I have a life again!

Ok, so I started my French course at the university of Nice and am so happy to be waking up at 6am every morning to travel to Nice for two hours on the bus! I know, it sounds really silly, but I actually like traveling that long - I sleep it off!

I love <3 my class and my teacher! Everyone is really great and positive, and we all made friends very quickly which is sooooo cool! Some of us went out yesterday; they came to visit me in Cannes so of course we went for a spot of shopping - what else?!

And there might be a boy I like at the uni, I can't reveal his identity just yet but he does make me smile :D

Tiger Lady

Isn't it just so great when a stranger understands your conversation?!!?

Last night Mrs T and I were on the town again, doing a bit of make-up shopping (YAY!!) and I noticed a lady dressed top-to-toe in tiger skin! OMG! She looked horrendous, and I was sure to point it out very quickly to Mrs T of course. Just then, a guy who'd been staring at me thinking I hadn't noticed it, stopped walking and joined in our observation of the Tiger Lady. Then he said (in a very clear American accent: "So many people here look that way!"
OMG! OMG! OMG! I love, love, love New York accent! I had to smile at him even though he wasn't my type at all but, somewhere in the back of my mind he managed to open that door I've been trying to keep closed since last Christmas and the time Mr NY messed up my head.... This time I just walked away.

Cold!!!

Mr Romance

A week ago Mrs T and I went shopping on rue d'Antibes in search of Christmas presents for The Boss. It was whilst admiring the Chocolate Window that a very strange old man with dirty -literally- long grey hair and aviators approached me and started speaking to me in French. I recognised a few words such as Coaffure -if that's even how you spell it, but basically means Hair, and some other words I cannot spell or pronounce... I did however, understand that he was saying my hair style was nice. So I smiled and thanked him trying to walk away, but he kept walking alongside me and saying stuff like ' My Cherry..' and I was absolutely freaked out!!
A few minutes later he approaced me again and this time in English, said: "I wish you a lot of romance in life." OMG! I was shocked, confused, scared and flattered at the same time! Here was this old person wishing me something so beautiful and he didn't even know me.

Three days later I was in the supermarket and saw the same old guy again. This time he wore leather trousers!! and his hair was clean. He was also with a woman, an old and leathery one (all women here look like that - too much sun exposure) with pin like legs, and they followed me through the store. Now, maybe it was just my imagination but the guy was everywhere I looked - and it's a big store!

The third time was just plain freaky! Mrs T and myself were out and about, purchasing Spanish vines for the festive season when the old man appeared again!!! This time, he didn't notice me, or at least I think so because I hid behind a mannequin outside a shop... He was wearing a very nice suede shirt - tres chic...

On the other hand, maybe he thought I was stalking him! After all, I did know what he wore and when, when he washed his hair and when he shopped with leathery lady friend.....

Prank call

During lunch today Mrs T and myself talked about funny pranks we played on people when kids - she threw moldy tomatoes and peaches out of the balcony onto the neighbors rooftops - neighbors called the police, she was scared to death and never to this day told her parents.
I on the other hand found such actions boring as a child. What I did find interesting though was prank calling. So one day a friend and I dialed a number off the top of our heads and it rang! What a feeling that was, incredible rush of adrenalin only a quite and shy child like me could experience - shameful! Anyhow, this old lady picked up the phone on the other end, and the conversation went something like this:

Me: Afternoon madame, I'm calling from a travel agency and would like to inform you that you have been selected as the winner of a holiday to America!

Old lady: Oh my, thank you. How did you find me?

Me: You were interviewed a few years ago on the street and we have now finally chosen you as the winner.

Old lady: Oh wow, I am so happy. Although I must say I do not recall ever being interviewed...

Me: Madame, you have won and all you have to do is give me your name now and take the number of the person who will give you the coupons.

After the poor old lady gave me her name and I gave her my mums work phone number i hung up and screamed in delight. Successful prank! On to the next one!

Fast forward a week and my mum comes home one evening and says: "The strangest thing happened today, this old lady called my work saying she'd won a holiday and she wants to claim it. I explained to her this could not have happened as we never give away holidays - we charge for them.....blah blah blah, I can't even remember what else she said but the look on her face told me that the look on my face was telling her something! And I was busted.
