"The Oscars are a big deal here at the Shelasky&amp;#x27;s. When we were kids we&amp;#x27;d throw faux pearls over our pajamas and eat appetizers in my parent&amp;#x27;s bed. Even though my mom doesn&amp;#x27;t know the difference between Matt Damon and Matt Dillon, and usually falls asleep early, it&amp;#x27;s still a favorite family ritual. Last year I was in LA, living it up with strapless dresses and black SUVs, but I&amp;#x27;m just as happy here, in sweatpants, a face mask and of course, those pretend pearls. I had a busy weekend -- 4 birthday parties and one too many greasy brunches. Is everyone a Pisces???? I mean, my Dad, all my ex-boyfriends, and most of my best friends! Such an fun/event-filled/fattening time of year -- catching up with old friends, old flames, etc. Haven&amp;#x27;t seen B in a while....no big deal....it was fun while it lasted and well, we&amp;#x27;ll see. So many of my friends are discontent with their work situation. Your comments really represent the majority! Lately I&amp;#x27;m thinking that &amp;amp;quot;entertainment journalism&amp;amp;quot; is the ideal genre for me.&amp;amp;nbsp; Ideally I&amp;#x27;d write big cover stories (like, whoever wrote the Liv Tyler piece for Glamour). But that goal feels a million miles away. A lot of you email me about kick-starting your own writing career, and my best advice is: hard-work, persistence and personal flair.&amp;amp;nbsp; Why can&amp;#x27;t I listen to my own advice? I have an old friend who&amp;#x27;s really smart with this stuff. He gives incredible advice. It sinks right in. He gets the media scene. He gets me. I&amp;#x27;m craving our talks. But here&amp;#x27;s the thing -- about a year ago he told me he had feelings for me. He felt like a teenager saying so, but he wanted to be &amp;amp;quot;more than friends.&amp;amp;quot; It took a lot for him to open that convo, and it didn&amp;#x27;t go the way he he hoped. Back then,&amp;amp;nbsp; I was intensely on and off with GD, and coudn&amp;#x27;t see three feet ahead of me, so I used that as an excuse (I probably should have been upfront: &amp;amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m not interested in you that way.&amp;amp;quot;). Then I moved to LA, and we haven&amp;#x27;t really hung out since. I&amp;#x27;m dying to reconnect with him, in a platonic way, but I&amp;#x27;m not sure if it&amp;#x27;s insensitive of me. I miss him. But is it selfish to start up a friendship with a man who once had feelings for me? Click here to vote"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
