A couple of weeks ago after the MTV Movie Awards in LA, I was talking to Aziz and he asked me when my NY boyfriend was going to put a ring on it.

It was probably the biggest laugh he got all night.

Some people have too much time on their hands. It's cool, though. A fan made this and I thought I'd share it. Makes me look pretty good! I'm digging the song, too.

In some parts, you can totally see why I always thought I'd make a pretty good erotic dancer.

Baby, wanna hang some fabric panels from my bedroom ceiling???

[ music | The Flobots | Mayday!!! ]

It's not often I sit down and write on this thing. Like, bare my soul or whatever you want to call it. Unlike some people, I don't have time to ramble on about how I think things should be or, you know, the state of the country/world today. Or my sex life, past and present. That's why I like Twitter. Well, it's good and it's bad. I have the immediacy of saying whatever it is I want to say . . . when sometimes, I should probably think twice before saying it.

So NOT the point.

Angie's back in New York. She's the size of the effin' Dora balloon in the Macy's parade. We all had dinner at Tango last night and she was in major pregnant-bitch mode. I couldn't stop laughing. It was just so damn adorable. She has this way of glaring at you that makes it impossible not to crack up. And I was sitting at the table and I realized . . . woah. This is the first time in a long time that we're all living in the same city. It won't last, 'cuz Angie'll pop the kid out and then go back to the black hole that is Seattle, but for the next couple of months? I get to have my whole family around again. And it's the first time we've all been together where I don't feel like the black sheep. Like I don't belong.

I might not be as talented or as smart as my sisters, but I'm still successful. Does it bother me that I'm making my living off of my looks? No. Someone's gotta do it, why shouldn't it be me? In the beginning, I definitely didn't see this whole modeling thing going anywhere. I probably do owe some of it to Angelina for sharing a last name with me and sort of opening a few doors that I probably wouldn't have gotten through otherwise. But even she could only have gotten me so far.

When I was a kid, I thought about being a teacher or an astronaut. Or an Olympian. When I decided not to go to college, I thought about trying to get into the police academy. Or becoming a stripper. I've never really known what I wanted to do with my life. I've never stuck with anything, I'll admit it. So some days, I wake up and wonder if this'll be the day it all ends and I have to figure out what I'm going to do next. Stability isn't my strong point.

But I think surviving is. Despite lacking the sense of direction in my life that all my sisters seemed to have from the second they popped their big-ass heads outta our mom's vajayjay, I've always gotten by. So maybe that's my talent. I can roll with the punches. If things don't work out one place, I'm able to move on without a lot of baggage or stress. Always have been. Is that a good thing? I don't know. It's worked for me, though.

Evan, in his infinite douchebaggery, said something a few weeks ago that made me think. Not because I realized he had a point, 'cuz he so doesn't, but if something happened tomorrow and I couldn't be a model anymore, I'd get over it. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do. I love everything about it. But if I couldn't do it anymore, I wouldn't die. I'd just . . . do something else. As much as I love it, I don't let it define me.

I'm not hot because I'm a model. I'm hot because I was born this way.

Just like you, Evan, aren't a dick just 'cuz you're a politician. It's who you are.

FAT ANGIE'S IN DA HOUSE, w00t w00t!!!

Okay, not yet, but she's flying in on Tuesday for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and . . .

SHE'S STAYING!

No, she didn't finally get fed up with Alexei's lame (but really, really, really nice) ass. She'll be showing her Spring 2010 Collection in the tent on Saturday at 7 PM. Be there or be a total loser.

Anyway. She's roughly the size of a blimp right now and since she's due at the beginning of November, she's still got two more months to get bigger. We figure she needs to stay in New York (since she'll be giving birth here - sister's baby and all, dur) since she probably won't even fit on a plane in another month. It's what they'd planned, though, so Gabi's got her all set up with a private suite in her and Mateo's penthouse. I'm guessing once Angie pops the kid out, they'll give her the boot and turn the room into a nursery. Just my guess though.

I'm so psyched for Fashion Week. Not only do I get a front row seat for my sister's kickass show (seriously - she's always got these rockin' productions), but I'll be getting to show off my KILLA FIERCE walk in not one, but count them, TWO shows. First on Sunday afternoon for the Hervé Léger show and then Wednesday night for the Anna Sui collection. How awesome is that?

