Les amis, j’ai le plaisir de vous annoncer que Rien ne nous survivra a remporté le prix Imaginales des lycéens :) Je suis rentrée du festival ce matin, avec un bouquet de fleurs énorme, une coupe en cristal suffisamment massive pour assommer un âne (aucun âne n’a été blessé afin de vérifier cette assertion, mais va pas falloir me chercher dorénavant, je suis armée), et surtout, un livre d’or reeeempli de messages.

Je suis évidemment super contente. Écrire un roman sur l’adolescence, et être récompensée justement par des adolescents, c’est la classe. Mon livre a gagné à une voix près contre le Sang des Lions, qui s’attaquait de son côté aux conflits Nord-Sud. On ne pourra pas dire que les lycées ont choisi la facilité, les licornes et les pâquerettes. Ceux qui m’ont soutenue l’ont fait avec et contre leurs camarades de classe, leurs profs et leurs parents.

Honnêtement, je pensais que ça ne passerait jamais : trop politiquement engagé, trop sombre, trop ingérable pour les professeurs. En plus, il suffit de faire un tour sur Google pour constater à quel point les avis sont tranchés. Côté critiques négatives, je m’en suis pris plein la tête. Comme prévu :) Et en même temps, ça reste mon texte préféré, de loin le plus sincère. Pour un sujet aussi personnel, je préfère avoir 10% de lecteurs à qui je retourne le cerveau, et 90% qui décrochent, qu’un ventre mou.

J’ai eu la chance de pouvoir parler à ceux qui ont défendu le livre. Leur énergie m’a reboostée pour les six prochains mois, alors justement que côté romans, j’étais démotivée. C’était la première fois que j’avais l’occasion de parler de mon travail, d’expliquer à quel point j’ai besoin de mes psychopathes de relecteurs, de dire pourquoi on passe six mois comme une autiste devant son ordinateur au lieu de gagner beaucoup plus d’argent comme serveuse au MacDo.

La question du sexe s’est logiquement posée (pour ceux qui débarquent sur ce blog : Rien ne nous survivra met en scène un personnage principal qui n’est jamais identifié comme homme ou femme, qui a donc des rapports amoureux qui peuvent être hétéro ou homosexuels). J’ai pu expliquer qu’on s’en fout, que les gens sont des gens, que l’amour ne se réduit pas à des catégories, que la liberté s’acquiert autant en construisant son identité qu’en la déconstruisant. Avec le plaisir d’entendre l’approbation des enseignantes à côté de moi.

Et donc, en plein milieu du livre d’or qui m’a été offert (et avec lequel je compte dormir jusqu’à la fin de mes jours, quitte à le coudre dans le matelas), je tombe sur la phrase suivante : “Une question ne cesse de revenir : est-ce réellement une femme qui a écrit cette apologie de la violence ?”

C’est le moment où tu as envie de sortir quelque chose comme : “Non, évidemment, les passages violents, soit 99% du bouquin, ont été écrits par un nègre pendant que je faisais de la broderie.” Je pensais que depuis Chun Li, Kill Bill et Tank Girl, sans parler d’Abu Ghraib, on était tous d’accord pour concevoir que l’utérus n’est pas un organe qui te saute au visage quand tu as une pensée violente. Mais apparemment, non. C’est d’autant plus fun que dans les littératures de l’imaginaire, les femmes sont ultraprésentes (Harry Potter et Twilight, au hasard), et volontiers ultraviolentes (salut à toi, Poppy Z. Brite).

Bon, évidemment, la remarque est gentiment naïve : je la prends comme un encouragement, pas comme un affront. Mais rien ne pourra m’empêcher de tomber de ma chaise à chaque fois qu’on s’étonnera de mon amour des fusils à pompe. C’est ma naïveté à moi.

Enfin bref. Puisque les lycéens n’ont pas mis longtemps avant de trouver Sexactu (pas fous les petits jeunes) : merci d’avoir eu les couilles de me défendre. Ceci vaut aussi pour les couilles des filles :)

-> Pour fêter ça, hop, un lien vers du Twilight gay (NSFW -18) et la chanson que j’écoutais en boucle en écrivant le livre.
-> Rien ne nous survivra sur Amazon.

