Apparently, the US Weekly article had sparked a frenzy, and everyone -- EVERYONE -- was vying for that next, new picture of Mr. Dean and myself. Though I denied the allegations repeatedly, the media assumed we were handling our affair the way rich people normally did -- with secrecy at first, the thrill still too new to share with the world, and then with glamor, the overwhelming pressure of prying eyes becoming too much to keep a it a secret any longer. The press was jumping at the chance to be that first publication to break the news, that first mouse with the biggest cheese.
It was a shame they'd never find anything to break.
They had the wrong guy.
Jenks, Scotty, Alice and I pushed our way through the crowd as the photographers spat absurd questions at me, shouting at the top of their lungs to be heard. "Where's William tonight?" "Will you be seeing him later?" "How long have you two been seeing each other?" "When's the wedding?" "Will the two companies merge?"
All of which I shrugged off. I'd answer no questions whatsoever. FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Each blinding surge of light pointed right at me made it incredibly difficult to walk, and even harder to concentrate. Who was asking what? Who do I answer? It all seemed to blend together. That was until I heard a deep grumble emanate from the back of the crowd.
"We've got the wrong guy, don't we Ms. Swan? Her sights are a little further from home," the voice said.
I almost stopped dead in my tracks, and would have had Alice not grabbed on to the back of my arm and pushed me ahead with her. I wasn't entirely sure if she heard it as well, but it didn't seem to matter. No one in the crowd cared, or at least, no one was willing to continue questioning his change in direction. Once inside security at the Hilton, I was able to make out the face way at the back, the one that most likely knew my secret.
And I immediately recognized him.
Eleazar Michael -- the most notable paparazzi in the game these days. He goes where the story goes. He follows his prey, stalks it until he gets that one shaming shot.
Britney Spear's crotch? That was Eleazar.
Paris Hilton's sex tape? That was Eleazar.
And he was good at what he did because he was relentless.
~~~***~~~
So?? What'd ya think? Are you excited yet?
Cuz...
I AM!!
So, I'm going to retreat into radio silence and keep writing. LOST TONIGHT AT NINE! BE THERE!!
Confession time: I haven't been working on Spy Games. The reason behind this insanity?
This book consumed me for so many heart-wrenching and thought provoking reasons. First, for those of you who didn't see the movie, let me explain what the story is about. We have one of the protagonists, Henry, who is a "Chrono-displaced person." Meaning that he time travels. Literally. One second, he standing in front of you, the next second, he's completely gone - leaving just his clothes in a pile on the floor.
Then we have Clare, who is Henry's future wife. The thing of Henry's time travel is that he is pulled to big events in his life. For example, his mother died when he was six in a horrific car accident. He's been back to this time in his life hundreds of times. He says that if you were to look around the scene very, very closely -- he is everywhere. He's hiding in the trees, looking from the overpass -- he even places a blanket over the shoulders of his six year old self.
In Henry's middle aged years, he finds himself pulled to a Meadow behind this ginormous house. Come to find out, this is the Childhood home of Clare, his wife. Essentially, in the first few chapters, we learn that Clare has known Henry since she was six, and has had this whole life with him. When Clare and Henry first "meet," Clare is twenty, Henry is twenty eight. So because he doesn't flash back to her childhood until he is around 33, he is completely unaware of any of the experiences he has already had with her.
If that makes sense.
Another reason why I adore this story is that Henry and Clare are completely lovable together. The author does an excellent job of creating these characters who are completely three dimensional and really pop off the page. Henry is hysterical -- and totally in love with Clare. And Clare has a very pronounced and elegant character arc. We see her as a child and a believable adolescent, both through Henry's eyes and Clare's own thoughts. These experiences turn her into an amazingly strong woman, stronger than I could be I think.
Read it! The author does a great job of showing how Henry's and Clare's relationship progresses and puts an interesting twist on the "old-fashioned" love story. It comes highly recommended by yours truly.
In other news,
LMAO!!!
Failblog owns my life.
The Lost premiere was AWESOME!!! I don't know if anyone else was excited about it, but I was -- and they definitely did not disappoint. I love the idea of the flash-sideways. It's interesting to think that these people would still have crossed paths, even if the plane had landed.
To be completely honest though, I'm a little pissed off that I watched five years of plot line and story arcs, only to be forced to forget all of that in the last season when the producers decide that setting off a nuclear bomb puts a reset on everything and changes it completely.
The part in the Temple -- completely did not see that coming. I thought Sayid was a goner for sure. But you know what I think? I think that Jacob found a way to embody Sayid or something.. I dunno.. we'll see what happens in the next episode.
Sayid was always my favorite. I saw that episode where he broke someone's neck with his feet, and I was in love..
Wait, wait..
DUDE KILLED ANOTHER DUDE . . . WITH HIS FEET!!
Shit's just crazy. If I was on that island, I would have had the same idea as Shannon. Sayid's the mother fucker I'm bunking with.
And on a personal note, there's two feet of snow on the ground right now. I'm gonna get some hot chocolate, write a little bit, and then watch some tv. Any good shows you recommend?