Not ONLY that, but VS has coordinated the launch of its newest commercial (featuring yours truly) to coincide with Fashion Week. Which, yeah, technically starts the 10th, but I'm going to give you a sneak preview. Enjoy!

My sister is officially pregnant. She's officially pregnant with my other sister's baby. Kinky, isn't it? Aren't there laws against that? Isn't it, like, incest or something? I'm kidding. I'm really happy for Gabi and Ace. I'm happy, to a lesser extent, for Angie too. I know she wanted to be able to do this for Gabi, but I also know she's the one who'll be suffering through midnight cravings and back aches and swollen ankles and getting fat and then that horrible, awful pain of child birth.

I really shouldn't admit that it kinda makes me laugh to think about all of that, right?

Things have slowed down for me so I'm just enjoying the beginnings of spring in NYC. I was reading over my journal this morning and I realized how much crap I haven't disclosed here. At this point, those things are probably best left forgotten. Only I can't forget them. So. I don't know. Whatev.

I was in a show for Angie during Fashion Week. We both said we'd never work together, but it was an emergency situation. One of her models came down with a serious case of food poisoning the night before and she needed a replacement. It was kinda fun. I don't hate her and we got along fine on short notice, but in general, we've got too much history. Me telling her that her design sucks or her telling me my ass is too fat for her design? Well. That's just it. Neither one of us would censor ourselves the way it's necessary to in a good business relationship. Besides. She always wanted me to make a name for myself based on my own merit and I respect that.

I also finished the shoots for the summer edition of the VS catalog and looking at the preliminary outtakes, it's pretty hot. I was happy with them.

I was thinking about taking a vacation. Away from NY. Not for work. Just to get away and breathe for a couple of days. It depends on Lorenzo and whether or not he thinks he can afford to skip out on work for a week or so.

Sometimes it still catches me off guard to know that I could go anywhere. Anywhere in the world. Three years ago, I'd barely been outside NYC a handful of times and even then, only to Canada or Jersey or upstate New York. Now, if I want to fly to Dubai for the weekend, I could. Not only could I do it, but I wouldn't just be another face in the crowd. That's so weird.

Anyway. He's mine. I told him so.

He says I've been his for a long time now.

[ mood | miserable ]

Access: Hannah

The world slows down, but my heart beats fast right now. I know this is the part where the end starts.


I'm a wreck. It's not even on the same level, but I haven't felt this miserable since Blue's accident.

I don't know if I'm angry or if I'm guilty or if I'm just stupid sad. I hate it.

Everything was fine, you know? Things were getting better. Lorenzo and I worked our shit out and, I don't know, I think I saw a side of him I'd never really seen before. He's deeper than he pretends to be, I know that. I've always known that, 'cuz I don't think I could be as into him as I am if he was just some dumb guy constantly looking for a fight.

He was pretty wonderful on Valentine's Day. He was the first real Valentine I've ever really had. He's not the kind of guy to be romantic or anything. Who the hell knows if his mind even works that way, but he tried. He cooked for me. He even had dessert. He didn't kill my dog. And he was actually . . . kinda . . . sweet. I feel like, by typing that, Hell just froze over.

He looked at me. He said I was beautiful. He also said a few things that were kinda dirty, but, well, it's Lo.

I get this feeling when I'm close to him. Kind of warm and tingly. It's not the same as being turned on. It's just, like, I'm happier being with him than I am when he's not around.

So that's not really something you'd think I'd try to mess up, right?

I didn't try. Dante came over last weekend. We don't hang out as much as we used to, but I said we could make it a movie night. He met Dax. We curled up on the couch together and it was a lot like the way things used to be. It was comfortable.

I don't even really remember how we started arguing, but one thing lead to another and then somehow we were talking about me getting back together with Lorenzo. I knew it wasn't something he'd want to hear. I know he doesn't like Lo.

The next thing I knew, were practically yelling at each other and I was accusing him of walking away from the fight . . . because walking away is what he's good at. I wish I hadn't said that. I don't really blame Dante for the choices he's made. I just don't always understand.

