More about my (not so humble) self!

Name: Christine Drossart
I chose the nick "kuri-chan" for two reasons:
1. it is a "japanesed" short for my name (kurisutiinu)
2. kuri means "chestnut tree" in Japanese...and the soul asylum that's close to my home is named "les marronniers" ("the chestnut trees") ;-))
Age: 20
Height: 172cm (without my usual 10cm heels ...)
Weight: of course I won't tell it, what did you think???

Occupation: I'm in third year university, in translation/interpretation, I'm studying French (of course), English, Dutch (not very good level) and Japanese (improving)
Qualities: Gee, here comes the difficult point!! What could I say?? One on my friends once described me as "intelligent, crazy and sparkling (like Coke...)" Now if you want to find out if that's true or not...write to me! Apart from this, I can tell I'm sensitive (is this really a quality?), loving and (far too much) forgiving and I'm interested in looots of things!
Faults: Too shy!! over-emotionnal, vain (yep, I admit it ^^;), lazy (ask my classmates...), inconsistant at times and too nice sometimes (that gets me into a real patsy, see...)
Looks: Tall (you've noticed, 172cm... (sigh)), greyish eyes, hair changing once a month so I can't tell this once and for all...

Qualifications: err...I can cook! (actually, that's very new to me, so I'm really proud of it!), I can translate a text from English or Dutch and romanize a Japanese text (if you don't mind some mistakes from time to time), I can read some hieroglyphs and...errr...I'm sure I can do other things, just give me some time to think more about it ;-))

I like: ok, prepared to read a looong list? here it is: love, crazy people, people who understand me (there are few ;)), music, history, manga and anime, reading (already said), movies, mythology, Egypt, Japan, languages, poetry, Béjart's ballets, astrology and tarots (I apologize to Cartesians :-p), Star Trek TNG and Star Wars, lasagna, chocolate and Chinese food, and... (out of breath)
I don't like: love (I told you I was inconsistant ;-)), liars, boring or too self-centered people, cleaning up (though I do it every day), not understanding other people, being fooled, being obliged to go to school (that's why, when I feel like staying home instead of having boring classes, ... hehe ;-))

So, that's it! I've made this page on the suggestion of Viviane "Boadicea" Reber, aka the Killer Queen ;), and I hope that will get the people I am writing to to know me better (if they are THAT masochistic :pp)
