Hi everyone,
I don't have a lot of viewer so please, pass this message to your viewers in dA, for all Earth lovers.

This Friday June 5th is the International Day of Environment. For this even, there's been a movie that has been made, that will be free for viewing on the web, on TV, and will be on sale on a lower price in DVD, etc. It's goal is not profit, but to spread the message about the deteriorating health of our home and beloved planet Earth. The title is "Home".

Here's a preview: [link]
You can find the official website here: [link]

I think we need to bound ourselves together to help. If we, regular people, can't help those on the other side of the planet, I think that every single one of us can help were they are, by little daily actions like saving energy, use buses and subway instead of cars, by not using pesticide on their grass, by cleaning the car way with a broom instead of water, by recycling, by reusing objects instead of buying new all the time and throwing at the garbage the next day, by spreading the word, by boycotting industries that cares more about self-profits than life and the damages they cause today and for the generation to comes. We can start by getting informed and knowing what's going on

For all of us who are not blind to pollution and cares about their homeland, please spread the word!!

"Today" a year ago, I was finding out I was pregnant, and spent last St-Valentine evening at the clinic to get an "official confirmation". Today-Today, my daughter is 4 months old, recently discovered that she has feet and toes and tries to taste everything she get a grip at

While I try to teach her how to "walk on her belly", I'm almost done learning about healing herbs and how to transform them into natural homy products as salves, therapeutic oil, concentrated liquid, cream, soap, etc. (though the whole formation I'm in is not yet near completed...) and I try to get back on track with the Chinese Traditional Medicine that I'd had to put aside while I was pregnant.

I wish I would have more time for creating, but hey! I'm way too hungry of projects! Projects are for me like a buffet: all seams fun and tasty, so I fill my plate with more that I can eat!! :/ Breastfeeding a fast growing child is demanding a lot of energy, more that when I was pregnant!! but it's such an unexplainable joy that I don't wish to rush toward the day it's going to be over But still, I try to stay active enough... it's just that the choice between the activities can sometimes be hard. :/ Which one I pick and which one I have to put aside or refuse to do by lack of time and/or energy?

Anyway, the center of all this remains my daughter She is just a sweet kid, smiling almost all the time like a sunshine! I guess every parent say the same, but you know...

Hey guys,
I know everybody says that a baby change your life ; "of course it does!" I thought, but I guess I never thought that having a baby would change my life that much.

Since I'm 14, I knew that having a family was one of my main goals, but I was so scared at the same time! I was afraid of who I was, what I could do wrong, I was torn inside with pain and sorrow (I guess it's easy to get that just by looking at my "fine art" folio, with the drawings/paintings I was doing back in college!)

So I thought to myself, back when I was 14, that I would do all in my power, to change myself, cut the chains of the past, find my own happiness, a spread it around me, like a treasure so great that you can't keep it all for yourself.

The path to happiness can be hard. But most importantly, I've discovered in my quest, that happiness is not something you look for outside ; it's not about having a good job, lots of money, lots of friends, vacations on the beach and such. I realized that happiness is something you can only find inside yourself, like a fragile flower piecing the snow. You have to take care of it, keep it warm, nourish, watered, lighted, and than it will grow and spread out contagiously.

On the way, I have purified my life, keeping "quality friends" instead of "quantity of friends", I have search for a job I could enjoy, instead of one that would make me rich, and I also discovered that without health, not much is possible. By watching my mother die of breast cancer, by seeing how the medicine around me is about money, lobby and pride, instead of being about life, I've reached a new step. That is when I've decided to study in alternative health care, traditionnal eastern medicine, herbalism and nutrition, to work in prevention rather than suffering. I felt so released when the Grandmaster Nam Anh, my teacher in Eastern Traditional Medicine was saying "In your world, medicine is a profession. Where I come from, it's a devotion" ; I felt released because that's what I thought it should be and by the time I met the Grandmaster, I was starting to believe I was an utopist!

More I walk in life path, more I discover how to feel better about myself and share to anyone who cares, more I change for the best! When some of my old friends from back to kitten garden are saying: "Remember (..) back then, life was good, easy..." but I never totally agree. Yes, I have good memories, but ever single step I took in life, I felt like "I never felt that good before", and it keeps building up like that. Last year, I've crossed 30 years old and for many, "we start to get old". I'm sorry, I don't feel old! In fact, I feel younger! I feel light! Life is good!

