• a goodwillfull list of New Year's resolutions

     

    Without any introduction, the list :

    1. Learn how o speak Korean
    2. Lear how to type quickly on a keybord
    3. Finish my first year of medecine studies with not-so-bad/good grades
    4. Write more reviews
    5. Watch all of the Woody Allen's movies
    6. The same with Pedro Almodovar
    7. And Gus Van Sant
    8. And Lars von Tier
    9. And Tim Burton
    10. Read all of the Jane Austen's Books
    11. Finish "A song of ice and Fire" (well, all the books in store)
    12. Read more (to be less specific)
    13. Buy a camera
    14. Use it
    15. Figure out what I want to do next year
    16. And maybe try to see even further ?
    17. Start a blog
    18. Make my English better (especially the accent)

     

    Now, some explanations :

    I suck at learning languages : it never is a problem to learn how to read it, it's a bit more complicated to write without too many mistakes, and it's very difficult for me to speak with a good accent. So with 18, I want to try to improve my English - it's one of the reason I am currently not writing in French. 1 is just a stupid challenge I gave myself a while ago : but you know, I'm quite excited with the idea of learning Korean (and of watching kdrama without subtitles, yay!).

    The keybord (2) thing atcually is because I'm loosing too much time right now, by not optimizing my typing. And I want to type more this year, because I want to tell stories to perfect strangers : here comes 17 (that I will cross out right now), but also 4, the reviews thing. If you want to write reviews, you have to actually watch/read/listen to things : see 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. I really hope I'll be able to tell you great stories about my adventures with that.

    Now, the camera thing (13). I really hesitated between Medecine studies or Cinema studies ; I chose Medecine because it seemed more feasible, and more real. I'm starting to think it may not have been the best choice, because I really do not see myself being a doctor one day. But the studies are quite interesting (I think I have a pathological need to learn), and I will pursue them untill I have a better idea of how I want my life to look like. I hate giving up things, so I know that the day I'll decide to quit Medecine will be a hard day ; but it will be easier if I have good grades, and if I'm quiting for myself and not because I'm not capable of going on with the studies (Look, there's 3 !). Using the camera (14), talk to you about it on my blog should help me realize what is the path for me : this all blog thing is in fact my own way to try to figure out my future (15&16).

    Did I made any sense ?

    Well, I'll keep you posted about how I get ahead with all those promises 

     

    Thank for reading,

    Madeleine.

  • or The True Purpose

     

    Most of the time when I quote korean dramas, it’s because the times are dark, my friends. Very dark.

    So I want to begin by an apology. I will try not to write posts tryong to be philosophical qhen really, there not. I guess I was trying to explain myself - you know, why did I began a blog, and what for ? - but it's no use. I'm doing this for me, because I want to be an happier person and i genualy think this is going to help me. So sorry if it was crappy. I will propably do it again though -  publish crappy things I mean - I think a lot, but I'm also quite impulsive and I just can't help myself. I will take responsabilities for whatever stupidities I may publish one day ; and this lucky day, you will be able to hear me apologize, again. And maybe quote kdrama.

    Well, a ankward explanation about the my precious mistakes (and mistakes-to-be) ? Done.

    But so extraordinary that it may seem to you, this apology digression wasn’t the point of my post. I know, astonishing isn’t it ? What i really want to talk to you about today is The True Purpose. The true purpose of my blog, of course, if you want to know the purpose of life, I afraid I can’t help you. Well, not today.

     

    The True Purpose : let’s get into it

    Why did I decide to begin a blog ? That is a very good question, and I would love to tell you about it ; how the idea slowly grew in my mind ; how it became so voluminous I had to do something about it ; how I tried ; how I failed ; why I decided to express myself in english, this wonderful language but still not mine ; why ? how ? Lot’s of extremely interesting explanations are waiting right here, but I’m aware that I can’t expect to be read if I’m just talking about me. So I will go onto them, but not right now, not today (Yay !). No, today, I’ll be focusing of the what. What am I going to feed you with ?

    My idea is quite simple. I am a books, movies and tv shows lover (but who isn’t), and maybe a bit too much of a geeky person (I personnaly think that there’s no such thing as a “too much geeky person” but you know, some might think) and I want to share my opinions with you. But I don’t want to write reviews anly : what I would like is to create “events”, meaning gathering people sharing a commun interest and make everyone participate. It’s still a bit blurry in my head, so I guess I don’t make much sense right know, so let me give you some examples :

    • I’d like to watch all adaptations I could possibly find of Jane Austen works, and I will invite you (in due course) to do the same. I will write reviews about it, provide myself with information and study all of it. Because I’m such a open person, I won’t restrict myself with “official adaptation” (read : the ones you can find of wikipedia) and I will be happy to watch/ read anything linked to the word of Jane Austen. Even if the link is really, really, really thin.
    • In a bigger picture, there’s a lot of directors who are very dear to me, and a lot of their movies which I do not have seen, yet. That is something I’d like to work on, by organizing “retrospectives”. I will probably begin with Woody Allen, because it’s so much simple to begin with someone whose work is not too numerous.
    • If I can gather some people, I’d like to organize events such as “One episode a day” with TV shows. But I will get into that later.
    • If I ever buy myself a camera, I will probably do some Youtube post from time to time. Nothing too fancy, it would be to illustrate my posts. We’ll see.

    This is the first examples I could think of, but my head is full of other things I swear. I often seek otally useless informations on Wikipedia, and I have a brain full of useless things that I will be more than happy to share with you. It’s facts that I believe very funny and very interesting, but you know, I still not sure I am a completely sane human being. But who is, right ?

    Hoping I will manage to arouse you curiosity,

    Madeleine

    To come : my New Year’s Resolution, translations in French and more about my tastes. So you can, you know, decide if I’m worth listening to (I will do that very soon, I promise).
