Dear diary. Wow, it's been a while since I've written that. Unless my sex journal counts. Ignore that last part.. Do the words count if they're crossed out?

Anyway, this place is pretty great so far. Most of the people here seem really nice and lovely. Some people definitely have attitude though, but we can just stay out of their way for the most part, right? As far as I know, nobody's started any major dramas yet so they can't be that bad, anyway. There's a couple of girls that are so cute, like you just want to like pick them up and hug them forever or put them in your pocket or something. And if the people here aren't cute, they're hot. I don't see how everybody who comes on this show can be attractive? Unless only attractive twins exist. I'm going to support this theory for now.

I don't really have any stories to share, I don't think. Yet, anyway.  I mean, there is the first night I was here. I went out to the lounge and there was a girl there, drinking whiskey (her name's Echo, which is totally cute because she's the younger twin. Don't tell her that though, if looks could kill, I'd be six feet under from when I did..), so I had a drink with her. We started talking about random stuff, like high school. It came up that I used to be a cheerleader (head cheerleader, thank you very much), and I told her I could do the splits. She wanted proof, though looking back now I'm pretty sure she was just being cunning about it, so I showed her and we ended up sleeping together. Which is like the best way to be welcomed to a new place. I'm not as slutty as I sound, I swear. I just really like sex.

As much as I know I'm going to have a wicked fun time here, I do miss home. I miss my friends, but I am looking forward to making new ones. It'll be so cool hanging out with other twins for once. Speaking of twins, I miss my sister. It's not the same without her around, she's like my little mirror. I miss my mom too. Nobody makes food like mama does, even if it is weird vege crap half the time. The joys of having an ex-hippy as a parent. Oh, I should probably mention dad too. Hi daddy! If you ever see this. I might show you one day if you're lucky. Or maybe not, considering the references to my sex life. And I miss the horses. They say dog is man's best friend, but horse is woman's, and I completely agree with that.

I'm looking forward to exploring this place. Not just the house and grounds, but the city. LA, the city of angels. It's so different from Texas. In a good way, though. It shouldn't be too hard to figure this place out, right? I mean, I conquered Miami whenever we vacationed there, visiting the grandparents in the summer. I hope the parties here are as amazing as the ones there! Though I'm pretty sure nearly everyone in the house is under age. I mean, I'm twenty, but it's called a fake I.D. Tatum Kennedy, 23, pleasure to meet you ;) I wonder if anyone else put smiley faces in their entry.

I think that's about it for now. I'm just excited about this whole thing. Oh God, it's going to be even better when my twin gets here! Then the party can start.

Wow, I didn't even ramble as much as I thought I would!

Dear diary.. Part of me just really likes the alliteration that comes with that; dear diary. Anyway, so we're all meant to be writing about our time here so far. Thoughts, feelings, friendships., just anything, really

I don't really know what to say about it though. Not much has happened with me.

Maybe let's start with LA itself? I don't know why I wrote that in the form of a question, you're an inanimate object, no offence, so it's not like you're going to answer me. This isn't Harry Potter. Back on topic- LA's beautiful. Everything just seems so bright and vibrant here. The scenery's amazing, I can't wait to explore it more. It's so different from New York though, I miss it back there. I guess it's kind of like when I moved from England to New York in a way, it all just takes getting used to. I'm looking forward to checking out the food and shopping here, I love how it's all so different depending on where you are in the world.

Now, people.. I've talked to a few people in the house, some of them are really nice, which I'm glad about. I don't want to risk going near the.. Edgier ones, I'm awkward enough as it is. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say I've made any friends though, which doesn't surprise me. I mean, there is this one boy, Lance. He's quite lovely. If you ignore the fact that we met when I said the house was huge and he asked if I wanted to see something else that was big. He backed off quickly though, and that's the important thing. The boy's a genius when it comes to hot chocolate, too. I haven't seen him in a little while though, I hope everything's okay. He's probably the one I've talked to the most here. I think most of the other people might like secluding themselves, which I completely understand. A big place like this gets lonely easy is all, so I hope I become friends with at least a few people. On a side note, t's kind of interesting that most people here seem to be non-straight.

I don't think I can really comment on missing people from home. My family are still in England, so I'm away from them anyway. I haven't really made friends in New York, I mainly stayed holed up in my apartment, working on my art, or walking around aimlessly to find inspiration for it. And taking photos, I love photography, too. I suppose it could be a good thing not really having friends back home, it saves you from missing anyone. I do miss Bella and Lucy, my kittens, if that counts. And I definitely think it should, they're my babies. I miss New York too, I think I prefer the weather there, even though it is gorgeous here.

At least while things are still quiet here, I can take in the beauty of the city of angels and draw it, maybe even do some painting. May as well take advantage of the peace, who knows, things might get crazy around here once the place starts filling up.
