I grinned at the girl as she said she was an artistic type of person plainly. "That's cool, I bet your art is very good" I said. When they brought up their dogs it it made me think of my little terrier, and border collie my parents made me leave behind. I ran my fingers over the bracket I had made that had their name on it. Milkshake, my little terrier, and cocoa my Shepard. They had to stay behind because my parents didn't want me bringing them. I sat down on the side walk crossing my legs, as I thought about the two. My baby boy's, my best friends. I played with my charm bracket and sighed. It was interesting hearing about two people passions. I never shared my unless someone asked, which wasn't very often. "Yeah, you must really miss you dogs"I said, I know I did. Biting my lip I gazed at the blades of grass

Male - Bisexual - Twenty-one

"Hello everyone, my name is Eleena Gray. I know kind of a funny name for a guy hu? But hey, that's my name and I like it so it's nothing strange for me. I don't got to many nicknames though, so if you don't like my name there's not much you can do about it. Some people I work for use the name Lee instead of Eleena so if you really got anything against my name just call me Lee I guess. Okay well, if it wasn't obvious enough from what I said earlier I'm a guy, a dude, a male, what ever else you would like to call me. Yeah my names a girl name and I've got some pretty long hair but hey I'm a guy. Uhm... What else is there for me to tell you? Well I'm twenty-one years old and single. I'm keeping my eyes open for that one though, that special guy or girl is out there for me some where. If I'll meet them or not I don't know, but that's why I'm here. To try and find that one person, while I all so fallow my dreams. Oh what's my dream you guys are wondering? Well I guess it's not so much a 'dream' because I'm all ready living it but... I'm a model, and I moved here because my work wanted me to move here for a shoot we were doing a while ago. I just fell in love with the city and ended up staying. My work transfered me over here perminetly and I've been doing shows here, flying out every now and then to do shows in other states and countrys. So yeah, I'm pretty much living my dream at the moment. What I'm doing is... Everything to me. Even if it's just standing there and getting my picture taken to most people, it's a whole lot more to me. It's my connection to my family back home that I miss so much. Remembering that they want me to do this, to fallow my dreams, is what keeps me from moving back home. I'm living my life the way I want, and I really couldn't be happier to know that I have their support the whole way. Other then my family I know I've got an amazing friend next to me here in New York. His names Alana, a guy with a just as girly name as I do. Hahaha. He's a cute little guy that means everything to me. Seriously. You know how much I said I care about my work? I would drop everything for Alana in a heart beat, he really means that much to me. He's the little brother I never had with me back home, so it's nice to have him close to me here now. Um... I've rambled on for to long now haven't I? Ahahaha sorry! I guess I'll shut up now! Bye bye everyone!"

Work in progress.

--He who refuses to listen cannot hear--

Silus had heard enough to get an inspiration and started tapping his pen against the paper in a quickened drum like rhythm that seemed as if it belonged with the loud crashing of the city. Once he had the idea, he began to write the bass notes he had tapped out. As he had finished the first line of his writing, he heard a girl a table or two over ask him what he was writing. Silus continued to write the next line to finish the rhythm before he lost it, then looked up at her and smiled slightly. "My inspiration? This -" he said looking up at the city and spreading out his arms as if to size up how much he heard. "This is my inspiration. I write what I hear", he said looking back at the girl. "I'll show you. Listen to the footsteps of all the people passing by. It's fast but repetitive. If you hear it right, it would make a good fast paced bass line to a song. All I do is add more layers", he said flipping through a few past pages that had things scribbled out, arrows going all over the place, little notes off to the side, and so many other things. To someone who didn't know how to read them, they would look like an encrypted message from one of those national treasure movies. Lucky enough, it didn't take Bill Gates to understand them.

(short posts.... so.... tired... I don't know about you, but i'm cuddling up with my animals and calling it a night. See you tomorrow lovelies!) (well, later today)

"I guess so," Shirley let out a light laugh. "Well if you aren't selling the good ones, of course you aren't getting paid enough. I bet the good ones are worth millions," she teased. "Yep, my internship is the same way. They're basically paying enough for rent and food, and my parents pay for the rest. It's funny, they act like they don't support my life choices and then they keep sending me money." She shook her head, not realizing she had told him so much. It was funny how easy it was to talk to him without feeling the slightest bit awkward. She felt like she could tell him anything...but she wouldn't. She noticed that he was still sitting with her, even though his drink was finished long ago. She made sure she didn't smile. He was enjoying her company, and she was pleased with that. She didn't get to have good conversations too often, at least, face to face. She still talked to her old friends, but they were all in college by now and busy with schoolwork and a social life.

Theo let a small laugh out, "At least your parents pay some for some of it. My parents cut me off long ago." He said somewhat sadly, he didn't really care for his parents, but seeing someone whose parents actually cared made him wish his did. (EMILY WAT R U DOIN.) Theo didn't really want to reveal to much about himself, but it just came out of him. He was really enjoying Shirley's company. He pulled out his phone to check the time, it was 8:45, he had been talking to her for 45 minutes. Time seemed to fly past with her. Normally when Theo was in Starbucks it seemed like 5 minutes was 5 hours. He put the phone back into his pocket and put his hands on the table.

Shirley nodded sympathetically. "My parents have a lot of money that they don't know what to do with, and it's kind of sad. I'd rather be independent, you know, but I can't refuse a thousand dollar check every month." She shrugged. She watched him check the time and cursed herself. "Do you have to be somewhere? I'm sorry I've been keeping you!" To tell the truth, she was glad for his company. Another bleak, lonely day lay ahead of her and she wasn't eager for him to leave, but she felt like they were stretching the time a little bit.

[ Oh thanks! Anyone open for Eleena? ]

[cucumber]

"Yeah, I wouldn't refuse a thousand dollar check every month." Theo said jokingly, "No, no, I don't have to be somewhere, it just feels like we've been here for five minutes, when it's actually been forty-five minutes." He was actually glad that he didn't have to be anywhere, his time with Shirley seemed too short now. He enjoyed her company, even if he had just met her. Theo shooed the thought away, he had come to New York City to become a famous artist, to make it in this world, not fall in love and not be able to achieve that dream. But maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't hurt to add someone into his life. He sat unsure about what to do, he didn't want to lead her on just to say he didn't like her, and he also didn't want to do something that would distract from his career.

"Great, I'm enjoying your company." Shirley said with a coy smile at him. "So, I think some history is due, here. Where were you born? Do you have any siblings?" Shirley really did want to get to know Theo. He was one of the only people she had met here that wasn't painfully rude or short, and she appreciated that more than she could express. She stirred her straw inside her now empty cup, pursing her lips slightly as she watched the remains of her tea swirl around in the bottom.

{ I think it's safe to put them down as crushes now, silhouettes. }
