Well, something happened today that I’m quite happy about, and as it will affect my writing, I figured I’d post here about it (for the 3 of you who actually read this…hehe). I made the decision, after a LOT of consideration and back-and-forth conversations with my husband, to withdraw from my University studies for the time being. I found out recently that, due to my medical history making my academic history somewhat sporadic over the past few years, I will be unable to attend Teachers’ College, as I’d originally planned. And let’s face it, what else can a person do with an English degree nowadays? I was stressing myself out over these courses, and yet I’m not going to be able to do what I want to do when I’m done anyway. So I’ve put my degree on hold for the time being, and am looking in other directions for something to do with my life.

I’ve debated putting my encounter with Orlando Bloom on the site, because I know not everyone cares, but I figured, since the stories on this site are about him, maybe you’d all be interested. So here’s what happened.

Since tomorrow is Saturday, and since that’s the planned day for an update on ‘Some Scars Never Heal,’ I thought I’d update everyone that tomorrow’s post will be the last one for 2 weekends. I will resume posting updates on Saturday, October 27, 2007, when things settle down a bit here.

A few days passed before I heard anything from Orlando about the audition he wanted to do for me. I managed to get some writing done on my new book, but the casting for After Midnight was always in the back of my mind. I’d done some online research, and rented some of Orlando’s non-epic movies from Netflix, just to see if Olivia was right, and I found that, while stiff in some places, he had potential as an actor, not that I’d really be a good judge of that. I really worked him over in my mind as Jesse, trying to fit him to the character, but there was just something wrong.

“We knew this was coming.”

“I know.” He sighed heavily and ran a hand through his shaggy dark hair. He gave me that half smile that had become so dear to me over the past two weeks. “I just didn’t expect it to feel like this,” he said, stepping closer to me.

I had met Orlando in New York City a month earlier. I was in town auditioning for Wicked, and he had been doing promotion for his up-coming movie, Elizabethtown.

A knock at the door broke our stare, much to my relief. Orlando got up to answer it, and a few minutes later we were set up at the small table in the corner, eating veggie burgers and French fries. Neither of us spoke for a long time, we were both wrapped in our own thoughts. Every now and then we’d glance up at each other and smile, then go right back to our food. I began to wonder if we’d run out of things to talk about.

A few days later, I was practicing vocal scales in my apartment, when the phone rang. I got up from the piano and rushed to answer it. I was waiting for a call about the audition and I was hoping that was it.

“Were you expecting someone?” Orlando asked, looking toward the door.

“Just you,” I said, heading for door. I looked through the peephole and my heart sank. Ramsey, my ex-boyfriend, was standing on the other side of the door. He knocked again.

An hour later, Orlando was all settled on the sofa-bed, and I was changing into my pajamas in my room. When I was changed, I went back into the living room to say goodnight. I knew he was really tired, and I didn’t want to keep him awake any longer than necessary.
