I'm new at Live-journal, I'm interested in the french revolution since I was eleven and I have been watching this community for a time. My love for the french revolution started when I became fascinated with Antoine Léon Florelle de Saint-Just (such a bad boy, bringing fan-girls to the Jacobin's Club XD).

I think I should say I'm from Spain, so English is not my main language, I hope I can make myself understandable :D

Salut, citoyenne!
I think I am in love with your Livejournal interests. Asexuality! Bisexuality! Nietzsche and "Danton's Death"*! "Faust"! Numerous revolutionaries! You evidently have the best taste in just about everything.

*They make such a good combination - Büchner's Saint-Just is so Nietzschean. That is, with a whole lot of Raskolnikov thrown in (which is all the more impressive considering "Danton's Death" came out decades before either).

Bienvenida, aquí otra fan española de los jacobinos. (Me encanta Louis-Antoine, pero soy más fan aún de Maximilien).

I haven't been here in quite some time, but welcome! I am able to read Spanish so I'll have to take a look at your journal!

I first became interested in the French Rev as a teenager reading the Loomis book _Paris in the Terror_. It's biased, but written in a dramatic and engaging style. Or at least that is my memory of it...since it's been a long time since I've read it. I found myself enjoying the "bad guys" more than the "good guys".
