you know it.
I've also started a blog about writing, as I've been writing a lot lately: Writing is like throwing up ink on a piece of paper: www.inksoulandpaper.wordpress.com.
I'm note sure if I should start posting on here again. I kind of feel like it.
And... back to my boxes, I'm moving next week to a studio, which means a place all for myself! :D
Oh, and I miss Montreal terribly.
Cheers!

I've always been curious to know what happened to the two kids I baby-sitted when I arrived in Montreal..Well...One of them has the lead role in C'est pas moi, je le jure! I guess I'll have to go to the movies to find out! Funny!

A month, and I'll be gone. My life's a mess, but everything makes sense. *smile*

I want to travel everywhere. Can I be a professional traveller?

I'm doing a little experiment...

I think I'd better centralize everthing, so let's party some more on Wordpress!
Of course, I'll keep reading your blogs here. :)

| Faces |
[20 Mar 2008|10:15pm] |
Faces we see every day, faces we forget, faces we remember, faces we thought belonged to someone else, faces who don't fit with a personality.
Looking for people in the right place, looking for them in the wrong place.
Watching a face and thinking you know the person. Watching a face and being sure you never ever saw the person before.
Wanting a known face belonging to an unknown person. Wanting someone without knowing his face.
Looking someone in the eyes, but he's not looking at you.
Seing someone a million times and not knowing who it is.
Knowing who it is. All of a sudden, everything becomes clearer. He's been everywhere, when you saw him nowhere.
Wanting to forget someone, but it's not possible.
Wanting to remember everyone, but that's not quiet possible either.
Wanting to be forgotten. Wanting to be remembered. Wanting to be neither one nor the other.
Being someone everyone recognizes.
Being someone no one ever remembers.
Being someone no one ever remembers, but who remembers almost everyone.
Being someone everyone recognizes, but who forgets everyone.
Being someone who cares to remember, when others don't give a damn.
Being someone who seeks others who care, but doesn't find anyone.
Being sommeone who remembers but, really, would like to forget.

Two girls watching Sex and The City. One minute I'm embarassed to be a woman, the other I laugh out loud. Is it me or those four chicks have the maturity of a 15 year old teenage girl?
Females are complicated, they say.

Des fois, l'instabilité apporte la plus grande stabilité.
J'aurais aimé passer l'après-midi sur une Broadway, peut-être.
La musique n'est efficace qu'en mouvement.
Aujourd'hui, c'est un sourire qui m'a donné l'urgence de m'évader.
Enfin, c'est pas comme si j'étais vraiment dans ma réalité, de toutes manières.

Who wants to buy me a ticket to Germany so I can go to a Toten Hosen concert? :D

We all wish we could go back in time and thank people, because they really deserve it, but we didn't do it at the right time or the right way and then we think about it minutes, hours, days, even years later, but too late.
You may never read this, or never know it is for you, but thank you, because you:
- offered chocolate and comfort even though I was a complete stranger crying and embarassed in the train.
- took care of me in the plane, without knowing me, and invited me to your place to talk about tons of things. I wish we'd kept in touch. I sent you a letter, but you never answered.
- were really sweet, even though people warned me about you.
- could have stayed scary, but took extra time to reassure me.
- were brutally honest and protective, for no reason at all.
- said I was like a sister, even if we hadn't talked for years.
- still call me "petite soeur".
- staid.
- ... and many, many, many others. :D

| Advice needed... |
[05 Feb 2008|10:09pm] |
I'm not sure if I should move or not in July, and I have to give my answer by the end of the month.
Pros:
- Some things happened and I'm not feeling that safe in the neighborhood anymore.
- I hear my neighbors way too much. Not because they are very loud, but because the building is not isolated very well (and because I live in a semi-basement). When the guy talks, I hear what he says. You can imagine.
-I've lived in the area for almost 8 years and would like to change.
- I've been dreaming of living in the Mile End for the last 8 years.
Cons:
- My rent is cheap.
- My landlord is great.
- I do like the appartment, despite the noise and me not feeling 100% safe.
- I'm scared I won't find an affordable place. I'd also look for appartments on the Plateau, in Côte-des-Neiges, in Outremont (too expensive, but I can try) and, if I can't find anything, in the area I am now.
- Maybe I should wait to make a bit more money (aka finish my studies, in fall), because I'll probably end up in a smaller and more expensive place, which I don't really mind, but maybe I should wait notheless.
What do you think?
I'd appreciate feedback from those who have moved recently. Is it very hard to find a place in Montreal this year?
Thanks!