I don't understand the way he looks at me. Sometimes it catches me so off-guard. I don't understand how he can say that he cares about me, that he wants me, but never does anything about it. Did I want too much from him? I know it's too late now. I'm with Lorenzo and I'm happy with Lorenzo. God, fucking, Christ, Jesus. Who the hell would have ever thought I'd say anything like that?!? But it's true. I like being with Lo. I like being with him when we're fighting and I like being with him when we're fucking and I like being with him when we're sitting around and he's giving me that you-know-all-that-talking-is-making-my-ears-bleed kinda look. I know he knows I like him. And he knows I know that I don't annoy him half as much as he says.

But Dante. I just need to know why? Why does he get to be upset that I'm with Lorenzo when he's the one who backed off?

And maybe I need to know how, too. How could he just stand there when I was asking him, practically begging him, to just give me some sign that he feels something, and do nothing?

I know it wasn't right and I feel shitty about it. It wasn't fair to Dante, it wasn't fair to Lorenzo, and it wasn't even fair to me. I'm with Lorenzo. I made my choice. I'm not saying I'm stuck . . . but for right now, I'm where I want to be. Getting into things with Dante all over again would just turn this into some kind of clusterfuck. You know. More than it already is.

But what if he had done something? Would it change the way I feel about the situation?

He didn't. So it doesn't matter.

I kissed him. It wasn't just some kind of friendly kiss or the kind of sentimental kiss I'd imagine you'd give an ex when you still have some lingering feelings. It was hot and intense and a little chaotic. If I hadn't stopped . . . I think it could have gone places.

But I did stop. That's what counts, right?

No. Not even a little. I kissed him and then I was mean. I was cruel. I said hurtful things just so I'd know he'd think back on it later and feel the same stab of pain I felt when he let me go. (Figuratively, not literally.)

It was revenge. It was closure. It was the hammering of the last nail in the coffin of what could-have-been. It's . . . over. Beyond over. I don't even know if we're still friends.

I'm a miserable person.

I get the feeling you're not going to be first in line to sign up for being BFFs. He threw her a look. "Really. What makes you think that?" She said he wasn't perfect and he had to bite his tongue. Yeah, 'not perfect' was a huge understatement. To Dante, Lorenzo was a verbally abusive, brash person who was far too rough around the edges. He wasn't safe. He...he wasn't what she deserved. He knew he was on the outside looking in, but all Dante saw was the beginning of an abusive relationship and it wasn't something he was good at dealing with. "You want me to be honest with you, Eva? I'm upset because I think you're making a mistake getting back together with him and I think you made a mistake getting involved with him in the first place." He fell silent after that, letting the words hang in the air.

So things were evening out for Dante. Slowly, but surely, that 'I'm wandering through my own life without knowing what I'm doing' feeling was fading, replaced with a solid feeling of contentment. Why was that? He didn't know exactly. He suspected it had something to do with either Eva or Bella. Or, maybe not! Maybe it was just that things were going and there had been no upset lately. It was to be determined. He just knew there was a markedly different way in how he felt. On a sudden impulse, Dante had decided he wanted to hang out with Eva and called her up. She suggested a movie night at her place. That worked for him, so he took a quick shower, threw on a pair of jeans and a soft, comfy long-sleeved shirt, pulled on a light jacket, and headed out the door. A while later, he was knocking a few times on her door before waiting for the model to let him in.

Angie and I are leaving Berlin in a few hours. Fashion Week here was amazing. I'd forgotten how much fun Ang can be when she's not all married and junk. (j/k, Buns!)

We have two weeks and then she'll be back in the city for Fashion Week at Bryant Park.

I just said the same basic thing I said in my last journal entry, I know.

In other news, Lorenzo is an asshole. He pissed me off and I told him never to touch me again. Basically. Then my whore of a sister tricked me into seeing him. I don't think it was her idea to lock us up together at the garage. I'm sure that was the brainchild of her boy-toy.

Anyway. We "broke up". If you want to call it that. Now we're back together. If you want to call it that.

