  • Quelque chose à dire.

    I'm just looking for anyone to have a chat with.
    Any shared interests?
    Speak English?

  • J'aime toujours parler de...

    How about a round of random questions?
    I also love hearing a good story from someone. It doesn't have to have the makings of a novel. Even if your just bitching about something that happened at work.

  • Villes et pays visités

    Short trips to England, Scotland, Germany.
    I was in the US for a summer.
    I was in Australia for about a year.

  • Mes plus grandes fiertés

    Completing this list of questions.
    Quitting smoking.

  • Ce qui m'intéresse dans les autres cultures

    Nothing specific. Just looking for a chat

  • Je suis un(e) expert(e) à...

    Nothing so far, but I'm working on that.

  • Un défi personnel

    I used to say quitting smoking, but maybe changing my diet was harder.

  • Livres/auteurs/films favoris

    Too many to name...
    I like Sci-fi/fantasy, comedy, thriller in both books and movies. Occasionally non-fiction for books.
    I don't read that much but I listen to audiobooks regularly.

  • Vivre à l'étranger pendant un an

    A few years ago I wanted to go to either South Korea or Japan for work. Teaching English as a foreign language. In the end I didn't go, which I sort of regret now.

  • Pour un monde meilleur...

    Everybody needs to be more like me
    I'm joking of course. Sometimes I think that's what peoples answers to these kind of questions boil down to.
    I don't know how to make the world a better place, Maybe with free t-shirts.

  • Je suis capable de...

    Public speaking. I was actually a member of a group called Toastmasters, which practiced public speaking. It was fun.
    I'm not sure how well that skill holds up today though.

  • Plaisirs d'enfance

    Saturday.
    There's Saturday morning cartoons. No school. It was one day of the week I got to have what I wanted for dinner.

    Also, dinosaurs.

  • J'ai récemment appris...

    Can't think of anything. I guess I learnt that I need to do more learning

  • Dans 10 ans

    I'm not sure where I see myself. I wonder if we'll all be living half our lives in virtual reality in 10 (or 20) years.
    Just please not under lockdown.

  • Actuellement, je suis emballé par...

    Meeting more people online

  • Quelque chose d'inhabituel sur moi

    My fingerprints

  • C'était mieux avant

    We all look back and think of better or simpler times, but they did have their own problems. I look back now and 2019 feels that way.
    But my parents generation bought their houses much easier.

  • C'est mieux maintenant

    Something that's improved is technology. Communication, computer games etc.

  • J'aimerais que les gens connaissent davantage...

    Maybe their own point of view.
    I think people often have opinions or beliefs handed to them by others without questioning them. They might go years without wondering why they believe what they believe.
    BTW I don't think I'm the only one who is immune to this! But I think if your beliefs are important to you then maybe you should question them.

  • Étant enfant, j'aurai aimé...

    I wish I hadn't worried what others thought of me. After all they're only kids.
    I also wish I'd actually done my homework and studied occasionally.

  • Une carrière sans obstacle

    If I could pick any career I'd probably become an engineer of some kind. Just because I have a bit of a technical mind.

  • Mes parents et moi

    I used to believe I was very different from my parents, but the older I get the more I think I'm like my parents. Both my mother and father.

  • Mon sentiment sur le futur

    I try to be optimistic about the future. As a sci=fi fan I look to the future and try to think of some of the cool technology (being used responsibly).
    There is a sort of creeping authoritarianism around the world that makes me feel not so optimistic.
    Try to stay focused on the positive stuff.

  • Mon opinion sur la nature humaine

    I'm not sure being good and being selfish are mutually exclusive.
    I think that good selfless acts are rare.
    When we're good to someone it's kind of expected to be repaid. We're usually within our own social circles. It's like we're proving ourselves to be a valuable member of our group.

  • Je trouve inquiétant...

    That my laptop battery will run out before I find the charger

  • Une astuce ou un conseil

    Don't believe everything you're told.

  • Mes regrets

    I regret things all the time. Maybe most regrettable is all the time I've spent regretting things.

  • Pour améliorer le système scolaire...

    "It's a miracle that curiosity survives formal education." Einstein
    I'd like to see lessons move at the speed of the children learning them, rather than the speed of the school system.

  • Je trouve surfait ou sous-estimé...

    Facebook is overrated.
    AdBlock is underrated.
