Eh, moi, I like these kinds of stakes

I think this video is absolutely precious

The Letter

About a month ago, I received a letter
It arrived by accident, a postman’s mistake
Sprayed with perfume, red lipstick on it
I probably shouldn't have opened it.

But I'm a man who likes this kind of game
She can call me Alphonse or Fred, it's up to her.

Beautiful daisies on the top of her "i"
Curving handwriting like in abbeys
A few spelling mistakes, a touch of dyslexia (lawl if you are watching the video, the words in the air spell out "idiout" kekeke I got a kick out of that)
And, as a signature:  "your sexy little blonde"

And I'm a man who likes this kind of game,
I don't like nuns, and so I've fallen in love with her

She wrote that on Sunday, she'll be on the top of the cliff
Where I first grabbed her hips
And if hypothetically I don’t have tact to take responsibility for my escapades
She'll choose the impact 30 meters below

But I'm a man who likes these kinds of stakes,
I don't want her to be knocked senseless, because I've fallen for her

Thanks to the stamp from a town on the Channel
I was there at the out-post on that Sunday morning
There was nobody there, but I'll have to be patient
It's not like there are hundreds of suicidal blonde girls.

But I'm a man who likes these kinds of stakes,
I want to fight against Newton because I've fallen for her

She was hanging over the Channel when I recognized her
I grabbed her by the sleeve, my naive little girl
Who wasn't so innocent, proven by the profile
Made by a little inhabitant under her navel

But I'm a man who likes these kinds of stakes,
He can call me dad if he wants to
If he wants to

There was a post today on egl about gratuitous japanese, which I find nails-on-chalkboard terrible....but then I realized, I totally do the same with French XD  It's getting kinda bad you guys...Cat and I have long conversations where we toss in random French words "I'm gonna go acheter some apples" "J'ai pas enviieeee de study"  "I just manged the shit out of that" (this is Cat's favorite haha)  It's just more convient somehow, I dunno.  I need to break myself of the habit before I go back home where I'm the only one who speaks French haha...I throw in random words on Skype and my family is not impressed.  On the other hand, I like to think that it's not quite the same, because I actually know, very well at that, the language I am inserting...granted we usually say it with an American accent, but if I wanted to, I could fix it.  I kind of like bilingual conversations, they seem charming to me somehow...

In other news, I'm doing much better than my last entry.  All the traveling during spring break and then the fact that I only have three more weeks makes it a lot better, I'm not so desperate, I know it will come eventually ^^

I think it's kind of funny that all my entries are of the little things in between the big events...I mention things like the lolita meetup in Paris, and my giant two weeks of major travel during Volcanogate for spring break, but I never actually write entries on them ^^;;;  Sorry guys haha...I just never end up feeling like doing it, journal writing to me is more of a quiet task than a LOOK WHAT I DID kind of thing.  But I'll still tell anyone stories if they ask...and maybe throw some gratuitous French in there if you ask prettily :D

france randomness, translations
