Today, i met my boyfriend's mom. It was traumatic. I was shaking, i was mortified. So many questions in my poor slow head: what if im stupid? What if i talk about his penis? What if i say he's really better looking naked? What if she thinks im not good enough for him?

???

I did ok. Im pretty proud of myself. Thats rare to have this feeling. But it was important for me, for him, for us that i do good. Because he's a really good person, im serious, he's amazaing and talented and beautifull but the most important thing is that he is a nice, polite, funny, has a good heart...and i respect him so much... and because i respect him i wanted him to be proud of me and not be let down in this.

I didnt want to fuck up. And i dont think i did. So now i can breathe a little more, and im content. He has an amazing mom. And she's so good looking and so young in spirit. My mom is really a mix of an old english lady and a young snob parisian woman. So her clothes are always very classic and...yeah sometimes a little bit cheesy. But his mom....SHE HAS THIS SUPER CUTE COAT AND BAG AND RING!!! And she's so sweet and nice, i kinda wanted to eat her.

Also, her bf is this really hot forty something guy. And he's nice too.

What a pretty family, i kept thinking.

I cannot help to love nice people. Niceness in our society is not too common.

So yeah, now i know for sure that my boyfriend's DNA is 100% greater than yours.

Audrey's Best of 2007

Books:

• Diana Arbus, A biography by Patricia Bosworth

Absolutly this years best book in my head. Ive underline pretty much every words in this book. Lovely, interesting, hearbreaking. Ive read it while my mother was hospitalized. The worst moment of 2007 and where i ended up wanting to kill myself. But this book, although maybe digged my grave deeper, helped my find beauty in life. Because its that good.

• We need to talk about Kevin by Lionel Shiver

The narrative is pitchfuckingperfect. Lionel Shiver seems to a woman with the balls the size of China. I didnt read this book, i ate it. In the fictional category- its the number 1.

• Marie Antoinette by Antonia Fraser

«But im not a feminist» said Courtney Love which is exactly what i need to say before beginning to talk about this biography of Marie Antoinette. A spoiled, rich young girl but a new icon for me.

• Into thin air by Jon Krakauer

A true story. A must read. This story is bigger than reality.

• Froidure by Kate Mosses

The fictional last days of Sylvia Platt. A must read. So gorgeous.

• Pensées, provocs et autre volontés by Serge Gainsbourg

A rude, ugly and alchoolic man Serge Gainsbourg slept with gorgeous women. Why? Well its all in the book- HE WAS FUCKING AMAZING. He also produced one of the lovelist women alive, his daughter Charlotte.

• Reunion by Alan Lightman

A book my boyfriend passed me. Because it was so beautifull, i then bought it. A love story. Maybe the only true one i read in a book this year. Makes you want to have sex and be young.

• Into the wild by Job Krakauer

Another true story. A young man gives his 20 000$ saving, leaves his family behind and then to be finally found dead alone in the Alaska wildness. Stupid, sad, amazing. You can hear the sound of the air when you read it.

Im updating because:

Theres still people reading this blog, i dont know why...you crazy people?!
and because
It's been awhile.

So im reading: Atonement
It's good and awesome and lovely and scary.

What im doing: Trying to survive finals. Trying to enjoy life while finals. Trying not be be completly sucked out of life whiles finals. Trying to be confident in the future- while having these panic attacks BECAUSE OF FINALS.

Thinking: Moving to Utah. Im sure they need a french, a canadian (in one person-which is me) almost sane or insane (depends of the point of view) lazy but friendly girl. Why? Because its so far away from what ive lived in a urban city that RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS APPEALING. Even if theres mormons.

What's my mental health: For the first time in years, i can actually remember what happened to me in the last couple of months, I can remember smells, images, people, situations, conversations. For years, my life has been about living and forgetting it the next day. Right now, i can remember how i walked from UQAM to Concordia...first with the warm but chilly at the same time september weather, then the chilly but oh so goodlooking fall air, then the snow...i remember!!! I remember seasons!

I must be living then...? Right right

And yes im still jealous of the skinny ones, pretty ones, easy breathy people, the super smart, the super rich. Im a walking jealous machine. But im a nice jealous. I more in awe of them then anythign else. Because theyre like shining toys to me. And at the end, ive never really been into toys.

But let's stop with the nonsense...

JAMIE-LYNN SPEARS IS PREGNANT.!!!! Britney's 16 years old sister is pregnant.

NEWS OF DECEMBER FER SURE.

Oh the tears that you weep

for the poor tortured souls

who fall at your feet

with their love begging bowl

sall the clerks and the tailorsthe

sharks and the sailors

all good at their trades

but they'll always be failures

Alms for the poor

for the wretched disciples

and the love that they swore

with their hearts on the Bible

be seeching the honour

to sit at your table

and feast on your holiness

as long as they're able

Love needs its martyrs

needs its sacrifices

they live for your beauty

and pay for their vices

love will be the death of

my lonely soul brothers

but their spirit shall live on in

the hearts of all lovers

I FUCKING HATE TECHNOLOGY SOMETIMES
