A/N: This was actually inspired by something I've already written. If you've read any of my other stuff, I've written something called "Anya's Personal Thoughts," and it's basically just a collection of diary entries I've written for Anya. Well, I was reading through that and I decided that I kind of wanted to do something like that for Michael, but since he's all Internet-y and stuff, I decided that a blog would be more appropriate for him. And, yes, I know perfectly well about how he already wrote for Crackhead, but I wanted him to have a blog, not a webzine.

Setting: I'm going to assume that, since the Obamas were at Mia's birthday party in the tenth book, the fourth book occurred around 2005-ish. Therefore, Michael's blog will start in late 2006, when he and Mia have been going out for about a year and a half.

Length: If y'all like it, I'd be happy to write more entries, of course!

Some Other Random Crap... : Assuming I DO write more blog posts for him, the titles of chapters will be the names of blog posts.

Attack of the Paparazzi

All right. I'm sure most of you have never been the boyfriend or girlfriend of a princess or prince that has gotten ridiculous amounts of publicity because they just found out they were a princess a few years prior to tonight.

Or, you know, maybe you have, but I like to pretend you haven't so that I can be special.

Anyway.

Mia and I went to Number One Noodle Son, her favorite Chinese restaurant, for dinner tonight, along with my sister, her boyfriend, J.P. (he's the one that hates corn in his chili, remember?), Mia and Lilly's other best friend, Tina, and Tina's boyfriend (AKA Lilly's ex - God, those girls have a lot of drama), Boris.

We all had a great time eating cold sesame noodles (Mia) and mushu [A/N: spelling?] pork. (That's what all the rest of us at e- hey, we don't have to be vegetarians just because Mia is one.)

Until we decided to go see if there were any good movies playing.

So we were walking there, tailed by Mia's bodyguard, Lars, and Tina's, Wahim.

We got NAILED by a ton of cameras suddenly clicking in our faces.

We really shouldn't have been that surprised, really - Mia's probably one of the most famous people in New York City, Lilly's public access show is actually kind of popular (she has a stalker named Norman that has a foot fetish, but that's a whole different story), J.P. is the son of an extremely successful Broadway producer, and Boris is quite a rising star in the music business. Together, the four of them managed to clog up a whole street will all of the paparazzi following them.

But then we all had a race to see who could get to Mia's loft first, since she lived the closest, and it actually ended up being fun.

So, how about you? Have you ever had the police end up blocking a street with your shenanigans?