And then, I felt like I was ready to reach my goal of having a family. I was with the same man for 8 years, stable relation, a man I thought was a good mate for me, and could be also a good father. So there it is, I gave birth 3½ months ago. I've discovered unconditional love! I am so in love, it's now hard to imagine how it could be when we'll have other children. Never before I could imagine that a love that strong was possible! And I look at all what fills my closet, and I feel like, for the third time, all those closes are not mine anymore, like if I died and was reborn again for the third time. The time where I was torn and unhappy was already gone away, like if it was the bad memory of a past nightmare or a past life, when I made peace with my dying mother. But now, it happens again! All that black and that blue still in my closet, really, it's not me anymore! I feel almost dusty and black clouded to wear those color!

Anyway, all this little story to say: "Don't be afraid of the change". Like a Chinese proverb says: "All changes, except the change" (humm... this feels like a bad translation). To sit down, seek inside what feels wrong, admit it, try to understand how to undo it, go over it, change, and fills that empty spot with something that feels right, is not easy steps. I came to understand in my path that not everybody is willing to do those changes ; I was surprise to see that many stay there saying "I'm not like that", instead of finding a solution and apply it. Please, do it. Have courage, trust life. What saved me, back when I was 14 years old and willing to die, was "If perfection does not exist, it's opposite can't either! So if I feel like I'm in the bottom of imperfection that life can get, then my life can only balance itself by getting better", and I hold myself to that thought so hard and I did anything to make it happen, to get this idea to come true. And... ]]> *DemieLune http://DemieLune.deviantart.com/journal/15145904/ http://DemieLune.deviantart.com/journal/15145904/ Thu, 04 Dec 2008 13:11:08 PST

(Updated, December 4th 2008)
Hehe, I have to catch up time!

My baby girl is born :dancing: , 3 days before her due date, meaning October 13th; she's 7 weeks and a half now. She is born into water (my little mermaid ) after 2½ hours of labor and was very strong & healthy. She was 49 cm long and weighted 4,5 kg (she's now 6 kg and very tall for her age, like her mom) and has black hair and dark chocolate brown eyes, like her mom too .

She is an easy child, joyful, sleeping 4 hours in a row at night right when she got home, 8 hours in a row at night after 3 weeks (when she started to smile). She's not (yet) interested with toys, but very curious, specially with colors, people or what mom & dad are doing. She is watching, always watching; many professional working every day with babies are amazed how much she's "all there" and curious.

I'm not sure yet if I'll put some pictures on the web. Though she's the most beautiful thing on Earth to my eyes, I never been comfortable to put some friends and family or personal picture on the web, so I don't know yet if I'll change that or not...


(Updated, September 29th 2008)
About 2 weeks and 1/2 before I give birth, though at this time, it can happen any time!!

(Updated, August 26th 2008)
Hi guys,
I should have updated this journal a while ago, but it seems too many things happens to me at the same time!!

You see, I'm giving birth in about 6 weeks from now to my first baby while I'm trying to finish some "summer homeworks", prepare to leave work (training someone to replace me) and prepare for back to school (more by correspondence for some time, but IF POSSIBLE, try not to get "too late" on my studies planing).

I'll stop working September 12th and I'm due for October 16th; waiting for a girl. All is going well. Though it's my first pregnancy and can't compare, it feel rather easy for me, no problems, slight discomforts like a bit of tiredness, mostly at the end of the day, but I'm practically more energic than some non-pregnant girls at work!! Baby moves a lot, energic too, but no kicking, she pushes though and can be very strong at it!!

So maybe a new type of picture coming up!!

To keep going with the news, on my herbal medicine classes, where I was planing for opening a private consultation office, my artistic paws have found appealing toward the fabrication of natural body products (such as soap (bar & liquid), body cream, salves, etc.) with medicinal herbs, so I might get out of there with 2 diplomas instead!! Also, about 30% of the treatment of pathologies class is about nutrition. I like it so much, I might (after finishing those 2 programs) go for a full nutritionist diploma afterward!!

Anyway, many good things at the horizon!
For now, I can't wait to stop working, rest more and finishing the preparation for the coming of my angle



(Oct 20, 2007)
Hey guys,

Just a brief message to talk about the fact I'm presently "back to school"...

