Historical Figure Chosen: he is more than my favourite historical figure. Louis Antoine Saint-Just (Decize 25/08/1767 - Paris 28/07/1794) is my love !

Here is 7 weird things about him:

1) When he was a child he set fire to his school *delighted*

2) He was still 17 when he became a mason. It is said masonry helped his amazingly quick career - you understand: it is likely it did !

3) When he was 19 he stole anything precious he could find home (silver etc.) and sold it to an Hebrew in Paris XD
His mother found him out and he excused himself saying that all this money was necessary to pay the doctor's fee 'cos he got an illness due to overwork XD XD
His mother had him promptly arrested

4) When he tried to be elected for the first time in his circoscription he failed because his ex-girlfriend's father - a notable of that little town - knew he wasn't old enough to be elected and he opposed to his canditature. This man was quite angry with the boy because he stole the virginity of his so much honoured daughter *blah*

5) During the Terror (in 1794), he broke the engagement with his current girlfriend, Henriette Le Bas, with the excuse she smoked too much *ROTFL*

6) He was refused by the noble Saint-Amaranthe, who kept many lovers but didn't want him - the poor girl was soon accused of conspiracy against the Republic and executed

7) In the Republic of his dreams (one of his works is dedicated to its description) young males wouldn't be allowed to eat meat-> oh, vegetarianism begins with him *laugh*


Ps.: I can't tag anyone because I don't know how to do it - sorry to break your chain
