C'est La Vie

Bonsoir. None of the pictures on my tumblr are really mine unless its an actual picture of me. I usually import them from outside sources and other blogs. So I dont mind at all. :)

I’m American, but I speak French and I’m currently learning Japanese. Though, I’d also really like to learn Korean and eventually Spanish. I also have an interest in Italian and Portuguese as well. If I could learn every language I would because I’m a huge linguaphile and lover of world cultures and travel.

Without them we wouldn’t be living, because surely we arent in Heaven. I suppose though that the flux and flow of life is healthy to a degree, as everyone needs at least a little bit of stress in their life. And surely it helps us grow as individuals to learn from the negative things in our life

Yes, well I am quite the interesting individual I would say. 

Oh why thank you, aren’t you nice. Just watch out for the sarcasm and witty remarks from time to time, and the overly dry humor, and I am manageable. Well, that and I can be pretty over the top random sometimes too.

1) Intelligent - Because it’s a huge turn on when someone is able to hold an intellectual conversation and talk about matters of actual importance from time to time. No one likes an idiot… except maybe to laugh at.

2) Motivated - Because a person who does not set goals for themselves and is not driven to better themselves in all aspects of their life is really not worth my time. I want to be successful and lead a good life, and I want to look back and see my diligence and hard work as the primary source of my success.

3.) Humorous - Because it’s a necessary and healthy way to let go of some of the seriousness life often throws our way and to better enjoy life overall. One word for people with no sense of humor, “NEXT!”

4.) Compassionate - Because in such an imperfect world it’s necessary to be able to put oneself in the shoes of others (be they human or animal) and work towards positive change. This takes a very loving, empathetic, passionate individual—one who is definitely worthy of my attention.

5.) Cultured - Because I appreciate a person with a certain manner of sophistication about them, especially those with a great appreciation for learning more about the world around them, and the many languages and cultures yet to be explored. I would travel the world if I could just to experience all the amazing sites, people, food, culture, and languages. A cultured individual is certainly a more well-rounded individual.

For the most part, I don’t post a lot of asks because I don’t think my followers want Anon spam all over my Tumblr (but maybe they do). Other than that, I usually just answer User questions in private responses to try and minimize the amount of random text all over my Tumblr page, lol.

I don’t get a whole lot of questions, and if I do they’re generally user’s with accounts which I also generally respond to in private messages so as to not ruin the “flow” of my blog—yes, I am a bit OCD with that, haha. I think a lot of users come to my blog because they like the pictures I post, not so much a bunch of anonymous message responses. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the ask box love. :P

I guess the very best answer is to ask them yourself, or, if they’re someone you feel that you may be in love with, profess your love for them and gauge their response. However, you could always monitor the actions and emotions of the other person as well. Sometimes, if you’re good with picking up such subtleties, you may be able to get the hint. Do they want to see you a lot, are they really affectionate towards you, etc.? These are things you could take note of. Perhaps try and take the initiative yourself and see how the other person responds, too. And, unfortunately, just be aware that sometimes what seems like love may not really be the case and you’ll have to be able to use your common sense and logical reasoning to pick out sincerity from an act. Some people are better than others at reading people, but I’m sure if you took a lot of these things into account then things might become more clear. But, like I said, you will never TRULY know unless you ask.

I’m no expert on love, but common sense and reasoning can be a big help. Be wary of overly charming individuals and don’t ignore the fact that the saying, “love is blind,” reigns true in some situations, as every now and then it’s good to critique your own feelings and emotions.

I’m twenty, and If I had a dollar for every time I’ve ever been asked my sexual orientation by a stranger I’d be a millionaire by now, I swear. At this point I just keep ‘em guessing. Get to know me, I’m a lot more interesting than a label. And also, it’s OK to not go anon… I don’t bite. :P

I actually don’t fall in love that easily at all… in fact I can’t say I’ve truly met someone that I thought would be able to sweep me off my feet. There may have been attractions, but for me to fall in love with someone it’s all part of a gradual process. I’m one to follow my head more so than my heart anyhow, and I haven’t ever sought out love or a relationship. Basically, I would just be looking for a respectable, genuine, and intelligent individual. Someone who is cultured and can hold a substantive conversation but who can also enjoy being stupid and silly. As for appearance, moderate to good looks and a healthy lifestyle will do—I’m not asking for someone super amazingly gorgeous as I don’t like to think of myself as being anywhere near amazingly gorgeous, but hey if someone out of my league likes me for me than I’m fine with that. Haha :P

Well, I guess it depends on what region i end up living in. sightseeing in paris, exploring the countryside, visiting the alps or the beaches. there is so much to see i wouldnt know where to start :P