I'm learning the "herbal medecine" and though it's a traditional medicine, this class adapts it to today's lifestyle, meaning good knowledge of anatomy, botanic and interaction with pharmaceutic drugs.

Combine with working in the same time, obviously, I have little time for myself, so I'm sorry if I'm not as present as I used to ; I lurk once in a while to watch new stuff and and if I can, to answer back a couple of comments... I really appreciate your support guys on my old stuff *DemieLune http://DemieLune.deviantart.com/journal/13644695/ http://DemieLune.deviantart.com/journal/13644695/ Sat, 07 Jul 2007 09:34:31 PDT

The first photography I've upload here, were from film, that I had to scan, modify, blablabla... For many (obvious) reasons, I wanted to buy myself a digital camera... which I've been able to do last summer.

I'm pretty glad of it, but one other thing happened too : I've noticed that, on other monitor, my pictures were... not as beautiful than the way I see them on my screen... My monitor is a bit old, but was top quality. With time, I first notice it was way darker than others (you can see that my oldest pictures are ok, and then, they are too blasted...) and lately, I've noticed that on other screens, they are way too "noisy". I don't see that noise on my monitor...

So, there's something about handling my new camera, versus what I see on my computer before the upload... but I do see that there's something wrong, and I'm working hard to correct this issue. I've tested the "RAW" option, but ended up with more problem (I've noticed I'm not the only one with those problems) anyway...

It's a bit frustrating, when you're sure to have a good quality picture, upload it in the folio, and turns out to be not as good as you thought... But I know there's not perfect, so I'm still searching it fix this (maybe having a new (good) screen will help, but it's really not a good time now... and since I'm picky and I'm a photoshop-with-tablet maniac, and only wish for a wacom cintiq [link] ...and counting the fact I'm going back to study... it's not tomorrow the day...)

We did have some warm time this spring... then it started the snow again... all the snow we didn't have for Chrismas... Until wednesday, I had to clean off my car from heavy snow, while I was under very cold rain and stong wind...

Then it stop raining/snowing... and since yesturday (thusday), it goes up to +20°C under the sun. This is the period where we can have a fresh 0°C morning, and very warm afternoon... a period where we never know how to dress to go outside, since the weather can change of 15-20°C in less than 6 hours.

It only started to get green outside... Buds are still very small. Spring is late, but it's coming

There's love in the air, for my widow father is about to remaried. I told him that if I do find a proper dress for the occasion, it will (unfortunatly) probably be black (unfitting for wedding) but I have wear black for most of half of my life now; I guess he's used to it now ...The fashion is very ugly this year (I already dislike fashion to begin with...), so I had to go in a very special place, where I never thought I would buy something... but since nothing else was fitting, I gave myself that pleasure, for that special occasion. I also sew a part of my outfit at the moment.

I'll show you picture when all will be finished

Hey, hey !
I just noticed that I've been here for 2 years now !
Wow, time does fly.

For a couple of years, things were going very slowly, softly... All was stable (and I needed that). When I decided to signed up here (thing that I should have done earlier, but I guess I wasn't ready...), it was the end of a part of my life, the begining of a new phase of changes. And it doesn't stop changing ! Sometimes, I wonder if I can keep up, but then, I remember the bored period, and I follow the changes.

Hopefuly, I'll go on with better projects, and more stuff to share with you guys

Making boxes, painting on the new appartement, work... I start being rather tired. Things do advence, but there's much to do still

I can't wait till all is finished ! But since it's been a long time we didn't move, we decided to change a bit of the decoration, colors. The bedroom will change completly.

It's all positive change, but it makes me feel a bit uneasy anyway, since there's so much to do, but it's all excitting in the same time All the ideas that comes in my mind...

And then, I have some illustrations to finish, and a short text for the writting workshop coming fast, and get prepared for a evening class that I'm planing to take (the reason why I move)

In all this, I'll be disconnected from the web this friday (feb.23) and I'm not all sure when I'll be reconnected but it shouldn't take to long

Edit
I should be back online between monday or tuesday evening (Montréal time), so it's cool ; nobody will see the difference !

I'm about to move. I live in the south shore of Montréal ; I'll go on the north shore... very close to Montréal island itself actully.

The only point I have to do is, find someone to take my appartment here, before I move, for the 1st of March. For the rest, I have the appartment on the otherside ; there's only the paint I have to check (everything has to be painted).

For my job, I'll be transfered from here to the store on the north shore ; everything is set there too, so it's cool.

