You have a picture of you and Nathaniel? I thought you lived in Aussie-land.
(I went to New York for a week, remember?)
No, I don't, but OK.
So wait, you met up with Nathaniel when you went to NY!? Should I meet up with him next time I go to NY? I thought that encroached into the "stalking" zone.
lol, i TOTALLY mentioned it a bunch of times on here. You obviously aren't a dedicated reader! lol.
He even mentioned it on HIS blog.
Maybe you should ask him like I did. And then a couple of months later he was all "didn't you say you were coming to New York. We should meet up" and we did.
That's the reason I left for a week and a half recently.
OK, well, I know you left for a week and a half, but I didn't know where for. Although now I do sort of remember a NY thing being discussed. Yeah, I have been busy with life lately.
Hmm, maybe I will warn Nathaniel next time I head to NYC. We'll see.
Wait, were you also in LA? What's with the Hollywood sign? Sorry I was not following all this at the time, but I am intrigued.
Just netflixed a History of Violence and have been devouring special features at strange hours. It is a very disturbing film. Maria Bello is so fuckin' cool.
Post! Post! Post! It's not like we haven't seen Nat's face by now.
whoa, who deleted two replies? Sad.
And yes, I was in LA for a day and half as well! Hence, the Hollywood Sign.
(I'm seeing A History of Violence on Tuesday. Thankfully it's still in cinemas here)
That was me, I accidentally posted three times.
Hey if I am ever in Australia (which will never happen), then I am looking you up. I was there once, though, when I was 15. Sydney is amazing.
lol, you totally should. I can show you around the greatness that is Geelong. Nah. Melbourne (just a short train ride away) is awesome (better than Sydney btw)
Well I didn't go to Melbourne. But I loved Sydney. I remember thinking that it was the cleanest and most colorful and happy big city I'd ever seen.
