Hi, I'm puka23.... ok ok, my real name is Hyacinthe (I disliked that name I was younger 'cause it's a girl name in english ) I'm a 17 year old guy from montréal, francophone and proud of it and wishing to be able to speak english correctly (my sentences sounds good in my head but I've got difficulties pronouncing them) I've got a town with my name (st-Hyacinthe) between montréal and quebec city. I lived in montréal almost all my life (I live at Longueil for about 2 years when I was 3y-o). I always liked to draw,read, watch the saturday morning show and making soap bubbles in my yard. I'm currently studding at Cegep du vieux-montréal in Art plastique (fine art) and wish someday to become an high school art teacher. I consider myself as an varied artist because I try many differents things like pencil, paint, photography and sculpture. I dislike cigarettes, alchool (maybe not cider or venician amaretto tough ), people who think they're better then others, winter, dogs, parisian accent, math, boiled turnip, pineapple ham, the metro (I've got some clostrophobic tendenses) and the sound of nails on chalkboard. you can see my stuff there puka23.deviantart.com/

to éric thériault: I found steve requin and mazuko-chan while browsing on deviantart.com. I don't know them personally but I saw steve's stuff in Safarir. to dragon: in english hyacinth(no "e") is the scientific name of the water lilly (I think ), called jacinthe in french. when I search in a commun french dictionnary it's also some sort of rock. There is a quebecer novel called "le canard de bois" and the main character is a patriot named Hyacinthe, I think it's why my father liked that name

Do they still make you read that in the French litterary course? I have read that while I also was at Cegep du Vieux! Some things never change!

Puka: So...Your name is Lily? I just have to make fun of that. At least your not named after one of Adam and Eves sons. Seth. On top of that I also got an Irish last name. Rilea. Rilea comes from Riley, which in turn comes from the name of the clan O'Riley. Aren't names fun?
