If Paris was a girl part 5

I've had a long and hard day at work, trying to talk to my boss and getting clues about his past, nothing. He seems more focused on work, more silent as well. Maybe even harder in a way, boss-like harder. And you know what? I looove it.

I'm not fond of machos you know. I'm pretty simple and open-minded. I just like cute, cool, funny, smart, nice guys. But when my boss does his demanding-powerful-uncompromising thing, it really turns me on like... crazy. I get excited everytime he's being hard on someone, or in front of people... except when he's criticising me of course... But I love it when he does it to the others.

All this power and mystery in only one man! That even makes him hotter than i ever imagined him. I wonder why I've never fancied him. Maybe because he's my boss. I never fancy my bosses or workmates. Never. That saves me a lot of trouble... at work... since trouble's been my best enemy for years in my personal life. More on that later. It's nice and important to protect a part of your life I decided it would be my work.

I'm home with my housemate Clara. Been friends since Uni years. We're close but different you know. She's my good friend, been collecting fun stories, experiences and all together. More on her later.

Told her all about the story waiting for her advice. She became curious about the issue and had a great idea!

We're officially on a mission: unveil Gabriel and Mark's mysterious past thanks to Google, the best invention on earth since mini-deo sticks!

Mission kit: Pizza / beers / chocolate/ comfie pyjamas:

- Ok… Gabriel Hardy Gallant and Mark Rozenstrauss! There we go!

- Hardy Gallant?!

- Yes why?

- Well, is he hardy...

- ... and is he gallant?! HAHAHAHA

- and... Rozenstrauss means rose bouquet...

- OMG... sounds promising. Ooooooooooh!

- … hum… very interesting…

- ...no way… OMG…

- the hairstyle hahaha… oh they looked so hot together…

- Gabriel is so hot ... and that Mark of yours!!! Lucky bitch!

- mmm this smile… who’s that bitch? … 10M$! That was a big agency…

- oh… they did this commercial… they’re so funny… ah I love them…

OMFGoodness!!! You will never believe what we just found! We were so excited with all the news we couldn’t stop eating and drinking… hence stomach ache… but so much joy!

Clara had a massive crush for Gabriel! She thinks he's really hot and has a nice smile and all. She also knows Mark... showed her some pictures of our last company party. She thinks I'm lucky to have a hot and powerful boss.

So apparently Mark and Gabriel were associates in their NY office. They used to work in the same team and earned loads of projects. They were so successful and hot that they became associate directors in the agency. Then 6 months later Gabriel suddenly left the company with no explanation, but people thought it was for personal reasons.

Hmm, rather mysterious don’t you think? Makes my imagination go wild! Sweet dreams, come to me! Us... come to us!

Outlandish: You hear them, you see me ***

I am a very complicated girl, that is a fact, but that's also because of the cultural shock I've always had to deal with. I was born in France, from Muslim Algerian parents.
My heart, my soul are from both sides of the Mediterranean sea. I love it. I am both African and European, Algerian and French, of Muslim and Christian cultures. I feel great about it. We all should feel lucky about all these sources of intellectual and cultural wealth!

France is such a great country. Beautiful, with great history, great social and cultural achievements as well as awful aspects, just as any country I suppose. But it has that unique quality that the world envies us, even if it annoys them at the same time.

Why do I feel the need to justify myself for being what I am? Why am I starting to feel the fear my origins could provoke in some people's minds? It never happened before.

Why is France so afraid of this new diverse and challenging generation? Because she fears all the wrong she did before would hit her back on the face? But it is our country, why would we hurt it?! I feel we are a democracy and the country, the people and the governement should respect all its aspects. Encourage the good ones, as social and cultural diversity. And fight the ones who don't approve them.
I may be naive, but I suppose we all want to be happy, but we should learn how to be happy together.

France shouldn't forget who and what she is: a very generous nation, based on social solidarity and international awareness of human rights. A dream place where freedom has its real power and practice. Where is our freedom going?

All I want is people and the government to understand it and fight for the right things, not for bourgeois privileges and promotion of ignorance.

These guys are Outlandish, a Danish hip hop band whose members belong to the Pakistani, Moroccan, Hondurian, Muslim, Christian communities in Denmark, could we even say Europe! Their sound is really cool and diverse. It takes its origins in the musical and social background that surrounded them. They sing in English, Danish, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic and their lyrics are about life, diversity, social inequality, good and evil in this world, international peace, love of course! Please check them out, they're great. They could be so successful in France. They would be an echo to what's happening here. Lots of people could relate to them.

You see them, you see me. You hear them, you hear me!

Simon Baker ***

Ok girls... I have a word or two to say about Simon Baker, the sexy Mentalist. I love him. I want him. I dream about him. I love his smile, his eyes, his body, his voice, his demean. He sounds like a nice cool guy.

It's like... physically he's totally my type. But I never meet men like him in the streets, or clubs, or pubs. I'm not even sure at work. I never see guys like that. Maybe men this hot can only be actors, therefore unreachable. Or some kind of artists.

So that makes me think. If I want someone like him, would he want someone like me? I can't say I'm the hottest girl you've seen or met, and I'm not even close to being a pretty girl. Without being ugly, I suppose I'm a decent looking girl.

I know it's not just about people's appearances, especially when it comes to relationships, but sometimes that really counts. How many couple friends do you have to just don't fit together. They love each other, they're happy together, but when you look at them, you just think... what the hell?

I feel awful to say that because it's vain and unfair, but that is so true. And then it feels like they have nothing to do together, just because they don't respect the physical reciprocity code... Anyway if I am not attracted to decent looking guys, how could they be attracted to me?

If I want a Simon Baker, would he want a girl like me? He'd have to get to know me and all, but would he be attracted enough to want to discover me? I know he's married and unreachable. thanks...

I want an Alpha man, but I am no Alpha girl. How is that supposed to work then?