I have lived here, in this appartment, for 7 years ; I'm not the moving type... I don't like to be searching for appartments or jobs... so since the two of them are found, its cooling me down, but I have the feeling of having so much things to do for a month !! Things that I wish I could start now, but I have to wait, others that I wish I hadn't to do, but must be done now....

Anyway, it's stressing, but it's exciting anyway !

Who's like me ?

I get the feeling that I don't like Chrismas at all. In the same way, all the month of december.

It's a christian event, and I respect that... But what did the capitalist world had done to it ?? Why oh why did CocaCola needed, in the 50's a mascott for that period, transforming this holy day into something totally different, with a fat hairy old man dressed in CocaCola colors, with all this silly story I never been able to believe (giving gift to all "good" children across the world, in ONE NIGHT !? ... And why did my friend, who was among the best, always had less than the others then !??)

Look around you ! Parents are getting crazy ! They overload their credit card, so they don't look "mean". It's like post-apocalytic for a month (without the flames, of course), but what I mean is, everybody acts in panic, nobody knows out to drive anymore, everyone is more important, cuz their in a rush, everyone is suddently very impatient and rude.

I'm a cashier, in a computer store. They job is ok, since it's temporary... but I just hate it so much, when we get to december ! My god ! Stop it ! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A HOLY DAY, why is everybody becomes so insane !?!

What a surprise !
I just came here like I do when I have a chance (and when I don't have to much connexion problem ) and I had a message from saying that my deviation : "Le Fruit Mystifié", has been chosen as a feature of the week on that gallery, to represent the word "Yellow"

Le Fruit Mystifié :


Now that I think about it, it's true that it is indeed rare to see some work with a lot of yellow color. When it's a monochrom, many color will be picked before yellow... Strange. I does open my mind to new ideas.

Thanks and cheers

In this [link] you'll have all the details of an event that took place couples of kilometers from where I live.

Montréal is a metropole on an island, on the St-Laurence river. It's the biggest in Québec province, with about 20% of the population living on the island or on the north or south shores, and it's probably one of the biggest through Canada, with Toronto and Vancouver. But Montréal is known through the world to be the "safest and cleanest metropole in the world". Low crime, low violence, low polution (compared to the others).

When there's an act of violence, it's usually with a knife ; people survive this kind of attack, but loose their wallet instead... so to speak...

But what happend today, a young man (at least one ; in some version, they were up to three or four) when down inside of a Collage (Lycée degre in France) and start shooting with a machine gun in the cafeteria, and then at the crowd in a public park right beside. We don't know yet what happend exactly, nor "why" it happend. But that kind of violence is not, really not, commun for Montréal. Guns are restrected, there's (expensive) licence to get, usually good for only a year with the hunting licence (and they are all limited), and you can't purchase it easly either. To have a gun, you have to be a policemen, a soldier or a "sportive hunter" ; ok, it doesn't change that it's probably an "illegal weapon"... but it's just to remind you : this is NOT the U.S.A. It really not frequent inhere, to hear about a gunshot !

It's the second time it happens in Montréal. The last time, it was in a University. Here's the story [link]

This time, it sounds a lot more "random attack" than the last, but still... I mean, at the college, you're between 17 and 24 years old (for the oldest, but generally, you're out of there at 20-21). My god ! What kind of hate or despair can bring a man to open fire willinly over a crowd ? It's all young live that have been touch... not counting all the young witnesses who has to get back there for school !

Hey everyone

My name is on some extra's list in agency ; last month, I have been called, for 4 days, which were from the 1st to 4th of august. I have known that the movie was "I'm not there" ( [link] ) and that I was sheduled for 2 differents scenes, in 2 different time ; one in 1913 and the other in 1957.

Since it was sorta long way for me (who lives on the south shore of Montréal) it was already planned that I would stay at my cousin's place, on the north shore of Montréal, for thoses days that I would have to travel there. (Saved me half time the travel, but not half distence)

So I went as soon as I was ready and went to sleep as soon as I could...

August 1st
I was very nevous and excited. I got there with the sunrise in a light fog. The extras were meeting and filling some paper in an old water mill, then get the costumes in a white and blue tent, and finally see the haidresser and the make-up in two different caravan

Mini-van were taking us from the water mill to the cinema set (not very far from there). There was a big camera on a huge lift, getting high above us, we could see all the old houses, the horses, the cart full of ancient furniture, all those extras dress like people in 1900, the kids trying not to play too much around all those adults working...

