So, since I'm bored and currently procrastinating packing, and since we haven't done this in a while, Fellow Tales, I urge you to play along with me.

This is an anonymous post. Comment here with your name, if you want to play along, and hopefully, people will comment anonymously to you. It can be silly, sweet, nice, mean... Whatever you want to say, and hopefully we'll get some entertainment going on in these journals.

I mean, come on, it's been months, guys. Let's have some fun.

[ooc: For a little looksie on how this was done in the past, refer to this post. This is always a ton of fun to do, so try it out!]

Apparently it's been observed by more than a few people that I love my Harley, because I just got a call asking me to do a shoot to campaign their newest bike, the V-Rod Muscle.

Psh. Like I'm going to turn that down. And it'll give me something to do, keep my mind off things.

I rarely say this, but I think I need a bit of a break. I feel like I've been working myself into the ground.

I'm in this weird head space where, when I get home, I'm so exhausted that I just want to sit around and do nothing. And I mean nothing. Just sit there and watch movies. I've been meaning to read a few books, but I can't even get around to that. And then, on the rare days that I do have off, my mentality is that it's my day off! I should enjoy it and... do nothing.

Maybe I just need some time out of the house. I don't know. I know if I take a break, I'll miss out on something good.

[ music | Lindsay Lohan :: Rumors ]

So, here's my drama for the evening.

I was driving around in my Harley, escaping, minding my own business. I turned onto a particular street, and it was just me and another car, which was driving the opposite direction as me, towards me. Well, instead of being on his side of the road, he was straddling both sides. Once he noticed I was another vehicle on the road, and not just some weird light coming towards him (I say this because I'm positive he was drunk), he swerved to try and get on the right side of the road. Well, he turned the wheel too sharply, and too quickly. He spun out of control, and ended up sideways in a ditch.

And he had the audacity to get mad at me when I called the cops. Uh, hello? I'm being a good citizen by making sure you're okay. And it's the law to report those things. Bastard. I fell off my bike trying to avoid him, but it's fine. Can't say the same for his car. God forbid I worry about someone other than me.

The Tropic Thunder premiere was fun. I haven't been to a movie premiere in so long, I'd forgotten how fun they were. And I got to meet Robert Downey, Jr., Jack Black, and Ben Stiller. That would have been enough to make me not even care of the movie was good or not. But the movie was pretty funny anyway.

I think the media was surprised to see me accompanying a guy. I think they're still convinced I've become a lesbian.

Anyway, I'm back in New York, for one more week. As much as I love it here, I can never find much to do.

I got asked to go to a movie premiere as someone's date in Hollywood. Sure, it's last minute, seeing as it's going to be next Monday, but that's alright. It's that new Jack Black/Ben Stiller/Robert Downey Jr. movie. Looks pretty hilarious.

Thank God I'm in New York, that way I can get a new outfit for it.

Hayley, Grace, I'm just flying there Monday afternoon and coming back to New York Tuesday morning, so I shouldn't miss you if you two decide to come down.

I used to go to these things with Lindsey, and paparazzi assumed everyone that went with somebody was dating them. But... I'm not dating this guy seriously, and who cares what the paparazzi think.

...And I'm sure he doesn't read that shit in the tabloids anyway, right? It's not a big deal.

I'm not a picky "celebrity". I even hate using that term in reference to myself So what I don't understand is, why, when I ask for one little thing to be done, is it such a hassle to do as I see fit? I merely asked for an interviewer not to ask about a certain topic, and she did it anyway. I don't ever do that, and she just... ugh.

Okay, so I've done things that people have told me not to. Like getting my tattoos or buying my Harley. Hell, even surfing is supposed to be a restricted activity. But this was just disrespectful. Maybe I'm just in a pissy mood I wanted to slap her or throw something at her, but the last thing I need is rumors swirling about Autumn Harding being the next Naomi Campbell.

[Private.]
Is it really so much to ask to just not be asked about my love life? They can ask me anything else and I'm sure I'd answer, or just say that I'd rather keep the private, but when you say that about your love life, everyone always assumes that you are in a relationship. I don't even want that.

Why? Because I'm really not in one, but then again, I am. No other guy is even allowed to touch me, yes and I don't want any others to anyway, but he can touch anyone else all he wants. And probably does. He knows it would upset me if I knew that he did, but why would that stop him? I haven't said he can't because I know that would push him away.

And I don't want to be reminded about this time and time again when I'm trying to just forget it. I'm trying so hard to just take it as it comes. And the fact that I had to even ask her not to ask about that. I said no, that I wasn't in a relationship, but I'm sure you could see it in my face that I was lying. But was I?

I just wish the fucking circumstances were different. I wish I didn't have to deal with this shit anymore.

Surely I can find something better to do than sit in my hotel room in New York.

