Entry 12

Man, it feels like forever since I've written in this, but it's been so hectic lately! My last entry left me pondering thoughts and borderline insane over Shinomori. Since then Megumi-san kept me busy with writing and then something happened one night.
I was sitting around in my apartment and watching a movie with Kaoru-chan, an American film called "Down With Love". Ewan McGregor...oh yum! Anyway, watching that movie made me realize how much it was like my situation with Shinomori...minus the 60s stuff and the fake authoring but still...I was inspired.
And so I mentioned the idea to Megumi-san: I, Makimachi Misao, write a book about relationships...or more so...the battle of the sexes in the modern world.
At first I thought she would laugh and scoff and just give me more stories...but then she had a glint in her eye and a Cheshire cat grin.
'Misao-chan, that's quite possibly the best idea you've had yet.' And so, with the full backing of 'Venus' and Kaoru-chan, and the cafe, and even my LARP group who didn't seem to actually understand what it was I was writing, and some random coffee vendors...I began what ended being a time-consuming two month long endeavor.
I was going to write a book exploring the history of relationships between men and women, the modern standards, and all those little quirks in between. I was going to defend womankind from that 'barfly' name Shinomori branded onto us, I was going to make girls realize it's NOT ALWAYS OUR FAULT DAMMIT!
And so after a month I had a rough draft, Megumi-san as editor, and after some revisions my book was set to debut next week.
I won't be too heart broken if it isn't a best-selling, just hope that it sells and that at least one woman smiles from reading it and realizes that she isn't the only one going through relationship roller costers. I wonder how Shinomori is handling the news on this. Especially since he is a fractional part of why I wrote the book. I'm sure he'll have something to say in his column.
Oh yes, Know Magazine, somewhat the male version of 'Venus', has begun featuring a column by Shinomori. It's nice to see he can write something aside from misogyny. I think I sleep about 5 at best out of 24 hours a day lately and live even more of caffiene and thank GOD everyday for the wonders of white eyeliner and concealer and make up in general cause without it I'm looking pretty worn. I swear I'm taking a NICE tropical vacation when this book thing is over because I'm looking a bit paler than the norm and I could totally go for some pina coladas on a nice beach overlooking the ocean with some tall, handsome stranger at my side.
Ugh. If only the person I picture wasn't suspiciously like Shinomori. Grr.
This is quite irrational, but what else is new?
well, I did add some violet streaks to my hair in a freak decision one day when caffeine was out of reach. I'm not sure I like it. I look like an eggplant which is pretty bad analogy because I really hate eggplant and now that I think about it I'm a bit hungry and suddenly want some Italian food. Kitchen is empty.
Damn.
I think I have some money, maybe a quick bowl of pasta would hit the spot.