I know I'll catch hell from some people about that, but it's my decision. If things were different . . . well, maybe I'd have made a different decision. But they're not. So I don't know! I think, for right now, we understand each other. I'm good with that.

I cracked Rock's computer monitor while we were trapped in the office. It's Lo's fault, really. He's the one who made me throw shit at him. I'll replace it as soon as I'm back in the city, ok? Ok.

I'm doing Fashion Week with my sister, the fashion goddess. I'm in Miami for the rest of this week, but then I'm flying out to meet Angie in Berlin for Jan 28 – Feb 1. Then I’m flying back to New York and she's going back to Seattle, only to come back this way for the Bryant Park rounds Feb 13 – 20. I'm totally psyched to see her line, of course, but other than that, I'm pretty orgasmic to check out the Barbie Runway Show, Miss Sixty, Badgley Mischka, Max Azria, Zac Posen, and – of course – the Project Runway production. YAY HEIDI! Feel the love?!? I know I do.

After all that excitement, Angie's going to get pregnant.

My sister is having my other sister's baby. I feel kind of dirty just saying that.

A week ago, if you’d asked me what I was thankful for, I would have said the usual. You know, good friends, great family, an amazing career that’s in the midst of blowing sky-high. I really thought my next big journal update would be all about how I got punched in the face by one of the two guys in my life. The other one pushed me down. I bruised my ass. Did you know that was possible? Yeah. Exciting.

Instead, none of that matters.

I don’t even want to talk about it, really. Talking about it makes it real. I don’t want it to be real. I don’t want to think about it. I want to pretend it’s all a part of some bad dream and that I’m going to wake up. I’d give up everything that’s happened in the last year if it meant I could open my eyes and be back in that apartment in LA that we shared. I’d burn another bag of popcorn and Blue would come out to laugh at me and then we’d go out for pizza, looking fly the way we always did.

She was supposed to come visit for Christmas. It was going to be the three of us again, Hannah, Blue and me. Just like in LA.

I still have her Christmas present sitting on my living room table. I bought it while I was in Miami. I was going to wrap it. It was going to be the first present I put under my tree. After I got a tree, I mean.

I spent Thanksgiving in Seattle. One day, like, fifty years from now, I’ll look back and be mad at her for that. I hate Seattle. I just can’t leave right now. I don’t know why. It’s like I’m closer to her, as long as I’m here. Angie and Alexei have been letting me crash in their guest room. We all went to Thanksgiving dinner at Lydia’s. The day is a blur for me. I can’t remember who was there, except for Hartwell. It’s hard to miss his big, shaggy head. I just did what I could to stay out of everyone’s way. The last thing people want is someone raining on their Thanksgiving Day parade, right?

I miss her. I missed her before, but now it’s like I’ll never stop missing her.

Hannah says I’m anorexic. I’m not anorexic. I’m on a crash diet. There’s totally a difference. I eat. I love to eat. I’ll eat almost anything.

Just not this week.

I have to be in Miami on Thursday for the taping of the Victoria’s Secret holiday fashion show on the 15th. It won’t air until December so I consider this fair warning to everyone I know. You best be watchin’.

Angelina’s flying down there to see it ‘cuz she’s all up in fashion and junk and that’s the way she rolls. I also invited Nat and Mama and Hannah and Blue and Dante and Lorenzo. Ahem. Anywayz.

Jules can’t go and Rosa wouldn’t go and Gabi’s all . . . I dunno . . . emotional these days. I know she’s got this stuff going on, but. Whatev.

Raquel finally got over the fact that I missed Fashion Rocks. I think it was because I made an appearance at the VMAs. She’s all about publicity. She said the funniest thing the other day. Something like she wanted to set me up on a blind date, but not that in so many words. We were talking about business, actually, and one thing led to another and it’s stupid really. Like I’d go out with some celebrity just ‘cuz he’s a celebrity.

Speaking of wannabe’s – I hear Evan Hartwell is somebody now. I don’t know how important that somebody is, in the big scheme of things, but I guess he’s going to be working to pass laws and crap like that. I say laws are overrated and another bag of hot air who loves the sound of his own voice is just what Washington needs, but congrats anyway, Hartwell. I hope you look good in a suit.