[Private.]
I really need to learn to keep my mouth shut. It seems like whenever I have a bad day and just assume the worst, he pops up out of the blue and makes me feel like a complete and total jerk. Not that I need help in that department, apparently.

He was shot weeks ago, and of course, I didn't know. He said it was because he didn't want to see the look on my face, which I took to me he didn't want to upset me. Sweetness aside, since I do fine that sweet in a way, and a good sign, it worries me. I want to know when something like that happens. If anything worse were to happen to him, I'd have no way of knowing at all. Sure, I know both of his cousins now, but they didn't tell me anything. In Leila's defense, I've only met her once, and she has no idea I'm dating seeing in a confusing relationship with in love with him. As for Dari... From what I gathered, they have a rather strained relationship at best, so maybe she doesn't even know. Point is, no one even really knows enough about our relationship to know to call me. Not to my knowledge, at least. I won't ever know unless he shows up weeks later and I nag him enough to get him to tell me. I does nothing at all to calm my nerves. I'm going to worry so much more now that before, if that's even possible. And he could be stuck in a hospital bed while I'm sitting at home, being selfish and whiny about not seeing him.

I will say this though: I think a lot of it had to do with the circumstances, but we barely fought this time. Both of us just... held back. We didn't want to fight, which is weird. For us, anyway. I just didn't feel like wasting time I could be spending with him bickering over something that's not going to ever get resolved, because both of us are too stubborn. And I like to think that's why he didn't argue either. I don't get to spend nearly as much time with him as I'd like, so why spoil that? I can count the number of times I've seen him in the last.. almost year since we've been... whatever we are on two hands.

...Is it sad that I haven't even attempted to move on? Pathetic that I already love the guy? True, I've known him a while now, but I haven't seen him very often at all.

Frankly, I'm sick of analyzing it, but my head won't stop it. I'm sick of having doubts in my head that don't need to be there. Actions speak louder than words, which is a warning label that he needs to come with. I'm just going to keep myself occupied, and just take it day by day, even through the bad days. Yay for me being a trooper. I wish that this was as hard on him as it is on me, but somehow I know it's not. I managed to stick to my promise to myself, and I didn't say 'I love you', but now I just keep wondering if he even noticed, or if he even cared.

Ugh. I need to turn off my brain.
[End Private.]

I love my job to no end, but some of the down sides kind of suck. Being a model, they don't really want you to have tattoos, and if you do, like myself, you have to have them in places that can be easily hidden. I keep wanting to get more, but I'm running out of places to get them. Well, I can think of a few places, but none where I want to have a tattoo.

I've got a photoshoot in New York really soon, and I'm thinking of taking the Harley instead of flying. Last time I did that was in February, and of course the surfing incident happened and I broke my wrist, so I couldn't drive it back. Here's to hoping that that doesn't happen again. I'm at least not planning on surfing, so we'll see.

[ music | Christian Bale :: Santa Fe ]

I had the day all to myself after a long while of constant, steady work, and I decided to just spend it inside watching musicals. Just any musical I owned really, and just sang along to them.

Sad thing is? The majority of the ones I own are sad. Moulin Rouge. The Phantom of the Opera. Rent! West Side Story. After spending a whole day watching those, I really need to move on to something that doesn't make me want to put a gun barrel in my mouth. Horrible to say, considering... I'm thinking Newsies is next. Can't go wrong with an adorable, singing Christian Bale.

[Private.]
The truth is, I know watching those movies would make me cry. I needed to cry, because I have all this... emotion pent up. And I'm sick of crying because I miss him. It's like I can't do it anymore.

I'm not saying I don't miss him, but it's just... getting to be easier, and I actually hate that. Three months. It's been three months that I've gone with nothing. No word, no phone calls... nothing. And the last time I saw him, he left me still paranoid that I was different to him. Maybe I am. Maybe he had time to think about it, and he thought that I genuinely am that way. I was pushed. Not seeing the man you love for... it was two months at that time, and I could only take so much. Now it's been three months, and it's like I'm just numb. I know he cares about me, but then again... Three months. Seriously. What the fuck else am I supposed to think? But I'm handling it differently this time. I'm just going to tell myself that I'm obviously okay without him, and he obviously doesn't miss me... So I should just move on with my life.

Not move on from him. I don't think that'll happen until he just tells me straight up that he doesn't love me. I just mean not think about him. Just try and be happy and independent. I had a life that didn't revolve around him before him, and it doesn't have to now. I can live without him. I just don't want to. My mom always told me not to cry over someone who won't cry over you. I understand that that's almost not even possible, since men are conditioned not to cry, and that it's for girls, but I'm just going to try and adhere to that. Crying over movies gives me a more legit reason than crying over someone who has no idea whether he loves me or not.

