"I must be going because
I got life to do..

I'm not missing you.."

Dear Gabrielle,

Thursday, 3rd Aug:

I spent the whole day trying to get over French guy. It did not help that for the first time this summer, it was actually raining in London. Dark, grey and sombre, exactly how I felt. The conversation of the night before played in my head like a broken record.

French Guy: Elle, I think you are more in love with me than I am with you.

Me: (Gasps aplenty here) I'm not in love with you! Don't be ridiculous.

French Guy: Well, it does not matter. I spent the whole of Sunday thinking about us. It bothers me that we have been together for three weeks and I am not in love with you.

Me: Are you kidding me?

French Guy: Hmmph?

Me: Surely, you don't expect to fall in love with anyone in such short notice? It took me a year to fall in love with my ex-boyfriend (sorry I had to drag you in this conversation Gabe! )

French Guy: Well, we are just too different, Elle. I'm a simple guy. You are too bling for me.

Me: (More uncontrollable gasps here) Look, I know you rather me wear baggy jeans and Converse shoes. I have tried to dress down so much when I'm with you. But you know what, when you met me, you knew I was a girlie girl! I don't understand why you are trying to change me? I accepted you as you are.

French Guy: Elle, we have too many different dreams.

Me: What? Like you wanting to travel loads. And me wanting to travel all the time? Like you wanting to work in the US? And me wanting to retire in Hawaii someday?

French Guy: (looking guilty) The sex wasn't great..

Me: (Sigh) It would have been better if you could get it up at least one time..

Friday, 4th August:

Woke up too early at 6.30 am and found myself in last night's dress and make-up. The taste of Pimm's lingered in my mouth. Memories of last night's dinner flashed by - me, sullen faced and distant. What a depressing presence I must be at Nelly's pre-wedding dinner.

You've got mail. And a chat request from Chris, a sexy pilot from Colorado. (He'd been emailing me since June..)

Chris: Hey you! About San Francisco.. you coming?

Me: (Gasps of delight) Yeah, sure. Why not! September?

Chris: Tell me the dates and I'll bid for the days off.

One day of singledom and already I have a date! I floated on cloud nine all day.. Here we come San Francisco!!

Saturday, 5th August

Nothing like a Saturday gym session to let go of any residual aggression. Bumped into hot fitness trainer.

(Okay, he's been flirting with me since July! Of course I didn't encourage him then, Gabe! )

Gym Instructor: How you doing? You're looking good.

Me: (looking puzzled) This old gym wear?

Gym Instructor: How's the workout going? Need any induction?

Me: I've already had mine, thanks... but I'm open to revised induction..

Gym Instructor: I'm open too. Anytime you want Elle... anytime you want.. (Gasps aplenty here..)

After my heart wrenching work out, I decided to be bold. For the first time since I joined the gym, I ventured to the unisex hot tub. Funny how a bikini can fill a previously vacant tub. Men are so predictable...

Cute guy: It's hot in here isn't it?

Me: Yes...

Cute guy: I saw you on the treadmill just now. You are very fit.

Me: Why thanks. (Looking longingly at pool) I wish I could swim though..

Cute guy: You don't swim?

Me: I'm too scared.. I almost drowned last year..

Cute guy: I'll teach you to swim.. you free tomorrow?

(Gasps to infinity...)

Now Gabe is this just not ridiculous? I was sure, when French guy dumped me, I would easily meet another boy round the corner. However, I did not expect it to be this fast. And so many boys! What's with the numerous options? Do I have a 'Newly Single' sign on my forehead?

French guy who? It's crazy how in just one day I can get over him. I don't really believe in revenge but this time round, revenge has been a great healer. And no revenge is greater than the revenge of living your life like nobody's business..

Do I miss French guy? Not really. I've done my mourning, and it's time to slam the door behind. Heck, there are too many doors awaiting to be opened! Question is, which door should I start with?? Whatever it is, a a little birdie tells me, I've got some romantic adventures brewing ahead... Watch this space, Gabe.. watch this space!

Passionately Revenging,

Elle Sheri xo

	Alexwrote: Oh Elle, Just when everything seems to be working out again with my favourite Ex in the world it all goes wrong again - this is the boy i have lets face it been in love with since i was 12. We both know we are far too busy for anything in the world but fun, but why do emotions have to get in the way?! He has grown up considerably in the last year (got his own house, a decent job, calmed down totally) but why oh why does he worry about everyone else and what they think about everything and anything he is doing? Lots of Love as always xxxx p.s Coral's hair looks hot x Aug. 20
	Coralwrote: Dahling! Selamat Petang [ish] There's absolutely nothing like a bit of retail therapy! 2 new tops and a pair of jeans [AND new perfume, which I needed. Was gonna go for Paul Smith Floral, but stayed with D&G Light Blue] + new hair cut [which is pretty short, but hey, I love it] Went to see Miami Vice yesterday. Jamie Foxx is hott, and the film is good as well [cos I actually watched it!] Hair cut was Thursday. I wanted to go for a change, I kept the fringe but it's kinda bob length ish. Nothing else to report. Results on Thursday. I'll drop you a text. My Phone is pesh atm.. I get a surge of texts around 11pm-ish.. Which people have sent me at 10/11am.. So that's why I never got a delivery report for you the other day. I need good results cos then I can get a new phone! Haha. Mum tells me not to worry about what I get, but I have to go to Col. she also said, "you're not worried about telling us what you got are you?" I was like, "no" [unless I come out with a U in Spanish or something Haha] Went to the post office today to send Em [in US] a card. £1.12 it cost me. I could have died! Think I wanna go again next year [if they'll have me!] Love and Hugs, Coral xo Aug. 19

	Wayward Billwrote: My Dear Elle Sheri, I never did trust the French when it comes to love, they want too many other people involved, mistresses and such. Have fun in San Francisco. I am currently running for Most Diverse Space @ SHOF , I would appreciate it if you would give me consideration of a vote. The other two categories are Most Friendly and Best Music Videos. You can find the candidates on the left side of the space. You must vote in all three categories for your vote to count. Peace, Love, Hippie Stuff, Wayward Bill Aug. 12
	Susanwrote: Thursday : 10 am : Me to Hillarie : Me: I'm done with men, Hill. It's just pain and heartache. I can't take the disappointments anymore. Hill: Yeah, right Susan. Will you still be saying that tomorrow? Me: Of course! I'm serious this time Hill... Hill: You said that right before you met Midnight. Me: Don't remind me. We swore we wouldn't say his name anymore. Hill: So, you're hoping he's out tonight, aren't you? Me: Shut up Hillarie. Technically Friday: 3:30 am : It's dumping buckets of rain, I swear. I've followed Midnight home to make sure he's ok. His alarm goes off so I go to make sure he's ok. I swear this is true Elle...lol..this next part is a little dreamy....He pulls me close to him, with the rain pouring down and kissed me. It was the most insanely romantic thing ever to happen to me. Somewhere in the kisses he told me he was sorry for being distant. My head is still spinning at the memory. I swear it was like a scene out of a movie. I'm going to write an entry about this later but I had to share with you. I knew you'd appreciate it. ;) Aug. 11
