! intro, julie

So he's finally here! *cue Kermit flailing of arms* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! This will sadly probably be my last character, because i am so abominably slow with apps. Anyway recap... I'm Julie, 28, from Australia and currently an at home person as I've been recovering from broken ankle/leg for past 6 months but hoping to possibly get back to TAFE next year to get back into Graphic Design. Here at AG I'm the deputy mod, not that I've been much of one of late, and my other two characters are Allegra Flint (Slytherin, Fifth Year) and Cassius Warrington (Slytherin, Sixth Year)... er, no i don't have a thing for playing Slytherins. >.>

This here is Rémy Laurent. He's a 7th Year from Beauxbatons; more specifically the 7B class. Er, he does actually have a middle name, but in trying to finish the app off I haven't had a chance to properly think of what it ought to be.

Rémy is a naturally charming, friendly, easy-going type of person. Generally never has a bad word to say about anyone, and that's including people he doesn't like. (OMG don't you just hate him now?) He's the sort of person that prefers the quiet rather than say go to a Quidditch match. He is a completely hopeless romantic (but he's not going to sit around waiting for Prince Charming).
He looooves music! Loves singing and playing his guitar. He's also pretty good with drawing/sketching, but doesn't really pursue it seriously.

As for family he sadly has no siblings, but he's okay with that. His mother, Françoise, is an artist, who despite being muggleborn deals mostly in magical portraiture, murals and landscapes rather than muggle art. His father, Guillaume, helps runs his family's business... which I've yet to figure out what it is except that it leaves the family being moderately wealthy. :/

So where might you see Rémy? Well he's taking Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Astronomy, Charms, Potions and Transfiguration. So if you take those clases you'll see him around. He's also in the Choir and Drama clubs; and is grateful that the foreign students have been allowed to join. So yay.

Sadly for the girls sighing about French boys, this one is gay... buuuuut there is a bit of plottage where poor Samir thinks that Rémy is straight because he's always seen being friendly with this girl... but that's just Rémy's natural state. The only things we've (Patricia and I) have really figured out (but cant decide on) is a) the poor girl in question doesn't realise that Rémy isn't because well one he's gay and two he kind of has his eye on someone else; or b) the girl is simply one of his Beauxbatons friends.... so kind of have to decide on that.

And to stop myself from rambling on and on I'll end things here, only to say that am totally up for any plot. So friends/frenemies/enemies/whatever apply within. And if you want to read more on the boy just go here.

Any other questions that weren't answered by the profile can be asked in comments I suppose.

- Julie

EDIT: So I realised I forgot to mention whereabouts Rémy comes from/lives. Right so Rémy (when not at school) lives with his parents in a smallish wizarding area in Montpellier in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. Ended up choosing Montpellier because a) sooooooo so pretty, b) er future plottage reasons. >.>

	nods Over here in ozland, my favourite 'cheap' chocolate is Red Tulip, though usually only get to have that around easter unfortunately. nods I suppose one way to try is using google to translate from english to french, but then take the translation and put it back in english... though not going for the literal obvsly but something close. ?

	I'm a die-hard fan of Garoto chocolate, myself. It's cheap in price, but definitely not "cheap" when it comes to flavour. Yes, that's a possibility, though I'm afraid in some cases that method doesn't help much in terms of word placement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mm i know that feeling. Am a die hard fan of Red Tulips mini solid easter eggs. One year I bought 3 bags (maybe 20 or so eggs in a bag... give or take)... just for myself. Yeah just gave it a try and still didn't really help my brain figure out whereabouts in the grammar of things to do it right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh dear. I've fallen to that temptation myself, only in my case with Kinder (another of my weaknesses). And I should mention that I need to hide my chocolate whenever I buy a Garoto mix, not only because it's delicious but also because, as I've mentioned, the twins will grab anything they feel is related to Doctor Who - you see, the name of that brand's plain milk chocolate can be translated to English as "Hello, sweetie".

