zenn bites...

spent a quiet day at home today...continuing my anti-social behaviour...

have been reading quite alot these few days...find that books allow me to lose the real world, and enter a more 'steady & complete' realm - one with a beginning, a middle and a definite end...

curled up in bed to "running away from richard" today...by chris manby...about this struggling actress-wannabe (lizzie) whose artist boyfriend dumped her suddenly for a model...she leaves London for LA, and finds herself sharing a cockroach-infested house with an ex-housemate - who's exploring his more feminine side - and another struggling actress.

anyhows...the heartbroken lizzie (looks abit like lizard when typed this way) ends up:

- working as a waitress in a transvestite bar
- she impresses a director when she squeezes the balls of his asshole friend (who grabbed lizzie's breasts)
- the director offers her money to be his girlfriend for the day (he's gay, he has a bloody rich mum who doesn't want to know that he's gay)
- a day turned into a few weeks when his mum manipulated him into proposing to lizzie
- lizzie meets a dishy doctor
- director's mum forces them to marry by lying that she has cancer & will die anytime soon
- dishy doctor saves the day at lizzie's wedding by making a huge commotion and saying that it's all a cover-up (lizzie doesn't love dirrector, director loves his gay personal assistant, mummy isn't dying)
- lizzie returns to london
- lizzie goes to new york for a friend's wedding
- dishy doctor turns out to be friend's new wife's cousin
- happily ever after

it seems like there were alot going on in the story, now that i'm typing a summary of the plot down...well, it's a pretty thick book...but yah..kept me entertained for the better part of today...chickee books rule! haha
