Hello everyody!
I 'm going to introduce myself : I am a 17-years old French girl. I really enjoy reading Chuck P's books. As for a lot of other people, I discovered him with Fight Club, the movie. It was a real schock for me. Yes, it was 5 in the morning and during all day long I was trying to understand it. Now it's okay ( actually 6 years later ... it's better).
I am not going to add a lot of other things now. I just apologise in advance if I don't speak correctly.My English way of speaking is very schoolish and sometimes (ok, a LOT of time), wrong. If there are other French people around here, let me know, it could be interesting to speak together in our mother tongue (not about carpets, of course, but about Chuck P's works) .
Well , that's it...I think ... I'm a little bit warped but I hope you will not notice it ...And I m not going to pretend to have a lot of style in my way of seeing things around me. I leave this to the others... Smile Big
Bye!

just steer clear of any child molestors and you should be good to go around here. As for worrying about your speech you should chill out...people who speak English natively still mess up so it's no big deal. Anyway, welcome and stuff...hope you enjoy it

that's funny that you don't like french music. I don't like most of polish music. And one of my japanese friends don't listen to japan music.

Well, if American music is country, then I don't like American music.

...but I suppose that's too broad a generalization, isn't it?

Country sucks.

Yeah but currently in France we are drowned by very bad variety music. Maybe it's a generalisation, but I prefer to do it, because for 500 variety songs in the hit parade, you have 10 good songs . But I appreciate old songs. Now it's crap .

Je n'en ai absolument aucune idée. Je sais juste que l'accent du français québecois correspond à l'accent du français français du Moyen-Âge.Et qu'il y a des mots qui n'ont pas le même sens... Is it ok?