I love when I get questions from all of you. I actually want to get as many questions as possible from you. I’m writing blogs every single day. I write four blogs a day, so if you want I can keep answering questions in the blog. I mean, this is what makes my job a lot of fun.

I received an email from a woman who wanted to know how to get a guy to chase her. Chase – interesting.

I hate chasing women. I always hated chasing women. I thought it was such a waste of time. I really did. Either a woman is interested or she isn’t.

Even in college, women wanted me to chase. I got bored really quickly.

Granted, I’d ask her out. We’d hang out. We’d have a good time. I’d call her back. She would call me back. We’d get together again. We wouldn’t sleep together for a little while. You know, I’ve got to earn it (or build the trust). Whatever.

That, to me, is the version of chasing that I enjoy. It’s like a tennis game. It’s a volley. I like you. You like me. I call you. You call me back.

What I don’t like, and I disagree with, is the whole “I call you and you don’t call me back for three days” thing. A lot of women thing that by playing hard to get, that a man is going to want them more.

In reality, though, the only kind of guy who likes a woman who plays hard to get is the one who only is interested in sleeping with you. It’s a conquest for him.

I know in my 20s — in my “hound dog” stage of my life — that I loved when women played hard to get and would ignore me. I really did. It was fun when they ignored me.

I’d run into them a month later and say, “Man, are we ever going to hook up and go out?” I would just play the game right along with them.

After a while, I found the game to be such a waste of time. There are so many great people out there who don’t want to play games.

I think the majority of people don’t want to play games. So if you want a guy to chase you — if you want to play games — then you’re really just wasting your time.

The best thing to do is hand a guy your phone number and say, “Give me a call.” If he doesn’t call you, then your reaction should be “next!’

The best thing to do when a guy calls you to go out on a date, is call him back within 24 hours. Call him once. Don’t call a guy six times.

Call each other once. If the other person doesn’t call you back, then move on.

Really, stop playing all the games. Games are boring.

If you want to play a game, go play softball or tennis. Games are such a waste of time.

Or donc, il y a des fétichistes qui sont prêts à payer pour le plaisir de payer. On appelle ça le money slavering : je vous recommande cette jolie définition, cette galerie d’images, cette vidéo sans pitié (parmi des tonnes d’autres, hein), cette charmante discussion dans un forum spécialisé (histoire de voir s’il n’est pas plus intéressant de directement soumettre… son propre conjoint), et si vous cherchez des exemples d’annonces, il vous suffira de trois secondes sur Google pour trouver votre bonheur.

Evidemment, on est là dans une zone particulièrement trouble du droit. Qu’on ne peut pas qualifier d’arnaque puisque payer pour presque rien fait partie du jeu. Lu sur un site français, faute comprise : Ce que JE veut, Dieu le veut ! C’est sûr que ça pose une relation :)

Bon, je vous laisse, il faut que je demande au boyfriend pourquoi il insiste toujours pour tout payer. J’ai peut-être un money slave sans le savoir : avouez que ça demande une petite investigation.

(Tout ça me donne une idée formidable. Je vais ouvrir une partie payante sur Sexactu, sur laquelle je ne mettrai aucun article. Ouaips. Je crois que je tiens un concept, là.)

Do you know what’s funny about relationships? Let’s talk about something no one seems to want to talk about when it comes to relationships.

When you have a new relationship, you’re just in la-la land. I mean, it is the greatest feeling in the entire world.

You want to tell the entire world how much in love you are. You want to tell everybody you can find that you’re in love. You even tell your friends that this is the greatest person you’ve ever met, and that you’ve never before met anybody like this person.

Everything is perfect in the beginning. You can’t believe that you’ve finally met someone that perfect.

Then, all of a sudden, you have a little problem in the relationship and a crack develops. People ask you how things are with your relationship, and start saying that it’s “okay” or “fine.”

A couple of months later, you have a few more cracks in the relationship. At this point, when friends ask you how your relationship is going, you say “Man, let me tell you how my relationship is. This person became human, and I’m not happy about it.”

