Ah, been neglecting this thing as usual. For all that I said I would take a break, said break didn't really happen as planned. Was gonna have a picnic with Ralph Fiennes, but we both had to reschedule things and everyone knows how horrible I am at keeping in touch. Mr. Fiennes, if you're out there, I'd love to actually have that picnic before the weather goes to hell. I was also thinking of resting from work, yeah? But no, of course not. Research for my documentary, stuff, stuff, and more stuff. And now I'm going to England in a week or so to do some final stuff for Pride and Prejudice and then back to LA for Pirates. Anyone wanna hang out before I leave, or when I'm in England. Oy, Billy, you around? Getting from London to Glasgow sounds much more manageable than LA to Glasgow, so we should maybe see each other when I'm there? Let me know!

[takes place on Tuesday, August 3rd, shortly after Ralph's last post...no link because I can't make it work at the moment.]
Keira is in the shower when she hears the phone ring. By the time she's out, the answering machine is flashing, telling her she has a new voice mail. Ralph's message would be funny, with the random girl
screaming in the background, if it wasn't quite so concerning. Keira picks up her phone and dials Ralph, getting, quite predictably, his
voice mail.
"Ralph, this is Keira," she says urgently. "I hope you're ok...your message sounded like you were in some sort of accident or something. Listen, don't worry about the picnic. We can reschedule for another time. Just call me and let me know that you're alright, yeah?"
She hangs up and sits down next to the phone for a minute, then goes to blow dry her hair.

Hi Ralph, it's Keira. *chuckles* We seem to be playing note/phone tag, don't we? It'll be nice to actually talk to you in real time!
Tuesday afternoon is perfect. Thanks for your concern with the cooking and all...it's quite nice not to have any responsibilities, I admit. I'd love to hit a beach, if you don't mind. It would be very nice to get some sunshine. My tan has become completely non-existent recently, which is a shame, considering I live in LA.
I'm looking forward to actually meeting you! Hopefully, I'll be a little less out of it than I've been recently...you can tell how spacey I am, what, with how your joke went completely over my head.
Enough of my rampbling...see you soon!

Mr. Anderson,
No worries about getting my e-mail address from Orlando. I trust that he wouldn't give it to anyone I wouldn't want having it.
I'm flattered that you thought of me for your project and am quite curious about the details. My schedule is rather hectic right now, but I'm hoping it settles itself down shortly. Do let me know more about the movie!
Sincerely,
Keira Knightley

Thank you for the invite and the gorgeous mugs, Ralph! I have just the place to put them so that they can be properly shown off to visitors. I have to admit, I'm a tad puzzled about the "clean" remark, but that's ok, I'm sure you can explain it to me when we do meet. And yes, you'd definitely do as a picnic companion! When would you like to go? I'm pretty much free all week, now that I'm finally taking a break from work.
Take care and thanks again,
Keira

private entry
I was bored and mopey last night, so I decided that the best solution would be to watch a film with a hot bloke and drink wine. Sounds great, except in the middle of the movie (Queen of the Damned, Stuart Townsend, yum!), I suddenly realized how much I miss my friends, especially Orli and Billy. I haven't talked to Orli in ages...heard he was in LA, but somehow haven't gotten things together enough to get in touch with him. He was always so nice to me, such a caring person. And Billy...the perfect gentleman and amazingly good in bed. Heh. We had a sweet little thing going and I've let it drift away. Not good, not good at all. Silly me.
But, on a happy note, Ralph Fiennes, the gorgeous actor, has commented in my journal! Sexy man! Definitely excited to meet him!

Once again neglecting the journal, but such is life, right? I'm glad to be working and doing all the stuff I'm doing, but with all that, there's no time to hang out and relax and just...be, you know? I think I'm gonna take a breather these next couple of weeks, catch up with old friends and forget about work-related stuff, if only for a little bit. Anyone wanna hang out, something low-key, like a picnic or a coffee break? Mmm...coffee...sounds heavenly right now. Off to search the house for a clean mug!

Wow, been neglecting this thing, haven't I? Not that a lot of people I know even read this, but still, I got a journal and I should write in it. Been quite busy lately, what with doing research for a documentary I want to write (shh, it's super secret still, don't tell!), auditioning for stuff, settling in LA, all the fun things that come with a hectic life. I have a feeling it'll only get worse before it gets better, but I have to say, life hasn't been this much fun since...well, since filming Pirates, really. I'm busy, I'm glowing, life is good...and one day soon, I hope I have time to sit down and actually breathe for a bit. Not counting on it for a while, really, but one can hope, no?

