Emma, stop noticing what I'm noticing. The lack of asians here is indeed disturbing. But I saw one today! She asked me to take a picture of her with her camera, and I'm all like 'finally!'. Other things that are weird here, people are always walking around with baguettes, I'm freaked out by the number of people in shorts, everyone rides bikes without helmets, there are grown men riding around on those push scooters, and everyone writes using fountain pens. Also, Dragon Ball Z has to be the funniest show ever in french. I'm glad no one else was in the room, I was cracking up.
Nayways, yesterday we had a christmas party at Marine's grandparents house, cause we're spending actual christmas with her other Grandparents. They live in this really fancy appartment in Paris. After lunch (which was huge), Marine, her sister Clémence and I went out to a nearby shopping strip. There are boutiques everywhere. There seems to be this one shop that's their favourite, everyone keeps talking about it.
Last night, two of Marine's friends came over to watch a movie. You know what we watched? Star Wars. They're all like "Do you know it?", and I'm just like "Oh, yeah, I know it. Very well.". We even watched it in english, with english subtitles. I ended up having to translate gungan into french. They thought Jar Jar was funny. Phsst. They also reckoned Anakin was really cute, and I'm like "But they sense the fear in him!".
Then today, the mum and dad took me to see a part of the Chateau de Versailles. I say a part, because the whole thing is brain-bustingly massive. As in, they have their own sheep massive. We didn't go to the main building, we went into one of the smaller houses, used for parties and stuff. Even still, it was pretty big. The gardens are massive. Photos still coming, I haven't got time to upload them now. The whole thing is so lavish, no wonder thsoe peasants were so pissed off. That plus the fact that it's really cold. They were talking on the news today about all the snow storms around France.
I dreamed I was making brownies last night. Now I really want brownies.

I found myself looking at this and thinking that "parties" has the same letters as "pirates."
I think I need to sleep.
I noticed that once. A pirate party would either be really awesome or really lame.
I think pirate party and I think adults dressed badly as pirates sipping champers around lounge chairs in a dim room. So yeah, really lame.