Ah well, you'll get there very quickly, I'm sure. *sends good vibes*

	Mmm Kinder chocolate. My mum has huge collection of Kinder toys, and as kids we'd end up with lots of kinder chocolate whilst mum got the toys lol. giggles Good reasons to hide the chocolate. I hope so... cause so far am thinking of simply copping out and deciding he knows english pretty darn well. :\| (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like every sort of Kinder. My favourite variety when I was little were these big dolls with loads of teeny-tiny eggs inside. Nowadays I'm mad about Happy Hyppo. Well, making one small mistake here and there (and having him suffer vocabulary fails at times) can be enough, so don't worry too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I only ever really liked the Kinder Surprise chocolate. Although I did try Kinder Bueno... which is funny cause didn't really like it but I was okay with eating Ferrero Rocher (which Kinder/Ferrero make). o.O Well have made post, but made it private since wanted to run it by you first.

	The little eggs were rather good - the filling is basically the milk part you find in Kinder Surprise, but with added chopped nuts. Weeeeeell, although I like Kinder Bueno, it's possibly my least favourite. Ferrero Rocher, on the other hand, is fabulous. The flavour is not as intense as in Bueno's filling. Ooh, looking forward to it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ooh that does sound kind of nice. *nods* That's probably why I like Rocher and not Bueno then... but stranger still since I don't really like nuts anyway. For instance detest peanuts and peanut butter... but love peanut butter cookies and satay sauce. o.O

I tried posting without the box ticked, and then ticked, and then not ticked... didn't work. so made new intro entry, same process. still did not work. for some reason it finally decided to work when i did an untick and save entry, then edited it to say 2035, ticked the box... and then i was finally able to post the journal entry. ...argh.... still as glitchy as that was IJ is infinitely better than LJ. :|

Well, if you don't like peanuts, then peanut butter is definitely not going to be to your taste since there's no other ingredients (like the chocolate, or the other ingredients in the peanut butter cookies) to alter its flavour slightly. That, and peanut butter in my opinion tastes almost as intensely as Kinder Bueno.

Ugh yes, that's frustrating as hell, but a million times better than LJ.

	thatsmile 2012-11-20 05:21 pm UTC (link)
	Good point... and most definitely right about the mix of different ingredients altering/softening the peanut taste. Oh other peanutty thing I like is Picnic bars. Don't want to say so too loudly in case the spambots are listening, but have stopped getting the LJ notifs that were spam... at least for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlepharaoh 2012-11-20 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	Ooh, Picnic! They stopped selling those over here years ago, which is a shame. I like Sneakers, but it's definitely too peanutty for you. Yeah, I haven't received any spambot notif for a while either. Maybe this recent wave has ended. keeps fingers crossed (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Funnily enough I don't mind Snickers. Although since am not a fan of nutty chocolate they're something I only have veeeeery sporadically. crosses hers again And now proper Rémy entry is up. Now to make Samir flail a little by having Rémy comment on his artistic entry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	XD Even though it's a compliment? ps: does ressemblance actually work as translation for likeness? only ask since not entirely sure he'd know that word or not (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	littlepharaoh 2012-11-20 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	Especially because it's a compliment. He'll start running around his dorm, flailing and going "ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod!" XD ~~Dooooo iiiiiiit.~~ PS: You know, I'm not sure. I think it might be too literal, though, meaning more the act of resembling rather than the artistic meaning of likeness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatsmile 2012-11-20 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	giggles ps: thought that might be the case. hmm maybe go instead for using french for drawing/sketch? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And that icon isn't helping.

PS: Oh yes, that could definitely work. I seem to remember that the French word for sketch is esquisse - when I was little one of my aunts offered me a French version of Pictionary, ignoring the fact neither I nor my friends would be able to understand what's on the cards. For that reason I ended up never playing the thing, but the word was in box and stuck in my mind.