At this point, all the petals are off the rose. The other person has actually become who they really are, and you’re finally seeing it for the very first time.

I’m not writing this because I’m anti-love, and you all know I’m full of love. I’m telling you this because this is what happens in a relationship.

Over time you start to see the real person, and you start to think to yourself “Can I be involved with the real person? Is the real person the same person with whom I fell in love or are they entirely different?”

It does happen. People do change over a period of time. Sometimes people don’t grow with you and don’t understand you.

I can tell you when a relationship really hits the skids. You know your relationship has really hit the skids when someone asks you how your relationship is going, and not only do you offer up everything but you also start making fun of the other person.

When you start complaining to anyone and everyone about your relationship, it means that you no longer trust the relationship. Your sacred space is broken and that relationship is on the down swing.

You decide that this is the time you are done with the other person. This other person is no longer that beautiful person you fell in love with at the beginning.

This is now the person who is driving you “up the wall” crazy, and making you feel sick to your stomach every single day. Maybe I’m getting a little ahead of myself. Maybe we’re not all feeling sick to our stomachs, but you get the gist.

Relationships have a cycle, so don’t air your dirty laundry all over the place. Realize that relationships ebb and flow.

A really bad warning sign, though, is when you start talking to strangers and telling them that you’re not happy. I see this all the time, because people send me emails like this about their relationships.

When I see emails like this, I say to myself that these people don’t need my help. They need to figure out whether they want to be in their relationship anymore.
Everyone is looking for that one answer to fix a troubled relationship, but th real answer lies within.

People have such warped images of what people should look like.

What you’re about to watch is a woman who’s very cute on her own, but goes through Photoshop and the end result you see is what turns men into crazed perfection seeking horn dogs and women into insecure fearful human beings.

Most Men believe that they should be dating the type of women that they see in this type of video. Even men in bad shape only see themselves dating the hot sexy toned women. Their version of perfection is based on the air brushed women they see on tv and in magazines.

And lets not mention a mans view about sex is based on crazy porno sex. Sex that really does not exist nor turn on the average woman.

Women, on the other hand, feel really pressured to look great, because they are always looking at themselves under a microscope.

Women are super critical of themselves more than any man could ever be.

Check this out it shows you the distortions of the way things are and the way people think things should be.

Women after the watching the video how do you feel about the way life and beauty is distorted?

Depuis quelques années émerge un phénomène surprenant : « plus que la gonzesse, tu aimeras la caisse ». Sous des atours de mordus des beaux moteurs, ils s’appellent fétichistes du revving, cranking ou du pedal pumping. Les plus extrêmes sont les mécaphiles et se revendiquent de “l’objectùm-sexualité. Ils se sont détournés de la chair pour s’exciter de la seule mécanique.

Le blog chasseur d’étrange, chez Slate, déchire tout. Allez lire le passionnant article sur les voiturophiles !

(Et puisqu’on est dans la joie des tendances bizarres, je vous annonce la sortie prochaine du premier film porno consacré au bling-bling pubien (nsfw))

This week has been a crazy week at home, lots of couch time as my balky back has decided to torture me for the last few days.

When you have to rest you might as well channel surf and see what is on in the world of reality TV. Have any of you been watching the Biggest Loser on TV?

This story is amazing and it really shows that if you put your mind to something then you can achieve amazing results.

Starting the season at a whopping 526 pounds, Michael Ventrella was the heaviest contestant in “The Biggest Loser” history. By the finale, he had lost 50.19 percent of his body weight, a total of 264 pounds, shattering Danny Cahill’s record of 239 pounds from last year. Weighing in at just 262 pounds on Tuesday night, Ventrella easily beat fellow finalists Ashely Johnston and Daris George for the $250,000 grand prize.

Now before you check out this amazing man and how he did it in the video below. I want you for a minute to write down what is stopping you from your dreams and why you are not going after all that you deserve.

Whether its meeting the opposite sex or going after a career that you desire, what is really stopping you?

What excuses are in your head right now and why are you letting the excuses get the best of you?

This is an amazing story of will and desire!
I challenge all of you to look deep inside and find the strength to be everything you want and deserve to be!
