So, Valentines Day is coming up... Is it better to find a date or just find something else to do? I'm torn between the two options because there are enjoyable things to do both ways.

Hi! I guess this has been a long time coming. I mean, I've lived here for about four years now, and I kept hearing about this, but I guess I didn't really have the drive to join until now. It looks pretty customary to do the standard introduction, so, here goes.

My name's Peeta (yeah, I know), I work at Baxter Bakery. I actually might even know some of you without actually knowing you. I also go to school in LA, doing fashion and art (yeah, I still know). I've always been told that life's about being in the right place at the right time, and it's who you know, and this seems like a pretty good place for all that. Career wise. Even though I'm still a while off from a degree, let alone a career. But, hey, never hurts to start early, right?

Yeah, I'm not sure why Americans are so crazy for Black Friday. One of the girls made me go with her promising I would love it... Didn't happen. It's stupid. I got pushed around and ran into for what? A few things.

I'm not sure why people find this fun or is it just me?

Are there any Halloween parties this week? I've decided that I am going to give this Halloween thing a try. Why not? I've even decided to dress up in a theme with a few friends. It should be fun.

My mom came from France to open a new restaurant in the area and she is having a private opening kind of thing and she's worried no one will come... Says people don't like fancy French food or whatever. How about we turn it into a party? You can't be fresh homemade crepes.

I forgot to post about which dog I decided to go with and now that all the paper work is done and he's at home. I would like you all to meet Wilson Binx. My cats are quite skeptical of having a dog in the house, but I think they'll come around. He's fairly young so he's all about trying to play with them and I'm having a hell of a time watching them. It's taking a lot of self restraint from taking a lot of videos of them.

Gotta get him into training and hopefully I'll be able to have him come to the clinic soon enough.

Where does one go to meet people, exactly? That isn't some sort of bar or night club, mind you. Those things aren't really my cup of tea.

But I've been wanting to branch out and make new friends, and that sort of thing, but I'm not certain where to start!

Perhaps I could start a book club? Hmm...

There's nothing like having a sick kid in the house. I'm sure that means I'm going to be sick soon as well.

Any advice on how to keep yourself healthy while you're taking care of someone who is under the weather?

I never was one to really talk to a lot of people, but one thing the Valarnet has helped do is to pull me out of that and make me sit up and take notice of things. Well, the net and Portia. But mostly the net, really, with it's crazy stories and interesting people. Portia is just awesome because she's Portia.

I like this place.

I have to admit I've never been so glad that I am able to work from home as I was in the last couple of weeks. My boyfriend has been great about living between our two places, it actually worked out much better than I thought it would.

Those attacks were awful, though everybody pulled together so well during and since. It's nice to see people supporting and caring about each other. I hope everybody is okay.

Anywhere else I would be considered odd for knowing magic but here it seems to be less of a bad thing and more of a good thing. You never know what you will find outside. I am starting to think that is a good reason not to move back home to Paris... Paris would feel rather boring after this.

How many people out there really play this Candy Crush game? I mean it seems like every place I look there is someone playing it... Though I have to admit I have been playing myself. It started out as a challenge between the dance girls to see who could get the farthest and I still find myself playing more than I care to admit. Not so much now that I have beat all the levels available in the app.

Yeah, I need to find something else to do with my time. I do have a few new photo shoots coming up thankfully.

Unlike most people, I find summer a rather boring prospect. I do not work summers and I am really not the type of girl that likes laying on the beach looking for my next summer fling. I cannot even tell you the last time I went out on a date other than before New Years. I did do some modeling last week, it was fun, maybe I will see about doing more of that to keep me busy.

My youngest sister is having a sleepover party this weekend and my mom is still away on location. My dad is taking my brothers out, so guess who gets to watch a half dozen ankle biters tomorrow night? If you said Max Ride, then you've won! Although, there's no prize. So, I need some help. What can I do with these girls to keep them entertained? I don't want to wind up with them hopped up on sugar and me tied to a chair with a jump rope.

