My Name: Louise Marie Pavid

My Apelido: “Nut cracker” – don’t ask

That STUPID “Friday” song by Rebecca Black!

Do you have any super powers?

Of course! Duh I do Capoeira (which is a super power) and I’m rabid remember?

If you were a light bulb, how many people would it take to change you?

None, because I’d be a self regenerating light bulb that never goes out (I don’t need electricity to shine either… It’s all natural) also I’m the brightest light bulb EVER!;)

What are your favourite sayings?

“Looking for something crazy, beautiful, nothing, now I’m talking in circles again” – Lady Gaga

“I am lightning, I am fire! I am excitement and danger, I am passion and the colour red… I’m definitely not what you need, but I’m exactly what you want! After all temptation is only inches away from satisfaction.” – I said that☺

“Life’s a party, sleep when you’re dead!” – Don’t know who said that [we are sure that this phrase was actually coined by one of CDC's own, Bate Palmas. If not, he certainly lived by it...]

“Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk… That’ll teach you shut your mouth!” – Ernest Hemmingway
