making the love

so i've been in london now for almost a week i suppose. well, i think today is thurs. right? so that means tomorrow is friday and i landed on friday sio yes almost a week. anyway so much to report. i'm right now in cambridge, came here for the afternoon and got a booking at a hostel. theyr';e not for young peeps anymore. or at least this is what il ike to think. i walked around this evening and stopped ina burger place and got a free glass of wine as they moved me around tables a few times and felt bad, ah such is the life of a single person.

so on saturday ir an the gorilla run, went to the after party that night where i met sam, the hottie director of fundraising for them. we flirted and while on the dance floor he tokld me he wished he coudl show me around london but he was leaving on wed. for his best mates wedding. of course this didn't stop me from pursuing hi. he asked me out to lunch on monday but it turned into drinks as i had a few meetings and we TOTALLY made out. he's blonde and 6'4. OMG hot hot hot. i had emailed him a few times before coming to london since i diodn't want my gorilla suit shipped there. so he knew of me. the girls from teho ffice there saw me wadnering around th party alone and told me to drink with them. i was in with the group. we partied and danced to 2 am they couldn't believe i was 29!! gasp. they were 22. we then walked to SE1 a part of london, turns out nothing going ont here, but walking over the london bridge at 3 am was intteresting. we then got a cab to leister square and i had now completely confused my jeet lag body. at 430am i bailed and sam (the boy) got me a pedi cab as he didn't want a cab taking me since theyr'e all dodgy and not licensed (no black cabs to be found) so i took a pedi cab back to mty place at 430am, it was freezing, over the london bridge we went, hilarious.

sunday i met up with some friends of friends who just graduated from columbia business school, they were cool had drinks with them anc then we headed to a restuarant for dinner. I've eaten like 4 times since ive been here so i skipped the meal but drank, i've been doing A LOT OF THAT.

met up with sam monday evening and made out. told u that already. then tues i went to skaespeare globe and saw merchant of venice and wasn't a big fan, then also checked out big ben and westminster abbey. v, cool. met up with sam that night and we listened to jazz and then one thing led to another and he came home with me. please, hes 6'4 and british, it was a no brainer. he's freaking the hottest guy i've hooked up with. duh. i out did myself.

wed. we got up and got some b'fast he headed home, no idea if i'll ever see him again, but he asked me to be his facebook friend, what does that mean? hilar!

wed. i had 3 meeetings with various tv production companies, one a the shoreditch house, which is the same as the soho house but in shoreditch. london has a ton of these private clubs all around the city. i love it here. love love love.

today i met up with nicole who was in the gang i met on sunday and we went to lunch at covent gardens and then st. pauls cathedral. amazxing. headed up to cambridge where i now sit. tomoro early i'm going to norfolk to check out a market town in the coutnry and then back to london to hear RICKY FUCKING GERVAIS!!! he's doing standup and i got free tickets through one of these tv peeps i met yester!! tomorrow night i'm staying in swiss cottage, fancy and then sat. i'm meeting up with paula from la and staying at her hotel, she's here on business, i leave sunday!! so freakin sad as i have to start writing the script of my mtv show immediately upon returning to l.a.

so i made it to london. yesterday i landed and got to my pad, it's in a sweet neighborhood at the bottom of tower bridge. Great places to walk around and it's right on the river and the tower bridge at night is quite a sight. \i got a beer at this bar on the rivers edge and just sat and checked out the bridge. yesterday i walked and walked in order to not fall asleep. i didn't sleep very much on the plane even though i took 1.5 ambien.

i probably walked 8 miles to buckinham palace, hyde park, clarence house (home to the princes william and harry, hubba hubba) mayfair, camden lock, camden canals, camden town (very much like melrose, only grayer)

this morning \i did the gorilla run and it was fucking amazing. i could not stop laughing. we ran over all the bridges, ran by all the london sites, it was truly a great way to see the city. i sweat my ass off in the suit, and its sunny today, ITH'S NEVER SUNNY IN LONDON I CAME TO GET AWAY FROM THE SUN!! and its sunny. alright, i'm off to the tower of london, a medieval castle smack dab in central london!! pretty fucking cool! that's where they chopped off all the heads of people like anne bolyen, yeah, im a history nerd.

no men yet, i only had a beer last night or 3 but whos counting and crashed hard!! i was so fucking tired. anyway, off for now.

what ho! i'm headed to jolly old england tomorrow. I cannot cannot wiat! I have meetings set up, one is a tea! hilarious! One is a drinks, which of course I'll love as i need things to do in the evening.

i got a new top from banana. I got a clean white top for my meetings! so excited to leaving l.a. behind for 10 days to drink, walk around, have meethings, i'm going to watch rugby world up on sunday at a pub in kensington with my friend alan's friends. yahoo!!

