Harry Winston

Wow I feel slightly dumb. I realized after I posted that last post that the name Harry Winston seemed very familiar. I googled it and realized that it's the name of a jewellery company. I KNEW the name was familiar. I just couldn't figure it out. Well then.

Kicking and Screaming

So today was a pretty relaxing day. I woke up around 9 and read the new Lauren Weisberger book for an hour. In case you don't know, she's the author of The Devil Wears Prada. Her latest novel is called Chasing Harry Winston. I'm about 50 pages in and so far there is no Harry Winston. So I'm wondering when or if he will appear.

After that, I went to the airport to drop off my dad. He's going back to New York after visiting LA for a week. He didn't stay with me, even though I asked him many times. He didn't say so but I think he feels awkward staying over because there's the chance that Adrian would stay over as well. As if I would let my boyfriend sleep over while my dad's visiting! So he stayed at the Beverly Hills Hotel instead. He's stayed there often even though we have a perfectly good house here that my grandfather (his father) built in Bel Air about 50 years ago. Every 10 years or so it gets a major facelift.

I had a soccer game tonight and am proud to say that we won 3-1. Unfortunately, I still hate the new coach. He definitely has no clue what he's doing. He didn't even have a line up prepared nor had he done research on the opposing team. He still refuses to let players play their positions, choosing instead to place people where he thinks they should go. He put my cousin in net today and she hates that more than anything. He refused to let another girl play forward even though she scored about 25 goals with out team last year. He also refused to put me on defence, a position I've been playing since I was 9. Sure I've play midfield the odd time in the past but I haven't played defence once this season. Part of me wants to just quit the team in protest but I love playing too much. And I've always enjoyed midfield. I just know I make a better defenceman.

So after the game, I picked up Subway. There's a cute guy that is always working on my game nights there and sometimes he gives me a free cookie. I wasn't particularly in the mood for Subway but I was in the mood for some harmless flirting. And sure enough, I was rewarded with a free chocolate chip cookie. :D

Liar, Liar

I had never thought about how difficult it is to write a book. It's as hard as school is! Luckily it's much more fun. I think I mentioned before how I sometimes think I might be a pathological liar. I think in reality it's my love for story-telling that tempts me to lie. I just love telling stories and having people believe them. For me, that's the greatest reward. Just having people read my stories would be enough. Of course, becoming a New York Times Best-selling author wouldn't be so bad either.

I ran into Spirit today. It was so good to talk to him. He's doing well and is seeing someone new. Can't remember her name though. Sable or something like that. It's nice to see him happy. He really deserves that. I also ran into Will. He hasn't talked to Sarah in about a month. He didn't seem too upset about it though which is good. That's the thing about Will; ever since his fiancee passed away a few years ago he doesn't let himself get involved enough to get hurt. Sometimes I think that maybe I should be like that. But I'm younger than Will and I want to feel that. The love that's so good that it hurts. I don't think I've found that yet.

I also ran in to Mike. Yes that Mike who left and went to his hometown. He's doing good and still turns me on like nobody's business. I haven't the faintest clue why that is. He just has some quality about him that turns me on so much. Just while we're talking about something completely normal, like the weather, he has the ability to make me so goddamn...ugh. You know what I mean. We didn't get the chance to do anything tonight but I'm fairly certain it won't be too long until we do.

Wow that's three posts today. Well I suppose it's now tomorrow. I guess in some way I'm trying to make up for lost time. It's so good to get things out again. I missed blogging.

Just Write

I'm currently working on my book and I'm struggling with the names of my characters. I've enlisted Kyle to help but he's frustrating me more than helping. This is me taking a break from my book because I'm a little stuck. I always thought writer's block was a ficticious disease. Lately I've become infected.

Back to the Future

Hello again. I'm back. Hopefully for good. I suppose I better start on catching up on everything's that's happened since I last blogged.

Well last time I checked in Kong and I were on the friends borderline. He has a girlfriend now who is very nice and a hard partier. Her name is Bianca. A couple of times I went out with them with Sam, who I went out with a few times. That was a disaster before it even started. I suppose I will have to address that eventually but maybe at a later time.

I haven't spoken to either Kong or Bianca in about a month; my absence from blogging coincided with my absence from SL. I miss all my friends there but I don't think it's likely I'm going back. Not back the way it used to be anyway. I miss Spirit. His wife divorced him and I hate that I wasn't there to support him the way I should have been. He was like a big brother to me and got me through all the tough situations with Sam.

I'm continuing my book. I've been thinking about using Aruzia Melnik as my pseudonym. Only my blog-readers and my SL friends will ever know it's me. And even then they don't really know who "me" is. I've been very careful to avoid that. Each of my friends in SL know different parts of my life. All the rest I've told them has been a lie. Sometimes I think I might be a pathological liar. Anyway, the only way any of them would be able to figure out who I am or where I live or how old I am would be if each and everyone of my friends were to get together and discuss the different aspects of my life as I've told it to them. I don't think any of them read my blog anymore since I've been absent for so long they must have thought that I've abandoned both blogging, SL and the name Aruzia Melnik. It's a long, complicated story and I really don't want to get into it.

So, now for the present. I saw Sex and the City with Breanne on Sunday. The movie was alright but the company was dismal. I don't think I'll be going out with her again anytime soon. She's just not a lot of fun to hang out with. She doesn't talk, doesn't joke. She just sort of sits there. So only if I have to will we ever hang out. Or maybe once in a while. And not for a long while yet.

Kathryn's birthday was on Monday and on Saturday we went out to celebrate. It was a little premature but she works so much that it's hard to squeeze in time with her. We went to a fancy restaurant and got all dressed up. After that we came over to my place and watched Superbad again. We've gotten into the habit of calling each other McLovin again.

I gotta run to go get my little brother but I'll be back soon. Hopefully.
