I've been keeping this journal for a year now.

I've changed so much and gone through too much.

It all goes by so quickly.

edit or a year tomorrow. my bad.

Do you ever wish, even for a brief moment, that there could be clones of you, eac h one living your life every which way you chose, and the path that works out the best, is the life you choose to live?

I suppose that would take out the surprise element, and that whole being responsible for your actions bit.

But it would save alot of trouble and heartache.

I'm going from city to city seeing each great work of art.

Taking it all in.

Making sure I see it before I die.

This explains why I didn't update in 5 weeks.

I never actually made it to the Bahamas.

I sat at an airport bar in Paris, drinking gin and tonics with an old business man who was waiting for a delayed flight to get back to his family in the states. He had no idea who I was, and that did not bother me in the slightest. I hid myself from the ever present paparazzi by choosing a dark corner booth and wearing a hat low on my eyes.

This old man, I never did catch his name, mistook me for a poor traveling college student and picked up the tab, even though he had told me his family had fallen on hard times. I felt guilty as he handed over the remaining bits of his currency to the barkeep.

I knew I had more enough in my pocket to pay the tab, and I felt terribly guilty as I saw him board his plane.

I still do not know why I flew commercial.

However, I'm in Paris. Wandering about. What a life I lead.

Tue, 06 Jan 2004 03:38:34 GMT

The Bahamas has over 700 islands, or so I hear.

I'm making it my goal to visit each and every one of them,if that is at all possible. However, I make it a point to overcome the impossible.

While I travel the Bahamas, I will consume an incredibly high number of margaritas.

What has my life become?

The holidays usually depress me, but this year was a welcome surprise.

I got my family all the could've asked for, and they were truly appreciative of my efforts. I spent the day yesterday stuffing my self silly with sweets and watching Disney movies with my younger siblings. I am truly a child at heart.

I saw photos of Harry yesterday with his family. He's so cute. I miss him.

I am sick of the cold, I want to go on a cruise of the Caribbean.

One of my most favourite things to do is lay in the bathtub and let the water cover my face with the exception of my nose, so I can still breathe, and just lay there. It is calming and relaxing and just allows me to focus.

I am going to Paris. I am going to drink only champange and speak only French. When you see a photo of a drunken Athina on the cover of Hello! giving the camera the finger and wearing a horribly fake pashmina scarf, know I wanted it to be that way.

Fri, 05 Dec 2003 14:08:29 GMT

Just to let everyone know, I am still here, I am not going anywhere. Hell, I just made another lame update last night!

Besides, this Athina, athina_roussel thinks she is with that gold digger Doda, when ovbiously, I am over the moon for prince_harry.

I do not know why someone would want to be me for crying out loud.

Fri, 05 Dec 2003 03:42:12 GMT

What was my mother, God rest her soul, thinking when she named me Athina?

Please do not get me wrong, I love my name, but don't you think it is a bit much to live up to? Athena, is the goddess of love, I do not think, the way she substitues the i for the e, makes any difference.

Am I a love goddess?

Not exactly.

And, my icons have not gone idle yet :(

Wed, 03 Dec 2003 20:16:29 GMT

My paid account expires today. That does not really upset, because I do not update frequently enough for so many icons. I am just excited to find which icons they still allow me to use.

I am amused easily.

Switzerland is beautiful in December. Since, today is the first day in December, I woke up extremely happy and excited.

I love starting the day in a happy mood.

It is almost time for the holidays, which mean I'm due for a nice long holiday vacation somewhere.

I think I am going to try and ring Harry.

I miss him.

Mon, 24 Nov 2003 04:18:28 GMT

Shopping used to be my cure all. Every time I found myself getting the slightest bit sad, I would hop in a car and get myself to the nearest boutique and buy, buy, buy. The sound of the register, and the smell of new clothes would automatically bring a smile to my face.

Shopping doesn't do it for my anymore. I did some Christmas shopping today,and it made me sad. Maybe it was just the weather, or the fact that the sales people were pushy today.

Maybe I will like it tomorrow.

