Happy New Year? Yeah, maybe not so much.
I've spent the past couple of weeks on the phone with more lawyers than I could ever care for. Turns out the agency that handled the adoption is shut down and "under investigation". And to make a long story short, that means some of orphans weren't orphans after all and rather sold by their own mothers for as little as $100. Which is illegal the last time anyone checked. It's highly unlikely that Maddox was one of them since we had a private investigator look into it before he was handed over to us but it's still so completely fucked and I'm just tired so that's why I sound so crass here.
The Strokes played Vegas on New Years so naturally we were all there. God, I am such a groupie. It was mostly good times. It was certainly better than hanging out in Egypt holding hands with Colin Farrell. Just kidding, darling, we must do it again. I'm really crazy about him but I've been seriously lagging in the whole, you know, letting him know area. I'm talking about Julian now by the way, I know right, I have so many lovers it's hard to keep track. Then after playing affectionate couple all night with several glasses of champagne past your limit you tend to get crazy ideas while in Vegas. I think we were seriously going to go through with it, until we had to make a quick stop to buy rings. Candy rings, no less, you know the kind with a great sparkling diamond and really tasty to boost. After this romantic moment at the hotel gift shop we decided it would be a waste of time to go out again so we held our own ceremony in our room. There will be no photographs any time soon, sorry. I woke up that morning feeling more content than I have in a long time. Sure it was silly but at least I have someone who is willing to be that silly with me. I ordered breakfast (orange juice and ice water) while he was still asleep and watched him wake up. It's impossible to sleep while someone is staring at you, random observation. I think it was the moment after he had rubbed his eyes, but before he yawned, I knew. The smile he sent in my direction, the way every feature of his took part in it, and I knew I wouldn't have minded marrying this boy for real. This was of course before it became trendy so thank god we didn't.
Next destination: Hawaii. The benefits of being a rock star, right. The honeymoon however was more real than I could ever hope for. They played some shows, Maddox and I played on the beach and it was nothing short of heavenly. But wait, I'm not done. Then I get THE call that my baby is having a baby. Insert lots of sighing and crying and generally sappy women related feelings. Kate gave birth to a baby boy and he is so beautiful. No one close to me has given birth before, I'm so completely in awe of her. I mean, before Maddox I hadn't even been around kids. She is looking more beautiful than ever and I'm so in love with both of them. We're all at her house in LA and I hate that I have to leave for New York soon. I guess this is where I say to Nikolai don't get any ideas Ryder is mine >:o
I like it when I can end entries on a positive note so I will do just that.
