SOME PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS SO THEY HAVE A BLOG OR SOMETIMES THEY PRETEND TO BE AUDREY TAUTOU.

It's no secret that I have a crush on Audrey Tautou. It is as clear as the fog is not. In fact, I'm very vocal about it on this very website. The place that you are on right this very second.

But the other day, I received a very unusual email from someone who hides behind the anonymity of the internet, claiming that he or she is Audrey Tautou.

This was "her" first email:

"This is your dream woman writing you, I am sorry it has taken so long to let you know that I love reading about you on your website. I never thought that my true romantic revelations would become a reality. At least you have me on film until we should reunite as soulmates yet I am left without anything tangible of you in order to enjoy. I count the days until we meet and then we can be pensive together whilst looking at the stars. je t'embrasse tres fort et j'attends avec les pensees de toi.
Ton Amelie...."

The last sentence is in French (I'm not even sure if it makes sense) to give it the air of authenticity. While I didn't believe this was Audrey Tautou, I was nevertheless curious. Which one of my friends would pretend and even create an email account solely for the use of pranking me as a beautiful young French actress. An email from Soleil Moon-Frye would have been more credible.

This person then attempted to contact me via Instant Messenger. I asked her which one of my friends it was and no response. It appears this Audrey is not very tech-savvy--she can send a message but not respond to them.

But then after the weekend, I recieved this email:

"Allo, sorry about not responding before on aol. my computer is really
bad (ps. I hate computers) It died on me.
lets just say I keeping who I am from you for a reason, I know who you are
and we have never met. I am a female who resides currently in the eastern
part of france maybe we will talk soon by way of computer.
do you utilise msn at all?
-Madame Mysterie...."

Interestingly enough, both emails were sent from different accounts. This person should be working for Al Quaeda, considering "her" elusiveness and secrecy.

Sigh. I can't afford to waste my time on another cyber-prank (next time you see me, ask me about the time i IMed "Meg Ryan")
On the other hand, though, I don't have much else to do.
