Oh my goodness! I have been receiving emails after emails after emails in response to The Cocaine Princess & The Lawyer Pt4.
Did I, the Cocaine Princess succumb to temptation or did I deny it? Did lawyer-guy awaken my inner seductiveness and unleash my every carnal desire for me to become the other woman? Apparently that's all you want to know along with some of you still wanting to know when I will reveal my face. So when will I reveal my face? All in good time. As for the other question, I was going to torture you for about a week but the fact that my email server was getting clogged I decided to post it today. You will find the answer within this entry.
For the past week the networks have been airing Christmas Specials: A Flintstone Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer, A Garfield Christmas, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (I love that one) Frosty The Snowman, Frosty's Winter Wonderland, Frosty Returns and of course The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. And for movies, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. I watch it every year and each time it gets funnier. At my house we watch Scarface, yes I said Scarface. Every Christmas morning after opening presents the movie Scarface is played. Others may watch 'It's A wonderful Life' or 'Miracle on 34th Street,' at my house it's watching Al Pacino play Tony Montana. 'Say hello to my little friend!' How did this tradition start? It's quite interesting but I will write about it another time. I assume by now you must be saying 'why is Cocaine Princess babbling about TV Christmas Specials! Did she or didn't she with lawyer-guy?! I'll get to it so just keep on reading boys and girls.
Last night I couldn't fall asleep again, there's a big surprise! At about 3am I felt hungry so I went down into the kitchen. I opened up the cupboards. One was filled with Doritos Nacho Cheese Chips and Sweet Chili Heat-(so good!), corn chips, cheese flavored popcorn, corn twists and four cans of Pringles and a bag of Cheetos. The other cupboard was stashed with a variety of chocolates: Reese Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kat, Turtles, Mr. Big, Ferro Rocher, a box of Godiva, Lindor and Icy Squares and double chocolate chip cookies. The fridge was worse: chocolate cake with mint frosting, carrot cake squares with creme cheese, apple crunch crumble cake, mini cheesecake slices, strawberries, black forest and chocolate swirl. I dared not to look in the freezer. Is it any wonder why so many people gain weight during the holidays. I opened up the first cupboard and took out the bag of Cheetos. I inhaled it first as if it was an oxygen mask and if I didn't have any will-power I would have ate the whole bag but I only took out one Cheeto stick and nibbled it slowly as I savored it. I licked the Cheetos dust off my fingers and decided to just eat a fruit bowl consisting of grapes, strawberries, cherries and a few pineapple chunks. I just imagined the fruit was covered in chocolate sauce.
Today is Sunday so of course there was no mail. But tomorrow the mail will be here. Usually when 'A' hands me the mail it's in two piles. One pile is full of Christmas cards, various magazines and catalogs while the other pile consists of rejection letters. Oh the agony of trying to get published. I know I am not the only writer who is going through this. A few entries ago someone made a comment about Paris Hilton's book Confessions of an Heiress. I saw it recently at the book store and thumbed through it. I of course had heard about it but never actually looked inside. My God it's such a simple book. Similar to a scrap book but only more fancier. As far as I know the book was very successful. If I had come up with this idea would it have been accepted or rejected by literary agents? I'm quite sure if Paris Hilton had proposed a book with blank pages in it a literary agent and publishing company would sign her and her book in an instant. It's all about celebrity power. Not to imply that all writers are celebrities but it certainly makes it easier for them to obtain a contract. But then again most are approached by a literary agent instead of the other way around. Who knows maybe a Christmas miracle will occur for me.
Are you bored yet readers? Are you scanning through this entry trying to find the answer? Either way you're going to have to keep on reading. We got blasted with an awful winter storm. I was at the mall yesterday when it started. It usually takes only 20 minutes to get home but with the storm causing white outs traffic was very slow it took my driver an hour. The storm is still in progress and will end tomorrow morning. We've been dumped with close to 25cm of snow and the wind chill is -21c. The snow is so heavy that it not only covered my Christmas tree lights but my nativity scene. Poor baby Jesus! As soon as the storm stops I'll get someone to unearth everything.