So, ideas are very welcome.

How does someone become a taxi driver if they do not know where they are going? I mean I had to take a quick trip to New York for an audition and I think getting from LAX to my apartment was longer than the cross country flight. Has anyone not heard of a GPS or something?

Where do they find these people? You would think it would be a job requirement or something.

So, I've been thinking about it and I think once I'm free of this sling, which should only be a few more weeks, I'm going to start taking kickboxing classes. I see the things I can do in my dreams and while I can do the acrobatics, I know nothing about the fighting part. Besides, I want to be able to protect myself if anything happens.

I'm also going to be talking to my coach soon about the possibility of me coaching. I just don't feel like competing again, in the Olympics, is what I should do and I don't think it's fair to all the other girls out there who had the dream that I had. My dream was to win and Olympic medal and last summer I won two. I'm satisfied. It was my father who wanted me to go back.

Besides, I like actually having a social life and friends and a boyfriend someone who likes me. I don't want to give all of that up to be in the gym 24/7.

Who doesn't love impromptu vacations? I completely forgot I was supposed to be in New York this coming weekend for a competition. I mean I did not forget about the competition but for some reason it felt like it should be more than a week away.

Anyone been to Hawaii this time of year? I think I need a proper vacation once I get back. It is between there or somewhere in the Caribbean or maybe Greece.

Does anyone know a good vet that would take a new patient? My usual vet is out of town and my puppy is sick. There is something wrong with him and everyone I call is full or won't make an exception. Said I am overreacting and don't know anything about dogs which is kind of true. My ex. left me with Jake but he is clearly sick. Dogs can catch bugs too right? It has to be just that.

That only helps me though if someone could come over and help me. Jake is too big for me to lift and carry to my car and he will not get up on his own. I will even pay you whatever you want.

SEVEN DAYS UNTIL THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY.

We just thought we'd remind you. There will be more details soon about party + venue + everything we expect from life, and everything you promised us.

In the meantime:

Tonks: Hope the rest of your birthday went well!
Percy: You're coming to our party. You do not have a choice in the matter.
Ginny: Ready for charity work and favors from us in return? We're thinking Wednesday.
Percy's Better Half: Read above. Minus the favor part.
Hermione: ... We got nothing. We just wanted to include you in our list.
Verity: Hi. We can see you working. Over there. Behind that thing. Yeah. You.

EDIT:
Midna Not-Weasley: BRONCHITIS: Ain't nobody got time for it.

Isn't this fun?

I do believe I just tried to pick up some attractive stranger by serenading him with some sugary song meant to be aimed at teenage girls... A song I was not even aware I knew the words too. I am also pretty sure I did not know Taylor Swift's name before this week either. The younger girls need to find something new to listen to in the dance studio from now on.

I forgot how crazily busy working on a film set can be! That plus all the normal craziness around here means time has raced by.

On the plus side it seems my dreams have stayed away while I've been so hectic, I'm hoping they'll stay away for a while though I've probably jinxed it now.

You would think having a general idea on how the story in the dreams, or whatever you want to call it, ends would give you a sense of closure but it doesn't really. It is more like an emptiness or when you finish a book, close it, and then it hits you some big question has gone unanswered. It is hard to explain I guess.

Or is it just me that feels that way? Feels like there should be a reason for the dreams but there isn't except that we want there to be a reason.

I find that sometimes I forget about all this and that maybe I should check it a little more often. The Prix finals are not for nearly six more weeks so I figured it would be a good time to actually paint my new apartment. What I did not count on is the fact that I have a now very large puppy that apparently likes to roll in paint... It is a toss up on which there is more of on the walls and myself, paint or water from when I tried to give Jake a bath.

