I discovered Alizée a couple of weeks after my 17th birthday in January of 2009. Psych had been out for some time and that era was nearing its end. After learning all about the MF/LB era I took some time to explore the Psych material.
I remember watching the music video for the Rolf Honey Remix of Fifty Sixty and dreaming about what my life would be like in my 20's. I loved the custom LILLY TOWN sneakers that Julien wears, and how he gets up in the middle of the night and decides to walk around the city, go to a dance club, and walk some more late into the night. I couldn't wait for my life to be like that, to just be free to do whatever whenever.
At the time, I had started staying up late on school nights, absorbing all the
Alizée the internet had to offer, and hoping my dad wouldn't turn off the wifi to keep me from doing just that. After finding AAm and later joining it, I spent even more time reading my way through tons of threads, to learn about members here and their fan experiences, making friends in the Bar & Grill and later in the Chatbox.
My 20's are a lot different than what I was hoping for or expecting. I don't live in Paris and I don't go dancing in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. But at least I am still thinking about those LILLY TOWN sneakers and listening to Alizée. And now that I live on my own and have a car, I can go to 7 Eleven and get slurpees in the middle of the night