Valentina called me. The gift item she told daddy she wanted from the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog arrived. The parcel was sitting on his desk. She peaked inside. 'It's gorgeous!' she exclaimed. 'I sealed it back closed so daddy wouldn't know I opened it.' Mine had arrived two days earlier and is under my white fake Christmas tree with silver and pink decorations with a multitude of other presents. Besides that tree is another tree, a smaller one. It's an exact replica of the tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas complete with the red ornament and Linus's blue blanket around the bottom. I bought it in 2004 from Toys 'R' us along with Lucy and her psychiatric stand and Charlie Brown and the rest of the peanuts gang. I display it every year along with The Simpson's Christmas neighborhood display.
OK my loyal readers I think you've had enough. Now the answer all of you want to know so desperately. Let's recap: As we were leaving the restaurant it was starting to snow even more now. Lawyer-guy turned to me and said 'the snow is coming down hard. How about we wait it out?' 'Should we go back to the restaurant or how about the lobby bar?' I suggested. 'My firm keeps a suite in this hotel for out-of-town guests' he informed me. 'It has a beautiful view of Yorkville and I know for a fact it's not in use. How about I show you it and we can talk some more until the snow dies down? So what happened. Did I go up to the suite or didn't I? If I did, what happened between the two of us? To find the answer you are going to have to unscramble the letters. I tdno isks nda letl. I liwl taubo hosret ubt evrne lmsefy. ryors!!!!!!!!!
XOXOXOXO,
Cocaine Princess
P.S. One more thing. This has been bothering me for the past couple of days. I need to have my say: Shame, shame, shame on School Board for banning 'The Golden Compass' from their school libraries. I hope Santa Claus leaves each and everyone of you who voted against the novel a box full of reindeer turd!!!

Dearest Princess,
I have been a fan of your blog since the beginning but this is the first time I have posted a comment. I'm glad you decided against waiting a week to tell your story but at the same time you are a Latin minx the way you tease and makes us come back for more, the signs of a good writer.
What a fascinating and private world you live in. It's lovely of you to let us in your world.
I am a third year medical intern and I am a little concerned about you not being able to sleep. Not to alarm you but extended periods of sleep deprivation may lead to other health problems such as heart disease and diabetes. And never mix medication with alcohol in order to fall asleep no matter how desperate you are to sleep. Please consult your doctor as medical attention is what you should be seeking. Your problem seems to be more of a psychological one than a physical one. You are a writer who is under a lot of stress of trying to land a publishing deal. Worrying about things doesn't help, it only leads to more stress which will only make matters worse. Trust me as an intern I know. I work 18-20 hrs a day with only a few hours of sleep. You need to take time to relax and learn not to worry. I know it's something that is easier said than done. I believe in you and it's seems like you have quite a loyal fan base who believes in you. Learn to ignore any negative comments that 'he' says to you. Don't believe any word that comes out of his mouth and certainly never let him make you doubt yourself or make you feel down. Your best friend Valentina and her drug kingpin daddy adore you and love you like family, you're very lucky to have people like them. And all those literary agents who denied you, I'm quite sure they'll be kicking themselves when you make it big. You'll get that publishing deal. How do I know? I just do.
Kiss-Kiss

One more thing, I really like your pictures, very enticing. The one of you in the bikini leaning over the balcony and the one in the white and blue-green colored dress, I printed them off my computer and then had them enlarged. They are up in my locker. Some of the other interns have asked who the picture is of? I tell them, a beautiful model who's going to be make it big in the literary world. I can't see your face yet but I have a feeling you must be a knock out.
You gave me a headache !!!
Dnojsskpkfbau!
thanks for the entertaining reading! i love the pic of you in the black sheer dress...
I am a new reader.
I have been trapped on this computer chair reading and reading and reading.
I love your blog so much.
Good luck with those agents.
The quality that makes you shine so much, is the mystery and magic that surrounds you and your writings. I think the jumbled final sentence in this post was a fitting way to a fantastic piece. As well as being amazingly cute, you are quite a genius when it comes to keeping your readers on the edge of their seats.
Cocaine Princess, it is an honour and a privilege to call you a friend.
Best wishes ~ Graham xoxoxox