As for the unpacking it will probably never happen. I only rarely ever unpack anyhow as I seem to be a bit of a Gypsy these days and never in one place very long. After the Prix I could very well be offered a job in Europe somewhere.

There's a reason we're not supposed to be doing magic in the halls. When I woke up this morning, my teeth were different. From the dream. And then I was helping Harry learn about Summoning Charms. I think I could do them in my sleep now.

Also, on my way to church this morning, I saw a little girl everywhere. Like, a ghost. I think with the Wonderland craziness and getting more and more excited about going to Mars I forgot about the hauntings people have been seeing. I must be slipping Are people still seeing her? Does anyone know who she is, or how we can help her?

I'm sure that flying back tomorrow is gonna suck too.

Tomorrow morning I'm doing an interview about everything that happened with my parents. I haven't really publicly talked about it, but now I'm ready. Then Sunday we're going to do some sightseeing around Boston and I should be back in California Monday.

So my engagement lasted about as long as most celebrity marriages... It is what it is. I will be okay with a little bit of time.

In positive news I have been offered one of the last remaining spots for the Youth America Grand Prix try-outs. They are this coming weekend in San Francisco, it is last minute, but I am happy for the chance. It is the last year I am eligible to compete. I have already placed internationally in the Prix de Lausanne, so I could find work with a reputable company but this is something I want to do for me. Not for anyone else. To prove to myself I still have what it takes to perform competitively and because I love competing and ballet.

Let's face it there is something extremely satisfying about running into an ex unexpectedly and looking better than they remember. It is just that look they give you when they realize it and know they lost their chance. It is not like he could find a girl prettier than me any how.

For the first time in a while I feel like my life is where it should be and the people that should be in it are already there. I have been fretting over it a while but I have decided it is not worth my time or tears anymore. And despite what some people think the engagement between Bill and I is not a secret nor was it ever intended to be one. January was a long month as many are aware but those closest to us have known for a while. I am sure that reporter will pop up and tell you other wise but that is how it goes.

I finally talked to my dad today. I didn't want to talk to him until after I talked to my coach, to find out whether or not he was going to stick with me after this whole thing with my parents is finalized and I'm happy to say that I won't have to look for a new coach. We're going to use a different gym though, otherwise my dad will just be able to come down whenever I'm training and that's the opposite of what I want.

So, yeah, my dad. He's definitely not happy and says he's going to fight this. I told him there was nothing to fight, because legally there's nothing he can do to stop me from taking control of my life.

There are still so many other people I need to talk to, but once this is all taken care of, I'm going to sit down and decide exactly what I'm going to do as far as competing goes. I do plan on going to the American Cup in Boston in March, but after that, I'm not sure what I'm doing.

I still can't believe I actually did it. I took the first steps to actually getting out from under my parents and it feels so good. I am so grateful to have a friend like Jubilee who will let me crash at her place until this is all done. I think my dad has called me about three dozen times since they realized I was gone, Friday, but I haven't answered. I can't talk to them right now. They don't know where I am and I want to keep it that way for a little while longer. I mean, they're bound to figure it out eventually, since I don't know too many people out here, but until they do, I'm not talking to them.

I need to contact Red Planet International later. Mr. Dresden gave me their number and I was going to call right away, but with all the moving of my stuff, I've just been exhausted ever since. I don't even know if anyone is there today since it's Sunday, but I'll give it a try. I have to call my coach too. I'm hoping he'll stick with me and not side with my parents.

I just can't wait until I finally have complete control over my own life.

I'm in so much pain. Now that the gym is open again, my dad had me up before the crack of dawn to make up for the training I missed out on during the flu outbreak. I've been training for the last fourteen hours, almost, non-stop. I just spent the last half hour soaking in an ice bath and it made no difference. Even my coach thought my dad was pushing me too hard and he's one of those Russian coaches who usually don't know what too much is. I just wish this would end. I don't want to quit gymnastics, but I don't want to be forced to train this hard. It's not fun anymore.