And on that subject, I made a promise to myself. I'm not saying it anymore. He knows, because I tell him every time I see him and call him, which isn't very often, but I've said it. I just don't think I can take the disappointment of not hearing him say it back. It may be a completely different case when I see him again... If I ever see him again... but I'm going to try. I've never tried to force him to say it to me, and I never, ever will, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt not to hear it.

I hate my horrible love life but I won't have it any other way. At least these people in the movies I'm watching have it so much worse. Maybe.

Wow. That's really sad about Ruslana Korshunova. I only was able to meet her just a few times, because we were employed by same agency in the US, but she was a nice girl, from what I could tell. Gorgeous, too. Not that that really matters, but she was.

It just makes you wonder what compels someone to do something like that. They say that she seemed in really good spirits when her friends last saw her, and she nailed a great gig in Paris. But I guess it also goes to show that even though you're a celebrity, and seem to have the world at your feet, it doesn't mean you're happy. Maybe I'm reading into it too much.

I'm going to go take a really long bath.

[ music | Rihanna :: Take a Bow ]

I love horror movies. I really do. Even the ones that you know are going to be cheesy enough to be simply funny.

...And then there are some that are just so lame that there's no getting around it.

I was really bored (hence me even bothering to talk about this over journals), and I decided to look up what horror movies they were working on, and some of the movies that they've even considered making sequels/prequels/remakes of make me just sort of cock my head to the side and wonder... "What are they thinking?" I know if a formula fits and there's a popular market, they want to do nothing but make money, but the fact that these movies even made an impression to spawn any further movies is beyond me.

Like Jeepers Creepers 3? The first one was scary until you actually see the Creeper. It's ruined from there. The second one was horrible.

And Lost Boys: The Tribe. The first one was amazing, and all this one is going to do is mess it up. They got the two Coreys back (which I love their show, by the way), but without Keifer? Nope. Not worth it.

And then there's the Saw franchise. There is a 5th one coming out in October, and a sixth one is in talks. I think that after the third one (and that's stretching it), they should have called it quits.

....


Seriously? Someone should give me something to do. I'm looking up movies I can't even see yet.

I know I'm like... almost a month late on this, but models can't really drop everything to go see a movie.

Anyone else disappointed in the new Indiana Jones movie? I'm not necessarily saying that I didn't like it. In fact, I really liked the majority of it, and I'm more than likely going to buy it when it comes out on DVD, but it was totally nothing like what I expected. I'm not going to give my reasons, because I'm not going to give it away for the whole two of you who haven't seen it, but yeah.

[Backdated to May 19th]
Excuse me while I rub in one little thing.



I. Was. There. And? I met them. Not once. Not twice. But three times.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen who bother to read these things. Autumn Vajra Harding, Victoria's Secret Angel, a "celebrity" in her own right, got a little starstruck. They were some of the sweetest guys I've ever met, though. It's just odd that I finally got to met someone that I idolized so much when I was younger. I met famous people everyday, but it was a little extra special this time. We all have that one, I guess.

I'm a little surprised that they actually decided to get back together, and not only that, but it was Donnie's idea. I don't know if any of you remember a little show called Bands Reunited back on VH1, that tried to reunite old bands from the past. Well, they tried that with NKOTB, and it failed. Donnie was the most adamant one about not wanting to do it. Probably because of his acting career, following in the footsteps of his brother, Marky Mark, which Donnie really is a great actor. I didn't realize that was him in The Sixth Sense until I watched it for the second time.

And can I just say that I love the fact that Donnie still wears the hat when he performs? Classic.

I guess all the world needs now is for Marky Mark to find his Funky Bunch again. The boy's also a good actor, but I miss the pants dropping. That was too fun. And I'm going to stop my incoherent fangirl ramblings now to say that I leave Boston tomorrow, and there better be something fun waiting for me when I get back home.

Nothing like a birthday to brighten my mood. I turned 27. Hopefully that doesn't mean younger models are going to start taking my place. They will eventually, of course, but I'm praying that won't be for a while.

While I was in New York, a few of my friends threw a surprise party for me. The one's that live up there anyway, so that was nice. I might have partied a little too hard though, because I was utterly beat once I got home to Chicago yesterday. Which may or may not be a sign that I'm starting to show my age. I almost slept my birthday away!

[Private]
But, in a way, I'm kind of glad I was tired, because if I hadn't have slept in? Then Ty wouldn't have had to wake me up when he came to see me today, and waking up to that definitely set the tone for the rest of the day. I doubt if it would have been as good of a day as it was. And also? Being woken up for Birthday Sex with an extremely hot, tempermental FBI agent has got to be one of the best birthday presents I've ever gotten, hands down.

And then just the night before, right when I got home, I found the bracelet he had sent me. So now I have two to chose from every morning, because I rarely take the one he got me for Christmas off. I knew it was from him, because he would do that sort of thing. Just send me something without a note.