Wow, haven't journaled in ages! Life's been a bit busy the last couple of weeks, no time for the comp. Having so much fun, though! Living with Alex is a blast, like a sleepover all the time. She's been so great, helping me unpack, going shopping, decorating, all the girl stuff. So awesome!
I've also made a new friend since arriving in LA, the wonderful Billy Boyd. *Blush* Let's just say he's lots of fun.
I want to go to New York in a couple of weeks, visit the city, but I don't know anyone there, so any recomendations will be very welcome. Also, if anyone here in LA wants to hang out, I'm all for it! So many of my friends are gone doing publicity...I may have to go visit them at some point...maybe when they're in NYC...can combine my trips.
Yeah, life rocks.

*slightly breathless and giddy sounding*
Orlando! I'm finally in LA, can you believe it? Sorry I missed you at Alex's, but I just couldn't get an earlier flight. Too much to take care of, you know how it is.
I want to see you, hon! When are you free to go out for drinks? Call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx!
See you soon, right?
*she's about to hang up, then remembers something*
Oh, and Orli? Skinny dipping would be a blast! Just tell me when and where, gorgeous!

| Keira and Billy, morning of 11/20 |
[20 Nov 2003|09:48am] |
[players, not pups, unless someone was at LAX or the beach in Malibu and saw them]
Keira’s been on the airplane for eleven hours straight, so as soon as the plane lands, she’s on her feet and out the door. She’s excited to finally be in LA, but the excitement is somewhat tempered by the fact that she’s been sitting for so long and her body, still on London time, is insisting she lay down and sleep. She gets her luggage at the baggage claim, thankful that she had most of her things shipped straight to Alex’s. As she goes through customs, she notices Billy and smiles as she walks towards him.
( They meet, they talk, they hang out )
They walk closer to the waves, enjoying the sunshine and the light breeze. Keira wades in to her ankles, laughing and beckoning Billy to come in, too. He joins her briefly, but gets back out when an unexpected wave hits the bottom of his rolled-up trousers, and Keira follows.
( Sitting at the beach )
They walk back to the car in comfortable silence, holding hands. Keira drifts off a bit on the ride back, much to Billy’s amusement. They exchange a quick hug and kiss, and Keira goes inside, tired but very content. As she settles down for her nap, she smiles to herself, thinking about the upcoming dinner with Billy.

Subject: coming to LA
Hey Alex,
I've gotten tickets to LA! Aren't you proud of me? Sorry, I'm very happy about it...I love London, but I very much need a change of pace, and I think LA will be just the thing. I've got my flight times and all that. I'm to arrive at 9:30 in the morning on the 20th, and the lovely Billy Boyd will be collecting me at the airport. I imagine we'll want to chat (or perhaps more? a girl can hope!) for a bit, and then he'll take me to your place. The address is xxx, x Street, right?
Have fun with Orlando, you naughty girl! *Nudge and big grin* It's too bad I won't be there, but maybe I'll see him in the morning?
Oh, and I hope the bed and all the stuff that goes with it arrives safe and sound. I talked to the company, and they promised competent delivery boys!
Can't wait to see you!
Love,
Keira

Hi Billy,
Well, I've finally purchased my tickets to LA. I'm rather excited about moving, but a little nervous, too. I'm glad I won't be in the huge city alone, that's for sure. I'll be staying at Alex's place, she's a sweetie for letting me do that. I don't think she'll be able to collect me from the airport, though, so I'll have to take you up on your generous offer. Here's my info:
British Airways flight xxx, arrving in LA 11/20/2003 at 9:30am.
I'm sure we'll recognize each other at the airport, but in case something goes wrong, I'll make sure to turn my mobile on as soon as we've landed.
Thanks so much, Billy! I'm looking forward to actually meeting you in person and getting to know you better!
Warmly,
Keira

So excited about moving to LA! Because it's LA, of course, but also because I can't wait to see (and hopefully more!) Orli, visit Dom, and finally meet Billy! He sounded so sweet on the phone...and that accent! Yum, definite yum. And of course, there's probably many more people to meet. Ah, the possibilities.
Odd thought: Alex Kingston is hot. Why am I noticing how hot a woman is? Why is it not really bothering me? Interesting...
