Ce que j’aime faire de mes journées : rien. Je me définis comme un paresseux. Les DVD et les livres sont mes seuls amis, car ils n’exigent aucune concession de ma part. Même travailler ne me viendrait pas à l’esprit. Voilà pourquoi je prête mon corps à la science. Je participe à des études cliniques en tant que cobaye. Pas de responsabilités, peu d’exigences. On me paie pour tester des produits.

Ce qui me définit le mieux : ma passion pour le cinéma. Un jour, je tournerai mon propre film. Quand j’aurai de l’argent. Beaucoup d’argent. J’étais totalement à sec à mon arrivée en ville. Heureusement que Mini a accepté de partager son "appartement" avec moi. C’est grâce à elle que j’ai découvert AlphaLab.

Warning: You may have a huge, invisible spider living in your skull. This is not a metaphor. You will dismiss this as ridiculous fearmongering. Dismissing things as ridiculous fearmongering is, in fact, the first symptom of parasitic spider infection - the creature secretes a chemical into the brain to stimulate skepticism, in order to prevent you from seeking a cure. That’s just as well, since the “cure” involves learning what a chain saw tastes like. You can’t feel the spider, because it controls your nerve endings.