I'm just happy he still wants to see me after my little... episode. I'm not stressed about that anymore.
[End Private]

Spent the day with some of my favorite people. Ty My brother and sister, my parents, and I talked to Rylee for a bit on the phone. And I have plans to see even more people! It's going to be like a big huge birthday week or something.

And of course, on the 16th, 17th, and 18th, it's off to New York City, East Rutherford, and Boston with Stacey! Since we're huge BlockHeads.

Well, now that Rylee went back to New Orleans, I have to get back to work. Real work this time, since my cast was taken off. Looks like I'll be headed to New York until Friday, and since my birthday is coming up, I need to decide what I want to do for it, still. And where I want to be. I might just end up spending time with my sister and brother. I feel like I haven't seen them in forever. I've really been wanting to go surfing again, though, just so I can "get back on the horse" (pun intended) as they say, but I can't do that in Chicago, of course. I don't have much time to decide. Just a week.

Eh. Even though it's late, and it's raining, I think I'm going to take the Harley out. I feel like I can't get enough of the outdoors lately.

Why can't there be a song about a girl named Autumn? Seriously. It's not an off the wall name, but it's also not incredibly common like, say, Jennifer or Jessica is.

I was just listening to Boston's "Amanda", and I realized that there's not a song, that I'm aware of, at least, that has my name in it. The closest there is is Fall Out Boy's "Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy", but they don't say the name once in the whole song.

Off the top of my head, I can think of:
Mandy
Sarah
Caroline
Amanda
Jude
Gloria
Jane
Sherry
Delilah
Jenny
Rosanna
Lola
Annie
Barbara Anne
Carrie
Billie Jean (Dude! That's more "oddball" than mine!)
Eileen
Eleanor Rigby (Even more odd!)
Prudence

So, if you find a song with Autumn in it, tell me? Or hell, give me a list of names I've forgotten. Why not, right?

Or better yet, do any of you have a song with your name in it?

Sometimes I wish I didn't wear my heart on my sleeve so much.

[Private]
I've tried pretending like it doesn't bother me. I've tried to have a good time. Well, I have had a good time. My date with Hayley was amazingly fun, and I'm sure as hell going to have fun with Rylee here soon, but...

I have to dwell on it at least once. Because I wouldn't be me otherwise. He thinks of me as a typical model now. He never had before, until I pulled my little stunt. So basically, yet again, I shot myself in the foot. I thought it would make things better. That I would feel independent. But I ended up upsetting Rylee, and making him think the worst of me. I don't know what to do. I'm not like that. I don't need attention, and I don't throw hissy fits when I don't get my way. I was pushed to the limit. That was it. I'm irrational, yes. I'm overly emotional, sure. But I can't help it if I wear my heart on my sleeve. When Rylee and him both get upset with me at the same time, it's bound to do something to me. I can even admit I was being selfish. I think that was what made me finally snap. But I wasn't trying to demand them give me attention. I didn't want them to give it to me.

I'm not blaming it on him, but I know I've lost a lot of confidence, which is not good. I usually create a character to be when I go on stage or when I'm in a photoshoot, one that matches the clothes. I can exude confidence, but... am I going to be able to make it believable if I don't feel it inside? Whether I'm acting or not?

It hurts so much to even say that, but I need it back.

I think what it boils down to is... I've never had to fight so hard for someone in my entire life. Things haven't always been easy for me, but... I go back and forth with what I think I should do, and it's driving me nuts. I know there's something there, and I know he knows it too, but how long is too long before I need to give up? I love him. I'm not going to ever really stop, as much as I want to, but I know I'm past the point where any self-respecting girl would have said 'See ya'. How long am I supposed to hold out before I realize that the "something" is love or not, on his end, anyway. But I don't know anyone else who's been in my situation. And it's not like I'll ever know if someone is, because I can't talk about it in detail. No one understands. But another part of me says that if I give up, I'd lose something I'll never get back. I don't want to give up something that could be the best thing to happen to me. Either I feel like the clingy, needy girl who has to be with someone to feel whole, and is foolishly being so incredibly blind that she can't see that the "something" is actually nothing. Or I feel like the girl who gave up way too easily. He doesn't talk about his feelings. He's the complete opposite of me. I need to remember that.

For now, I'm just going to fight. Not to make him love me. No. You can't force that on someone, and that is one thing I refuse to ever do. I'm going to fight to show him that I'm still the girl I was. I'm not the typical model. And it doesn't mean changing who I am, because I was already that girl. It's just a matter of not... doing something idiotic again.

I'm just going to take it day by day. That's all I can do at this point. Until I feel needed. Loved.
[End Private]

My date with Hayley was too much fun. Dressed in guy's clothes, dancing in the rain, jumped in the fountain, and played in the sprinkler. Now, that takes care of Friday. Now to find something fun to do Saturday.
