That’s Stella

I am having a ball in New York right now. I am sure it has everything to do with the fact I’m staying with one of my girl friends right now till I move into my new apartment. I think it’s weird how we met every time I think about it. My former director in New York became one of my close friends and he introduced me to his younger sister (who was my age - she’s only 9 days older then me) because he knew we were into the same sort of things, and we hung out only once or twice the last time I was in NY but kept in touch and I’m staying with her now! And she lives in the same apartment building as her brother so it’s great to see him and his family all the time too.

I’ve always thought that if he wasn’t married and had children that I could so easily fall in love with him. He’s not my type at all, but he’s always cared for me and been there to chat and made sure I have a roof over my head and he’s intelligent (Harvard educated) and quirky and with a sexy amount of arrogance which makes me feel special that he’s always had time for me. I love hanging out with his missus and his little girls. They are completely gorgeous and they make me feel like I’m part of the family. I’ve even joined in on their Jewish religious customs too which is a fab experience.

Anyway I’ve been going out a lot with my friends and spending hours in coffee shops reading or writing and hanging out in the Village. We had dinner in Union Square tonight and went to see a late movie then drinks in the Meat Packing District. I love all the walking around too. It doesn’t make me feel so guilty about eating. Haha.

Bstein keeps calling and he wants me to meet his mom for dinner this week.

Scary.

She is really excited about meeting me and wants to make me a home cooked dinner! I couldn’t stop thinking about it whilst we were out tonight. I feel slightly anxious and a little excited and pressured! I am pretty great with parents (ask questions, make conversation, am chirpy and always help with setting the table or cleaning up) which makes me wonder if this is the time I screw it up when it means that little bit more this time round?