The BEST news is that I finally have my own apartment. Dante helped me find it. Well, Dante FOUND it. It was supposed to go to some basketball player or something (shhh!), but that fell through and I’d asked Dante to keep an eye open for me. You know, since he’s a big-shot sports agent and all he gets info on all the best places around. It’s perfect. It’s in Manhattan, in an upscale area. It’s got two bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and these gorgeous, huge arched windows. It’s spectacular. I haven’t moved any furniture in except for my bed and the flatscreen in my bedroom. I don’t want to clutter the place up. It’s actually a nice-sized apartment and I think it’ll still look spacious enough once everything’s moved in, but for right now? I like sliding across the floors in my socks and not running into things.

Things are finally settling down, I think. Working out. I miss Blue. I miss Jer. Sometimes, I even miss LA. But overall? I like being home. On my own.

I have to run now. Literally. I’m meeting up with Rosa at the gym. She may be a hardass, but she’s a pretty good trainer. Like I said, I have a show one week from tonight. I need to look HOT.

FYI, Hannah and I rocked the VMAs Sunday night. The show sucked, but the after parties were killa. I’ll go ahead and admit it. I’m the one who put the beat down on New York. You know you all wish it coulda been you.

Ok, I didn’t. Hannah and I were on our best behaviors. We didn’t get all dramafied. But Lil Wayne did smack my ass.

I’ve been out of the country for a while. Longer than I was supposed to be and that’s got Raquel flipping out. I missed Fashion Rocks because I stayed an extra couple of days in Italy. Angie was nice enough to let me use their place in Milan. I left it clean, guys. Don’t worry. I didn’t have all the crazy, nasty sex there that you do.

So I missed Fashion Rocks and Raquel’s been blowing up my phone. I’ve been avoiding. I needed a break, you know? I already know what she’s going to say and I don’t want to deal with it right now. Don’t get me wrong. I really like being a model and I like that I’m getting to do more things now and that my face is a little more recognizable . . . and with any luck, with some of these projects I’ve been working on lately, even more famous . . . but I don’t want it to rule my life. I’ve got other things going on too, yo. It’s not all about smiling for the camera.

Anywayz. I was in London for about a week and a half, shooting a . . . wait for it . . . MUSIC VIDEO. No, I’m not starting a singing career. Please. As if. I’m just IN the video. I don’t wanna give up too much info, but let’s just say, it’s super mega hot. I can’t wait for it to hit MTV, even though MTV is all stupid reality shows now. Seriously. Audrina and LC kinda make me wanna shoot myself in the face. (Not really though. I like my face.)

Then I flew to Venice to work on a new Victoria’s Secret ad. It’s pretty sexy too and, get this, also features a rock star. With music.

The commercial isn’t set to air until December, but it also marks another really big development that I can’t talk about so much, but it’s crazy awesome. If you figure it out, don’t tell anyone!!!

I haven’t been home in a little over three weeks or so. By home, I mean Mama’s. I need to talk to Dante to find out if he’s had any luck with his realtor friend. He offered to help me find my own place.

It’s good to know people.



Hannah and Blue Only

Dante and I decided it might be for the best if we didn’t see each other for a while. Actually, that’s not really what happened, but it’s kinda what happened. I guess work turned out to be a useful excuse. It’s just . . . hard . . . being around him. Being together. But not really . . . together. Sometimes, I have to try really hard to stop that urge to kiss him.

I also talked to Lorenzo about the Dante thing. Kind of. He was sort of drugged up on pain pills at the time. I’m hoping he won’t remember. I showed up at his place, but then he’d been in this fight and, I dunno, that’s just who he is. He wasn’t even really that nice when I tried to help him out. He had this huge ass bruise on his ribs and one on his opposite shoulder. It was crazy ugly. I stayed the night with him, but we didn’t do anything. Of course. But we talked about that. And then when I tried to be nice to him the next morning, he got all bitchy when I ordered breakfast instead of trying to cook something and then he got all in my face – but not really IN my face cuz he was all slow and wounded – about why I was there. And. I might have told him I don’t like him. But then I might have pointed out that, duh, I have to at least like him a little bit or I wouldn’t have stuck around and wasted my time.