The first scene we shooted was a street shoot, with kids all around. It it halloween, and they are in festival costume ; some poor, some better. Richard Gere [link] was there playing Billy the Kid later in his life.

My lady's boot were very tight. Soon enough, my feet did hurt a lot. When lunch time came, extras had to walk down to the water mill. The corset wasn't helping at all... (difficult to breath).

Anyway, when I got to the water mill, a lady working for the extra's staff told me I could go up the the costume tent and get my own shoes. So I went, got my shoes. The tent was transformed into a cafeteria. I was so hurt, the only thing I was thinking was "...a chair! ...I need a chair to get these off!!"

I sat on the first free chair and start to lace down. Someone said something... something like : "Having a bad time with your boots?". I turnd... It was Richard Gere! I just sat right beside him and didn't realized at all! ...So I blank. The only thing I found to say was... "uh... yeah..." So he went on, talking about mould skin ; I didn't want it was. He explaind it's a soft rubber. He told that his boots were ajusted to him, but they put mould skin "where it hurts". I thought "those boots are sooooo tight, I don't know if putting anything more inside would help!"

Lunch time, hard to eat like I would (cuz of the corset). The day was hot, I was wearing so many layers of heavy coton and wool... With the whole thing, I start feeling dizzy Back from lunch, go on for the rest of the day, til 20h (8pm). Every time I had the chance, I was sitting to ease my feet, but then, my corset was way to tight and felt dizzy again.

We go interrupted by a storm, heavy rain and heavy wind. After removing all the costume and everything, I was ready to take the road around 20h30 / 21h (8:30 / 9pm). Loud tonder. Raining like if someone was throwing buckets of water over and over again. My car was sliding. Lighning right in front of my -- I was getting blind for a second each time. And with the other cars coming my way, I could barely see the lines of the road...

Before I get to the highway, I turnd away. I decided to turn back. In the village, I made a call to my boyfriend who wanted me to call him that evening and I asked him to call my cousin, to tell him I wouldn't sleep at his place.

Then I came back to the parking ; a long dirt (mud) path. I went far enough so the light of the base camp wouldn't bother me, and far enough so I could feel a bit intimity to sleep in my car. For some feeling I had that morning, I had my bag with food, clean close and underwears, and everything clean myself.

But hey, it has to start by a random watch, so cheer

Edited May 31th 2006 :
Here, I think that's everything. All had been reuploaded in a better/larger version, with the "right" color and brightness, I hope.

Edit May 26th, 2006 :
I did a quick move of my old web-folio to here, but obviously, the pictures were small and... uh, well, I have a screen that it waaaaaay too dark, so all my images were waaaaaaaaay too light when I was watching them on any other computer...

So, I needed to re-upload better version of this "old traditional art stuff". Now that the problem with my screen is fixed, the color should be alright
I'm not finished yet, to upload all, (only did 3 in fact ; lack of time. You can tell which one from the different framing ) so sorry for my friend who'll keep receiving (probably) on their DAWatch those same pictures...



Hi everyone,
I've decided to make a major move of my art gallery here. So here is a bunch of old stuff, mostly school project when I was in Fine Arts studies. Most of these were made in a pretty dark part of my life, and I guess that it's evident

This is the image that was already ready, but as soon as I have a bit of time, I'll probably upload larger versions

After a journal "Ma muse" [link] I have officially started back to paint, with a new project. And since I wish to decorate my appartment with painting and never liked to purchase some "since I can do it myself", I hope it will go on !

Abstraction & Surreal

"Nymphe" Project

I have been tagged by



6 weird habits/things about yourself


Rules : The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6(or as many as you know xD ) people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours...

Ok... hum...

