Who am I?
Yes, who am I? Tough question indeed, will I ever have an answer to this one?
In the meantime, here is some information that will help you to know me a little bit better.
All about me, or almost...
Location : Villeurbanne, Rhône-Alpes, France, Western Europe, Planet Earth, Somewhere in the Universe
Age : 29 years old
Marital status : single
Height : 1m60 last time I checked
Eyes : 2, one on the left, one on the right (I know, I'm specially well made. Thanks to my parents)
Hair : black, red, blond, green, blue, none, it depends...
Questionnaires
Here's the summary of two questionnaires that are often sent by email. They'll let you discover me more precisely.
1. Given name : Fushichô
2. Date of Birth : Doesn' matter. I don't celebrate it anymore. I think it's stupid, because it forces people to buy presents, even though they may not be able to afford it, because I don't really need anything, and because I think it's absolutely narcissistic. celebrating your bday is like shouting to the world "Celebrate me!". And I don't see why I should celebrate being borne, I didn't ask anything. Especially considering the fucked up world we live in. Well, if human beings weren't destroying it, it would actually be great!
3. piercings : 10 so far, and some people hate me for that
4. Tattoos : 2, one of them from the wrist to the shoulder blade, and probably more to come. Tattoos are like piercings, once you start, it's hard to stop
5. Ever had a car accident ? not a car accident, but a motorbike accident
6. Ever had a fracture ? Yes, because of the aforementionned accident
7. Pepsi or Coke ? none, I boycott both! fruit juice or water
8. Beer or wine? both, but not in the same glass!
9. Favourite kind of music : punk, jazz, blues, ska, metal, independent, a part of the "new French scene"
10. most hated topic of conversation ? sports and cars. because I don't give a f***
11. Favourite fast food restaurant : Like Coke, I boycott. Mac Donald's hegemony detroys food specifities of each and every country it's implanted in, it formats taste, and not for the best, et reduces open-mindedness. You go in a foreign country, you don't make any effort to eat like everyone else, as long as there's a Mac Donalds, you're "saved". So, why bother going abroad in this case if you don't try to discover local specialities.
12. Which of you friends leave the furthest? Gwendal and Estelle, in Montreal, Canada. But that's just a coincidence, they don't even know each other
13. Special friends : Sushi, Titi & Pouillette.
14. Something you always have with you : my left leg. the right one too. As far as objects are concerned, i can leave them behind me pretty easily, according to the memories linked to them. I'm not really superstitious
15. What's on your wall ? The Australian flag and some posters
16. Favourite sports? I HATE sports ! too tiring to do, too boring to watch
17. Shy or extroverted ? i'd say shy, but it depends
18. Nickname : here's the list :, mahi-mahi, nouillette, ma nouille (ie my noodle), tit cook (ie little cook, a guy from cook islands, not a chef in a restaurant), brochette (ie kebab), le percé (the pierced one), goat master, and i'm sure i forgot some
Have you ever :
01. Paid your round in a bar ? of course i did! i also invited friends in a restaurant to celebrate a job (which i've been fired of, but that's not the point...).
02. Swum with dolphins in the ocean ? I didn't swim with them, but saw them 1m away in Monkey Mia (Western Australia)
03. Done bungee jumping ? once i thought about trying. then my fear of heights came back, along with my sanity, so i gave up the idea !
04. Stayed awake all night long just to see the sun rising? it wasn't the point, but I had some sleepless nights and noticed the sun was rising.
05. Seen an aurora borealis ? The day they organise this kind of stuff in a warm country, i'll give it a go
06. Climbed the stairs of the Statue of Liberty ? No, and it's not gonna happen soon. visiting the USA could be nice, because the landscapes seem amazing, but they should lock up half the Americans before i come. It's not that i don't like them, but, well, they voted for Bush twice. and i'm just talking about the son...
07. Grown and eaten your own veggies ? yes, when i was a child, i had my own little garden in my father's garden. but i gave up pretty quickly, it's not my thing to grow potatoes...
08. Touched an iceberg ? Only the one in my fridge. i really should defrost it some day...
09. Changed a baby's diapers ? More than once ! and the first time i changed my niece's diapers, she made this big, greeny, brownish liquid stuff that leaked up to her back, just for me... :/ She's nice, isn't she ?
10. Been drunk on champagne ? If I only had been drunk on champagne...
11. Been a part of a world record ? Like everybody else, i destroy the planet. But i try to be a very bad element in this record.
12. Run over an animal ? Unfortunately, yes. i couldn't avoid this lizard in Australia :'( Rest in peace, little green thing
13. Danced wildly, without worrying about being watched? No, never. I mean, not when i'm sober, at least :)
14. Faked an accent for a whole day ? does my French accent count when i speak English?
15. Danced with a stranger in a foreign country ? I was told that i did, but i don't rememeber. I told you i dance ONLY when i'm pissed !
16. Been whale watching ? Luckily, yes. I was back from Fremantle, WA. Suddenly, the boat stops : there were 3 whales. they swam around the boat for like 10 minutes, and at the end, they were swimming on their back and you could see there white belly. then they left us, in the sunset on the ocean... I was very lucky, because a few weeks after that, i went whale watching with friends, specially to see whales, but we never did, it was the end if the migration season !
17. Stolen a road sign? it's on my chimney.
18. Been on a long road trip ? Not in France, but in Oz. but in Australia, every road trip is a long one!
19. Spent an entire day in bed ? yeah, and it was really good :)
20. Done scuba diving ? Yes, in Moorea, french polynesia. That was terrific. it just fucked up my ears, that's all !
21. Attended a martial art class ? My father talked me into it. So i attended 2 class of judo and stopped; I HATE sports, remember ?
22. Organised a surprise party ? Yes, in 2006 for Sushi. My mother almost spilled the beans.
23. Made cookies with a mix already prepared bought in a supermarket ? Are you kidding me ? I like GOOD food, i'd never do such a crazy thing!!!
24. Followed your favourite band on tour ? I've been in 2 concerts of Counterfeit in a row. Out of the 4 they did since the beginning of 2007, it's pretty good !
25. Ridden a bike in a foreign country? Yes, on rottnest island, WA. And i had to wear a helmet, i hated that. But the upside of it is that my crest fitted exactly in the holes of the helmet :)
26. Touched a ray ? Yes, in Moorea. It feels so weird.
27. Had a snake as a pet ? I would have loved to. but they're better living in the wild than in a vivarium
28. Eaten Kangaroo? Yes, twice. I didn't want to (they're so cute), but my home stay family in Oz tricked me. So, after that, i tried it on purpose, to know what it tastes like. And it's ok :)
29. Eaten sushi ? you kidding, right? i love that!!!!!!!! Well, I used to, as now I'm a vegetarian. With David, we were famous in the japanese restaurant in the Old Shangai food court, in Perth ! The chef even hugged me when i told her that the day after i had to go back to france ! and sometimes she gave us free nori maki. I miss the Old Shangai...And remember my best friend's nickname is Sushi, so it's all because of her if i loved it :)
30. Held a snake ? Yes, 2 young boas.
31. Dyed your hair? no one will ever believe me if i answer no. so i'll be honest : YES, several times a year !
32. Shaved your head ? Yes. I even shaved my eyebrows, once, last year for a friends wedding. but i looked like i had cancer and it was terminal...