And then he might have said he was sorry. And he might have kissed me. And it might have made me just a little bit weak in the knees.

I needed to spend some time away from him, too, because I didn’t mean to tell him all that.

Why do these things have to be so complicated?

Ok. So. The real story?

I’m so fucked up in the head. I don’t even know where to start. I don’t know what to think or do or say, cuz everything I do ends up . . . fucked.

I slept with Dante. Back in February. You know that. It was kinda a big deal, what with the whole virginity thing and all. I don’t know. At the time, it all felt perfect. No, we weren’t in some kind of exclusive deal when I left, but aside from that whole make-out session in Lo’s car, it’s not like I was even remotely attracted to anyone else in that way. I’m still not. You know, except for Lorenzo.

We fooled around when he was in LA. But it’s not like anything happened. Yeah, it was sexy in a disturbing kind of way, but he had to go and ruin it and that just pissed me off, even though I guess I should have been thanking him or something. Every time I think I’m done with him, something else happens. I kind of hate it, like I kind of hate him.

I ran into him . . . by accident . . . at his garage. Seriously. It was an accident. Jules was there to see her boy-toy, who just happens to be Lo’s best friend, and she didn’t TELL me where I was meeting her, just told me to meet her at that intersection so we could hop on the subway and hit up some midtown shopping.

It wasn’t anything pretty. I should have thrown a wrench at his head. I would have, if I’d thought of it. We were at each other’s throats and Jules had to pull me out of there. Literally. You know what’s better than throwing a wrench? Throwing a pair of $595 Bruno Frisoni stilettos.

I explicitly told him he wasn’t invited to my party.

Ok, I knew what that was going to do. Bottom line: maybe I wanted him there. There’s something about fighting with Lorenzo that just gets me all hyped up. Even when I’m angry, it’s like . . . a part of me likes it. It’s sick. I’m sick. I can’t help it.

I wasn’t sure he was gonna show. It was late, after midnight, when he did. And when I did see him? My sister (Nat) was, like, all over him. I wanted to pull her hair and tell her to find her own guy. It was . . . weird.

The other weird thing was that once I got him away from my family, he was kind of, I don’t know, nice? He let me drive his car. That was his birthday present to me. I’ve got a thing for fast cars and all the work he’s put into his? I’m not gonna lie. It’s sex on wheels. Like, sleek and smooth and handles just right. And it’s stick. That baby can go.

So, yeah. We left. I drove all the way to the Hamptons. It’s a long story, one I’m not going to go into right now cuz it’s so not the point, but what is the point is that I had sex with Lorenzo. Does that make me a bad person? I kinda feel like it does. Then I feel worse, cuz I don’t regret it. We went swimming in the bay (hey, we had our undies on!) and then one thing led to another and the next thing I knew, BOOM! We were doin’ it in the grass by the shore.

I’d go into how he’s not like Dante, but I don’t wanna get into comparing them. I can’t. They’re both amazing.

We spent the night there and half the next day and I hate to say it, but I didn’t want to leave. We were actually having . . . fun. Getting along. That kind of thing. I mean, seriously. Is that what sex does to people?

My sisters – namely the one who’s a D.A. – had a freaking mad cow. Something about how I can’t go do my own thing without telling anyone. It’s bullshit.

I didn’t see Dante at all while I was in New York that time. When I went back in July and we hung out . . . I felt so . . . guilty. We were on his couch, fooling around, and I couldn’t help myself. I had to tell him. I know. Lots of people would say I’m stupid for opening my big mouth, but I couldn’t just . . . be with him . . . and not say anything. It didn’t feel right. I felt like I’d hurt him more in the long run if I just pretended that nothing had happened with Lo.

Ok. That’s not so much true. I mean, it is. But. I didn’t just tell him I’d been with another guy. I told him the truth. That . . . I have feelings . . . for another guy.

I do. I don’t know what they are, but I know they’re there. I care about both of them, but it’s not the same. I haven’t even seen or talked to Lorenzo since early May – except for this one text message conversation we had when I was drunk – but there are feelings there that I can’t explain. I know he doesn’t feel the same. I don’t think he cares one way or the other, honestly. If I told him I couldn’t see him anymore cuz of another guy, he’d move on without another thought. Hell. He’s probably been fucking a ton of girls since I saw him last. I just . . . can’t do it. I can’t break things off with him. Even if it means losing Dante, in that way.