1- I love animals as much as people, any animal, to a point that I can't say which one I prefer, and I feel guilty to eat meat (I'm almost vegetarien because of that).
2- I don't drink caffee, but a enjoy anything else with a flavor of caffee (cakes, ice cream... )
3- I never drink alcohol, never did. Never been drunk. It's a choice of life and I'm proud of it. And I have no shame to "purposfully forget" where I put the glass of alcohol or beer that people buy for me, thinking that "I never had a chance to try". I just hate the thing...
4- I think that wall and furniture are moving around me... and they purposfully change position, so I hit them when I walk... and when I really hurt myself on them, I do it twice in the same part of my body in the week / month...
5- I'm "transport-sick", any transport : plane, boat, car (unless I drive), bus, subway... So if I can, I rather walk, take my bike, horse ride (I said if I could... I love horses. I grew up with horses ) ...or drive myself.
6- I still pursue the same dream then when I was a child. Some people say I'm still a child. But everybody thinks I'm younger than I really am, when they try to guess. Maybe cuz I still dress and make my hair like a teenager

Now, I have to tag people, right ?
Here, I tag : &

My Muse.
You came to me when I was only a baby.
While my parents showed me how to hold a pen,
You taught me how to draw.
When I was speachless,
You took my hand and made me paint.

Your passion became mine.
Your voice became my pictures.
You always been with me.
Always.
Til now.

I don't see you anymore.
I don't hear you anymore.
But I can feel you.
I feel the need to hear your voice again
Through a picture
Like we always did,
Together.

I miss you, my Muse.
Without you, I'm only half of myself.
Without you, I'm passionless.
I'm speachless again.

Please, come back to me.
My Muse.
I need you.

I am sorry.
Never I'll be able to repay all what you gave to me.
And never again will I jugde the power you imbued me with.
I will accept it as it is
Without jealousy for what you decided to give to the others.
The others who are better than I am.
I will accept your gift
The way you decide to offer me.

Please,
Come back to me.
I need to paint again.

Hello everybody !
Today is my birthday, so I thought I could organize a virtual party with my buddies of DA !

Let me introduce everyone first




Impressive folios :


Let me start with my friend from south africa who's specialist with insect photography, often in macro. See he's gallery, it's amazing!



Then, I have a couple of "friends" who probably doesn't know I exist, but I watch their folio with



and ; now, what's interesting with *gilad is... he's not only very good photograph, but he also makes the promotion of "unknown beauty" through his journal, finding like once a month or week (not sure) pictures (at least 10) who's artist has less than 400 pageview. Unfortunatly for me, I'm too famous for this since I've reached 500 after almost a year here


I who's a horserider, I particully enjoy the scenes from ; all the dry dust makes something very magical to his horse pictures




My buddies

I'll also mention as special guests, not to forget my very first budd here : who makes my laugh more... ]]> *DemieLune http://DemieLune.deviantart.com/journal/7310811/ http://DemieLune.deviantart.com/journal/7310811/ Wed, 14 Dec 2005 15:12:35 PST

Coucou everyone !
I've been away for a while ... since my subscibing account went away at the wrong time (and everything was blocked ...or something I didn't understood well anyway...) I was really (I really mean REALLY!) broked, so I couldn't affort to pay a new subscibe, I couldn't take any pictures neither so, since I had not much to show... well, I've wait...

I don't have much to show (yet) but at least, I could take back the account... and I've paid it for a year, so I should be ok...

Anyway, even if it has been a somewhat tuff year, I'm back and hoping I'll be able to make more photo soon !

Yep. After a couple of weeks, I'm back to square 1. "Lost my job" isn't the word... let's say, it didn't work out, so... oh well, that's the way it is !

Mood: Boogie man !
Reading: Learning Tarot

So, everything is now official. I'm starting this week to work for the tattoo guy [link] ! It's sooner that what's been told at first, but something happened and he suddently needed me fast like an emergency !

So, for the first time I'll officially work as a drawer, for tattoo design, and I'm supposed to get the training to tattoo myself, but... we're not there yet !

Since it's a bit complicated (and expensive) to get there by bus, I'll go check to buy or rent a car ; it's been like what... 3, 4 years that I didn't have a car ? Last one died (truly) and I'm walking since then It does change a lot of yourself and the way you see thing, when you accept to simply work, not have a car (since here is very capitalist and people were telling me "you should get a car"... like, no way, I'm in the middle of the city, bus at my frontdoor, and I can get everything I want with a 30 minutes walk ! Why would I really need a car for ??)

Anyway, now that I'll work outside of big city and that I will/should have more money then... well, more than what I have since 3, 4 years, since I can't buy a car I'll start to think about it more seriously. I still found the idea weird... Like, I found a job yay but to get there, it cost me like 25% for my salary in car/gaz and such

Big change in any case and I'll be able to see my dad more often ! (cuz he lives halfway between here and my job)