The weather today gives me the creeps.
The wind blowing through the window, the absence of normal light, the dangerous roads...I feel I'm in a different story, in a different time, or maybe even in a different dimension...

"La terre nous en apprend plus long sur nous que tous les livres. Parce qu'elle nous résiste. L'homme se découvre quand il se mesure avec l'obstacle. Mais, pour l'atteindre, il lui faut un outil. Il lui faut un rabot, ou une charrue. Le paysan, dans son labour, arrache peu à peu quelques secrets à la nature, et la vérité qu'il dégage est universelle. De même l'avion, l'outil des lignes aériennes, même l'homme à tous les vieux problèmes.
J'ai toujours, devant les yeux, l'image de ma première nuit de vol en Argentine, une nuit sombre ou scintillait seules, comme des étoiles, les rares lumières éparses dans la plaine.
Chacun signalait, dans cet océan de ténèbres, le miracle d'une conscience. Dans ce foyer, on lisait, on réfléchissait, on poursuivait des confidences. Dans cet autre, peut-être, on cherchait à sonder l'espace, on s'usait en calculs sur la nébuleuse d'Andromède. Là on s'aimait. De loin en loin luisaient ces feux dans la campagne qui réclamaient leur nourriture. Jusqu'aux plus discrets, celui du poète, de l'instituteur, du charpentier. Mais parmi ces étoiles vivantes, combien de fenêtre fermées, combien d'étoiles éteintes, combien d'hommes endormis...
Il faut bien tenter de se rejoindre. Il faut bien essayer de communiquer avec quelques-uns de ces feux qui brûlent de loin en loin dans la campagne."
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Terre des hommes
Et si, maintenant, les lumières étaient celles allumées par nos connections à Internet?

Do you think that living is all about getting to know yourself better as time goes by or do you think that you know who you are and what's important is to understand the world around you?
I thought the important thing was to understand the world. I am me, an "instrument" to get to learn as many things as possible (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) von_zombie, I have this urge to know EVERYTHING too!).
Now I know I neglected the "instrument". I didn't even notice obvious feelings because I had seen others react in a way, and seing I reacted differently, I thought I wasn't experiencing those feelings. I'm in my mid twenties and it's time for introspection.
But don't get me wrong. I'm happy things are the way they are. At least, I know how to listen to others and respect them. I'm not selfish and self absorbed. And if I'm not always tactful, I know what compassion is.

One of my friends showed me Google Reader, which allows me to subscribe to webpages and blogs and get the new updates on one page. Since then, I'm hooked. I think I might have found the solution to read the different newspapers online and be updated daily. :)

To move or not to move? That's the question...
Anyone moving out of a 3 or 2 and a half in the Mile End-Outremont- Côte des Neiges area in July?

During Christmas time in Europe, two totally different subjects kept appearing in the news. The first one, rather irrelevant in itself, was the relationship between the french president, Nicolas Sarkozy, and the singer and ex model Carla Bruni. The president did lose a bit of credibility according to the surveys, which is not surprising.
What's interesting is that it's the first time a french president's personal life becomes very public. Not that the journalists didn't know any private details about any of the previous presidents (just think about Mitterrand's illegitimate daughter), but it appears that they had different agreements with the press. Now it seems that France is discovering a whole new subject of gossips.
The second subject is far more serious and interesting: the attempts to free Ingrid Betancourt.
Here's the link to a Wikipedia page (not verified, but gives a rather good explanation):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingrid_Betancourt
(just replace the "en" by "fr" in the link to get the french page)
Her family and friends asked a proof that she was still alive. They did a video of her and she wrote a very mooving letter. I think that, whatever we think about her or the situation, we should all read it:
(in french): http://www.agirpouringrid.com/base/article.php3?id_article=405
(some parts of the letter, in english): http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKN0134603420071201?sp=true