Which, I have. He was upset the night I told him. I thought it’d be best to give him space, but I could only take it for about a week. We met for coffee and . . . talked. He said he couldn’t do it. That he wouldn’t wait around for me to make a decision. I don’t blame him. I just don’t want to lose his friendship. I have feelings for him – strong feelings – but I told him I’d try to control that.

It’s not like I chose Lorenzo over Dante. Just like I can’t choose Dante over Lorenzo. Maybe it’s for the best this way, I don’t know. I want them both but I can’t have them both and even though I feel like I’m still hurting Dante by wanting Lo, I can’t just stop. Besides. Dante’s the one who backed off and drew the line. Since he doesn’t want to be with me, why shouldn’t I spend time with Lo?

Ugh. It all comes out so wrong. It’s not like I want to be with Lo just cuz Dante dropped me. FUCK!!!!!

I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I saw Lo with Nat and I got so . . . whatever. Dante and I are trying this thing where we hang out and try to make things go back to the way they used to be when we were just friends, but when I saw him dancing with this other chick, it made me mad. And then I got all up in her face and I’d like to say it’s cuz I’d had one (or three) shots too many, but I don’t know.

I don’t know anything.

Except I’m gonna die old and alone cuz I can’t figure out what the hell I want.

So, I haven’t forgotten about this journal, I just haven’t had much time to write in it. I mean, I know what’s going on in my life, so there’s not that much of a point to writing it here, except to keep all you fanatics up to date on the life and times of moi. (See. That’s French. Cuz I’ve been to Paris, yo.)

I haven’t really updated this thing since April and even then, it wasn’t like a real entry, so I guess I haven’t updated anyone about anything since, oh, like, March? Maybe.

I spent most of April in LA. I spent the beginning of May in New York. Why? Cuz I had some down time and Gabi decided to throw a huge birthday party for, like, everyone. We had it at Tango and it was insane. Like, everyone I’ve ever met in my entire life (who lives in New York and was actually in town) was there. Crazy nuts. It got all drama-fied the next day when Rosa went loco chicken on my ass for skipping out on the end of the party.

I didn’t get to stay in town for Mother’s Day. I had a shoot in the Seychelles. Can I even tell you how gorgeous it was? Well, I could. But the pictures show it better. You might have seen them in the latest catalog, but if you didn’t, I’ll be kind enough to post them later. Love me.

For June, I headed back to LA and then made a quick stop in Seattle . . . seriously quick . . . practically a day trip . . . but sometimes you just have to take a step back from everything going on in your life and drop in unannounced on your sister and brother-in-law and make them wait on you hand and foot and except for when she kicked me out, I’m pretty sure Angie secretly enjoyed having me visit.

She made me a new dress. I wore it to the premier of The Dark Knight in New York. That’s right, suckas. Guess who got to go? ME!

I took Nat with me, but only cuz she’s obsessed with Christian Bale. It’s not healthy. We’re talkin’ restraining order level of messy.

I was in New York for a while in July, actually. From the 3rd to the 20th. I flew back to LA to pack. Why? Cuz I decided I wanted to move back home. As in, to New York. Not, like, with my mom. (But that’s the plan until I can find my own place. Dante’s helping with that.) Plus, Raquel said it would be better for me to be in NY, at least for right now.

I officially moved . . . last weekend. Yep. I’m a New Yorker again. It’s pretty damn sweet. I miss LA a little. I miss Hannah and her mini-me. (She did not, in fact, have a baby snow leopard. I was totally bummed for a whole day.) I even miss Jer. Whose gun am I gonna get to play with now?

So let’s recap:

1. Eva got mad gifts in May, like 2 weeks after the fact. (My birthday, dummy.)
2. Eva took her clothes off in the islands and it was hot.
3. Eva rocked Batman.
4. Eva’s sleeping on her Mama’s couch until she can find a place to live. (Ok, not really, I have my own bedroom.)

That’s about it.
