We were never really big on Father's Day, anyway.

The (very) few people here in L.A. who know tell me they think I'm doing very well, considering the circumstances. I think I'm just good at keeping up appearances.

I still can't bring myself to delete his number from my cell.

Hi. My name is Melanie Conley. Of course that picture doesn't look like me, I'm 23 and it was taken when I was 15!

Haha. I didn't even have to use that line, although I had it carefully planned out. I win!

On a whim I went out with Robbie (the housemate) and his friend, Jay/Ray (can't really remember which it was) last night. Several drinks were purchased for me- being a girl does have it's perks, sometimes. The evening was surprisingly enjoyable considering the circumstances, and not as strange or awkward as I thought it would be. When Jay/Ray was in the bathroom, Robbie not-so-subtly asked, "So would you consider dating someone older, say, like, 30?". Haha.
