David just can't stay in the same place
for too long. He spent all of his childhood
(and even a little bit more) living in the same town, but he visited
numerous countries all over Europe with his parents. Then, we he was 18
and after graduating from high school, he left his hometown, just like
most kids, but since he
seems to be moving all the time. He is a true semi-nomad; having lived in two countries and
five cities in 10 years, and he's not ready to stop.
He recently moved back to France after
seven years spent in the US where he was a graduate student in
contemporary French literature and a French teacher. He currently tries to
settle in Paris for a few years and to plan his next move as he's pretty
much sure he won't stay in Paris too long. He enjoys reading, writing (he
dreams about becoming a very famous writer), designing websites (including
this one) and other various time wasting activities on the web. But he's
not a bookworm/geek/whatever. On par with these activities he also loves
being social and go to the movies, eat in good and cheap
restaurants,
go out clubbing, partying, etc. He likes a lot of things:
- Animals, every animals (but mostly the weird and/or dangerous ones).
Since he first arrived in Florida,
he became obsessed with alligators. Actually he wants one as a pet
(along with a wolf pack, a ferret, some turtles, some exotic fish and
a ant pile), unless he becomes an alligator wrestler someday.
- The wildest nature, but also giant cities.
- Girls (when he's single, he is uncontrollable).
- Indie Rock, Brit Pop and similar music.
- Culture and cultures
- French and Vietnamese cuisines.
- To live on the coast (thing he never really did actually (except on
vacation)).
- To travel... of course...
He doesn't like:
- Morons and idiots: highly subjective terms in which he
puts stupid people, racists, close minded people, intolerants, people
who are (too) religious, spoon-fed spoiled brats,
"princesses",
etc, etc.
- Most of American cuisine (but he recognizes that
there are some really good meals, they're just really hard to find).
- Shitty music: i.e. commercial music with no artistic
dimension. All the Britneys and Celine Dions are on the frontline with
most R&B and a big chunk of nowadays Hip-Hop.
- And a bunch of other things, but not that many
actually.