I do the gorilla run on saturday, pictures to follow upon my return. I'm super excited to make out with an english lad(s), my face is waxed and plucked, my hair cut all cute and tonight before I go, I have a free ticket to see Justin Timberlake at staples and a limo to take me there!! woo fucking hoo!!!

next stop London!!! awesome! i'll fill you in on all the details this weekened about the gorilla run!!

i had a date at formosa last night. I thought it was going well, he was very cute, very me! which i was finally glad about. his emails were funny (well, mine were funnier, but still) and so it was going well, but at the end of the date i dont thinkhe liked me.

first off we split the bill. not that i expected him to pay for all of it, but it wasjust happy hour appetizers and drinks! helloooo.

then he didn't walk me to my car. in hollywood, not hte most safe neighborhood. and he's from the south so he should know better they're gentlemen for fuck sake.

also he was like "we shoudl do this again" and i didn't believe him and i'm not sure i wanted to do it again so i said "yeah definatelly" very fake enthusiatically.

but i think he may have been having fun then got a vibe off me that i wasn't having fun so then he didn't have fun. Dating is such a fucking mine field.

last night i went to my really great friend from college's parent's house. she was in town for rosh hahanana and i get invited every year for dinner. I am usually horribly uncomfortable as her step dad gets drunk and touches me inapporpraitely. anyway, this year it was a big crowd and even though the SD planted himself near me during the post dinner pre dessert break, I only spoke to him a little then went into the kitchen to help. you know i am desperate to get out of a sitch if i'm HELPING!

anyway, before desert, my friend's father in law gave a toast. thanking each person present for something. this is the order of the people for the toast and i cannot believe i'm not making this up.

my friend
my friends' mother
my friend's step father
my friends aunt and uncle in law
my friends cousin in law
my friends sister's boyfriend
my friends sister
Granny
the kugel (a jewish dish)
the brisket
ME!!

I WAS AFTER THE MUTHA FUCKING BRISKET!!

HAPPY 2 MONTH ANNIVERSARY

I know i said last month that I wouldn't be wishing myself a happy anniversary every month after my appendix was taken out but I had to today for the following reason.

two months ago today i had my appendix out, so i decided to celebrate this morning by being a perfectly attentive driver and getting hit by a driver who was drinking coffee and not paying attention, which dont' worry, i scolded him for. I said "what were you doing?" He todl me drinking his coffee so i said "Well you're driving a car so you're supposed to be paying attention, you're supposed to be focused." yeah like i think i mentioned before i've become a short fused mega bitch recently.

anyway, my bumper has so many scractches from living in west hollywood for so long, so i coudln't tell if he did any damage, but i did take his info in case my back hurts, which is now does. I took his insurance info, and i felt bad b/c his hands were shaking. I feel like i've let so many people who've hit me off the hook, why do i do that?!

i'm too nice. maybe something will work out for me one day.

got notes from mtv on my project. From now on, we've been told that the star of the project wants to beon all the notes calls so next weeks call is going to be have to be cancelled and reschudled over and over i'm imagining. too bad I'm heading out of town on the 20th to london for a little r and r so they'll have to get it together before then. (or wait until 10/1)


didn't do anything interesting last night, went to the gym that was pretty much it. tonight i'm going to drinks at dominicks for a bday party and then tomorrow night my friend will forte's movie The Brother's Solomon is opening and a huge group of us are going to the opening night showing in westwood with the stars of the movie! (which includes will) i think we're buying out the entire theatre!!! so fun! this is the 2nd movie opening night thing i've gone to for a friend this year! when is this going to happen for me that my movie is opening. Dman, i sound so whiny!

wow its wednesday, where did the week go.

the disappearing guy has i believe disappeared for good. he last texted me on friday a.m. and haven't heard since, suffice it to say i'm not optimistic that he's "the one" (i dont actually believe in the one so lucky for my)

this weekend, i went to BBQ after BBQ. I worked out, gained 3 pounds and had a visit from my good friend from high school tina who was here on business. i made her go to the four seasons spa with me for massages as I felt I both needed and deserved one. then we had cocktails at the rooftop spa and then continued drinking at Dominicks where I am every week in case you haven't been following the blog. I end up there at least once a week drinking pinot noir at the bar, it is a delight as i can walk there and its also dangerous cause i can walk there.

but i had fun with tina, it's fun to see friends who've known you forever and there's not pretenses or bullshit.
