1- My life story
Summery : A human, born in France and in the body
of a woman, has been living in the UK for 13 years, experiencing life
in many ways, including many aspects of the sex industry.
Overview of the character and personality
Difficult aspects of the personality: shy, introverted, highly and overly
sensitive. Grew-up with a very low self-esteem, non-existent self-worth
and thinking 'she' was rather ugly and awkward. Swayed, unable to tell
others what is going on within, in their face or at all; always eager
to please others and difficulty in saying no; highly self-critical,
demanding and perfectionist. Frightened of women and their judgement
or jealousy. Easily affected and hurt by anyone, preferred to sulk rather
than confront the problem with another , takes things personally and
cannot let go easily of unresolved matter (if at all).
Enjoyable aspects of the personality: Willing to try different
things; exhibitionist, highly sensitive, very analytical and keeps on
searching for answers; very curious; a high sense of 'faithfulness'
in relationships; kind nature, generous, eager to please others; a worker
to the best of her ability; always seeking for men's attention (since
she can't get women's). Joyful. Intuitive (so say the Zodiac charts).
Creative and resourceful. Enjoys making her own of everything, including
paintings, music, sewing, drawing, photography, cooking, crafts, gardening,
etc. Loves dance, particularly when she can be a stranger among an audience
of strangers and be who she wants, be non-existent though be watched
by others.
The beginnings, or how I ended up staying in the UK:
I came to England as an au-pair when I was 18. Quite soon after I arrived,
I started feeling uncomfortable around the family I was with. They were
a"New rich" English family who played Golf, and both worked.
They had 2 young children. They seemed very dysfunctional, coldly dismantled..
I will always remember the mother having a rattling go at me one day,
when I had told her 9 year old daughter that I was thinking of earning
some money by giving French lessons. The daughter, of course, had repeated
that to her mother. The mother had come to me fuming, saying "Do
you know what French Lessons mean!!!Don't ever say that to my daughter!"
She seemed to imply it meant some sort of dirty sexual activity or something
very disrespectful? To this day, I still don't know what "French
lessons" meant to her? To me, it meant, because I was French, that
I could teach non-French speakers this language, that I excelled at,
at college, as I had studied literature.(needless to say that I didn't
enjoy those studies at the time! I only chose litterature because I
wasn't good enough at science or maths. But now, after 13 years spent
in England, I would not be capable of being a French teacher as my French
sounds rather English!!!)

I also got very embarrassed at the mother telling me how much she
disliked her sister, how tedious she was, how tiring and how she couldn't
wait for her to go back home; that same day, the sister arrived to show
the family her photos from her trip to Egypt; the mother was so untrue
to what she had previously told me about her sister; she welcomed her
with open arms, a huge grin, saying “Darling, how lovelyyyyy to
see youuuu!!!” and her high pitch voice that many English women
use to project a somewhat (fake sounding) joy.
What I found hard to accept was the lack of respect she showed her sister,
in front of me, who was a stranger to her, and then acting as if she
loved her sister, when she obviously didn't.
From that day, I decided I didn't want to drag around them for too long,
or I may end up as hypocritical as they were, and I had enough troubles
in myself to be honest, without needing to absorb anyone else's mental
patterns!
About a month and a half after I arrived, I left the au-pair family,
not without various threats and accusations coming from the mother:"You
will not even survive out there! The world is a terrible and nasty place!
How selfish you are! Do you know how much you cost me? How much I had
to pay to get you over here!" Yes. I know, you just told me, I
cost you a couple of hundred pounds and food. But didn't I do your kitchen
cleaning and ironing and walk your horrible little embryos who keep
mocking me, to school?
I felt slightly guilty as she went on about it all, to try and convince
me to stay.
A no is a no, so now, could I go, please? I asked. “Go, and never
come back!” she said.
Her husband never said a thing in all this, he stayed out of it, cold
and British, hiding his feelings... I was to learn there are many people
like him around, in the male gender.
It was a scary step out for me; so far, I had been in a protected family
circle, and moved out to go into another family circle. But now, I had
to face real life...
Thanks to some friends I had made in the local town, I was able to
rent a room and somehow managed to find a job; me who had never worked
in my life and had no diploma of any kind, having just left rural France
after passing my Baccalaureat.... What a challenge, particularly as
I could hardly speak English even after 7 years of English specialisation
at school!! (I am not that gifted with languages, as many of you have
said to me about their school French!)
People had trouble understanding me and I could hardly understand them!
I was also quite scared there would be no work available for me, but
fortunately, there was. I managed to avoid working in a dodgy Indian
restaurant in Bagshot where they were going to do me a favour and where
I would be paid £2 an hour as I had no experience. It felt rather
threatening; I had a really bad feeling about the place. Thanks to the
job centre in Camberley, I found decently paid work in a good restaurant
over the Christmas period..
Like many teenagers, I was very unsettled in my teens. Now, 18 and in
England on my own, this feeling got worse. I had this romantic idea
that life was about making friends and being all together, but my new
life created itself otherwise.
It created itself as a life of loneliness. Moving house every few weeks
or few months, not managing to ground myself; going from job to job,
trying to be liked and to be the best I could, but either finding (silent
or imagined) conflict with the work mates or feeling unaccepted and
separated, alienated and unsuitable. I continuously had to move on.
I calculated roughly that I moved in and out of homes about 17 times
in my first 8 years, and in that I didn't count short stays which didn't
work, but did count a squatt I lived in, in London, for a few months.
My family in France knew that well and had a special page at the letter
X in the address book as they couldn't fit me in the family letter any
more, since I was changing address so often!
I am sure it was partly my fault and life was not just dismantled outside
of me; I had never really been one for social contact, other than the
one-to-one contact which felt slightly safer than groups, though I would
usually end up falling out with the other person, often permanently.
I worked in many places; my first job was waitressing in that really
nice family owned, Hungarian restaurant. At first, I worked mainly in
restaurants and bars, as I got more and more experience in it; I then
moved on to fast food chains, hotels, doing silver service in the army
barracks, for Ascot races, for weddings and special events, and if that
work was scarce, I would look into anything.
'Anything' went from door to door canvassing for gas companies or clutter
selling through letter boxes, to cold-calling, phone harassment for
window sellers, working for the Post office, working in various warehouses
and even doing line work in a couple of factories... I also worked in
clothes shops and food shops, juice bars, take-away deliveries driver,
night clubs, more pubs, and once, worked in a retirement home, making
a birthday cake for someone who died just as it was being made.
I did so many jobs in my first 3 years that I can't even remember them
all.
