Intern on a Collision Course

Dearest girls,

It has been a crazy few weeks!   Rose, how is it that this has happened again!?  Remind me of his name?  There must have been a reason I ran out! Does this mean if you marry him I'm banned from the wedding?

If it makes you feel any better, I definitely got my comeuppance last month.  I was dating this horror of a man out in the Hamptons... an all-around loser of a guy.  Why was I with him, you ask?  Love makes a girl do crazy things!  Anyway, last month we were invited to an amazing party -- dancing, drinking, good friends... an End of Season send off.  Well, we got into a minor argument (nothing like the rows I used to get into in school with good ol' Whatshisname!) and HE stormed off, leaving me alone at the party.

An  hour later I found him sitting in the car with the engine running.  I was barely in the car when the lunatic peeled out of the parking lot.  He was screaming and yelling and at some point he lost control of the car sending us straight into a pole!  He TOTALED the car... and don't even get me started on the bumps and bruises that I endured as a result of the accident. Needless to say the police came, he was arrested and is now in a whole lot of trouble.  It also goes without saying that I will never see him again (so no spare me the lecture, Rose!).  I booked it out of town on the first Jitney back to the City!

I'm heading back to Hawaii on Thursday then back to Paris for a few weeks.  After all those years of bullshit jobs and internships, can you believe I finally have a job that allows me to split my time between NYC and Paris?!

Flora, what's new?  We're in the same city and I still have a hard time pinning you down.  Come back to us!  Who's going to break us up when Rose and I get into one of our epic fights?!

PS.  So there are two morals of the story:  don't date losers and don't date losers who drink and drive.

Come Out Wherever You Are

OMG outrageous story!  I had two goldfish when I went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning there was only 1 in the bowl.  Took everything out of it in case it was hiding behind the fake scenery.  NOPE!  NOT THERE!  Behind the dresser it was on?  NOPE! On the side?  Maybe it jumped out?  NOPE!  Why would it be that easy?!?

Turns out the little guy jumped out last night and landed in a drawer that was slightly open at the very bottom of the dresser then flopped around to the back of it and jumped out landing underneath the drawer!  Not until we took out all the drawers did we find the shiny yellow fish.  He looked like a hidden jewel amongst all the dust! 

I am still weirded out! 

Miss you guys.  Sorry for being a dickhead lately about everything!  Don't blame you guys for not wanting to talk.

Outraged Intern

Ophelia, we need to talk!  I couldn't be more furious with you.  It is like college all over again.  Me and the boyfriend made a discovery during dinner last Thursday.
Turns out that you guys have been intimate in the past... that you ran out on him the next morning ... and in true Ophelia fashion...  he never heard from you again!
You never stop to think about the person on the other end of the phone whilst you selfishly ignore someone's messages and phone calls.
Anyway, I was telling him all about my lovely friends and when he found out who you were... he couldn't deal with it!  I haven't heard from him for days.
CALL ME!

Love Is In The Air

Yay, we are all in the lovely US of A at the same time!  I smell a reunion in the near future. Love it <3 love...="love..." nbsp="nbsp" of="of" p="p" peaking="peaking">
So I mentioned in my last email that I had a boyfriend situation.  Thank you for your patience and I shall now divulge.  His name is Brandon and he actually looks a bit like Brandon from the original 90210.  (I guess I will always have a thing for that 90's hair!)   Met him a work drinks that I had organized a few weeks ago...  swoon...

He is pretty good to me, but the biggest draw is that he is on the job hunt for me! If he finds me a normal paying- non-intern position I might just as him to marry me!

The New Girl in Town

Rose honey, so sorry you were ill!  Any chance you can parlay some of that down time into a visit to NYC?!  I'm having an absolute blast (remind me why I don't live here?!) and it has been great reconnecting with Flora (we had coffee on Friday!).  I have been spending weekends in the Hamptons which has been so fabulous!  Flora refuses to come out with me (something about a "penny saved is a penny earned"!) but hopefully I can change her mind in time for Labor Day weekend (hint hint nudge nudge).

That said, it isn't all play no work for your dear friend.  I am working for an amazing woman I met in Paris in the spring at her boutique PR company.  I am having such a great time (and she likes me so much) that I am staying on through fashion week!!  What do I have to rush back to Paris for anyway?  After that we'll both head to London, Milan and Paris where we'll sadly part ways.  I am hoping I can turn this into a permanent gig... maybe even start a Paris office!  On verra!

Ok chickadees, must run, beach time!

Broke AGAIN!

Hi Ladies,
Thank goodness for Central Park!  What's a New Yorker to do without any $$$$ ???
Well.... I have been going on runs, walks, sleeping in the park in the sunshine, watching the beautiful men playing football in Sheep Meadow.....  You know... The usual....
I may be a broke New Yorker... but never have I been more at peace with doing nothing!!!!!
Although.... I think it is time I concentrate on my entrepreneural ventures that I abandoned when I was employed full time.  It's time I grab life by its balls! Who's with me?!!?
Ophelia, coffee tomorrow?

Kisses,

Fallen Intern

The boss is shooting a couple of episodes of a show... And I have had the pleasure of assisting him on set... long story short... virus hits the set.. everyone is ill... I've become extremely cosy with my toilet.  

Now the producers have no choice, but to decontaminate the set...  after 30 people have been hit with a vicious stomach virus!  Ouch!  Poor me :(

Glad to have you back, Flora.  Love that you guys are in NYC together!  Maybe I'll come to visit...

The Apologetic Intern

Guys,  I really am sorry for being such a bad friend this year and being MIA.  Taking some time away from everything was about me needing to be selfish for my own sanity and I hope you can understand that.  I love you both and you are my sisters.  Ophelia, I'm glad that we finally go to catch up in person and also that you are here for the rest of August!  Huge apologies from your troubled, little, unemployed friend.

Are You Kidding Me?!

Rose, you sneaky little thing.  That girl sounds like a total bitch.  Get that job, girl!  And speaking of bitchy things to do, I really feel like I should clear the air, especially since I am leaving for New York on Monday.  Flora, you know I love you, but we have been friends since we were ten and I think it is pretty shitty to disappear in the fucking Outback for two months without sending word to your best friends.  I was worried sick by the unanswered emails, texts and calls and even more so when your family said you were off on a "expedition of self-exploration"!  Would it have killed you to at least let us know?  I know we're supposed to hang out in New York this month but frankly I am livid.  How could you?   Well, we'll have plenty of time to hash this out starting next week.  I am sure you have your reasons but god, could you be more selfish?!  


In other news, I scored myself a freelance gig in New York so I won't just be loafing around (Rose, I am sure you're thrilled to hear that I'm actually working and not just galavanting.  Isn't that the word you always use to describe my travels?)  Yours truly will be in the city Monday through Thursday and in the Hamptons on the weekend.  August is going to be amazing!  Flora darling, I sure hope we're friends again soon.  Wouldn't want you to miss out on all the Hamptons fun!

the world's a stage

Flora, I fell of my chair when I read this.  You went on a fucking walkabout?  I need details asap!  Have in NYC ladies.
LA so far is good.  I am still interning for the director and slowly plotting to push his assistant out of the picture! (evil laugh)  It must be working because she hates to have me back from London.  I am dealing with all of the post production elements now seeing as I was physically there for the shoot and the fact that I have an in at the post house doesn't hurt either ;)  Anyway, the assistant flipped out at me today out of her own frustration and bumped me in the shoulder on her way out of the office.  What a stupid b**ch.  If I felt bad about anything before she just bumped it all away!  She is going down and out! Mark my words... I will have her job by the end of August!

Love you guys,