I keep talking about going away and taking a holiday somewhere, even though I've just gotten back from the most fantastic holiday anyone can take with Harry.

I'm getting restless again.

I mentioned the idea of going on a another trip to my father last night over dinner and he simply rolled his eyes, and asked why I could no stay in one place for a considerable amount of time. I don't know why I can't just stay home.

As silly as it sounds, I know there is a whole wide world out there. I want to explore it.

I miss Harry terribly. I always expect him to be there when I wake up, or make me laugh with a quick joke when I suddenly I'm down.

Wed, 05 Nov 2003 15:02:24 GMT

I really just spent a 30 minutes staring at the wall.

This has become a sort of after the shower ritual. I sit on the edge of my bed in my robe, and stare at the wall. Usually, I'll get dressed and think of something to do.

Yesterday I sat out by the lake and tried to read, but I just could not concentrate. Thoughts have been running through my head at the speed of light, and I just do not have the brain power to sort through them all logically.

I have been giving thought to university. Should I go? Money does not constitute knowledge, and I would hate to be the uneducated heiress.

I think I will go to Paris or Rome and sort things out.

When I turned 18, people made a big deal about it. A huge deal. All the eyes of the world were on me. People kept saying, the Onassis dynasty was back, and I was the Queen and I was in control. The only thing I was in control of was a bank account. I was not in control of myself.

I am not an attention seeker. Experience has taught me that if you pose for the cameras and give them what they want, they will leave you alone. Yet, I find I cannot do that sometimes. I see a camera in the distance, and I go on living my life as if it were not there, but I am always aware.

Part of me wonders why they care. Why do they care about me? I am not flashy like my mother and my grandfather. I do not seek the attention.

I do understand it is a part of my life. God has blessed me with this money, even though at times I thought it to have been a curse.

I have been spending my time reading good books and riding. And of course missing Harry, despite the fact we talk on the telephone constantly. I count down the seconds until I can see him again. This is a lot of counting, because I have got no idea when I will see him again.

Tue, 21 Oct 2003 22:57:08 GMT

I am back home.

I'm slowly trying to ease myself back into some sort of routine, but I am constantly feeling restless. Every second with Harry was kind of like an adventure, and there was never a dull moment. But at home, I'm faced with dull moment after dull moment. Don't get me wrong, I love being home and I did miss my family greatly. Especially my sister, Sandrine. She has grown so much since I had last seen her. Last night, we found ourselves talking until very early in the morning, and I realized how much I missed in her life, and how much she missed in mine.

Experiences can definitely change how a person, acts and feels. My experience with Harry has changed me, but changed me for the better, I think. I feel like a new Athina. The best part is, the exprience isn't over. Even though we're separated for now, I know we'll see each other soon, and I'll be counting the seconds until then. I never thought I could miss someone like I miss him.

I suppose I will be getting back into the swing of things. Catching up with my family and of course, riding. I went to the stables this morning, and rode for a bit and I can't believe I had let myself go without it for so long.

I'm having dinner with my father, I think we shall play a little bit of catch up. I have got a lot to fill him in on.

*kisses*

Mon, 06 Oct 2003 23:01:04 GMT

My darling Harry bought me a paid account, and I love him for it, and of course love him for other things.

I think I should be heading home soon. It will be good to see my family, do some riding.

But naturally, I will miss Harry terribly.

*kisses*

Thu, 02 Oct 2003 04:08:41 GMT

The drop in temperture today signals the inevtiable end of summer, and the end of my wonderful holiday with Harry. I must admit, I knew I was going to have alot of fun, because Harry is just a fun guy to be around. But I didn't expect to find someone as perfect, sweet and I'll pull the shallow card and say, as good looking as he is.

I also must admit I am a bit scared about going home. In America we can be Harry and Athina, two kids just having the time of our lives. But back in Europe I'm Athina the heiress and he's Prince Harry.

Will things work out? I hope they do.

I really do.

*kisses*

There is a pretty good chance I am in heaven at the moment. I keep smiling and I just can't seem to stop myself.

Sometimes we just take long walks, and our security is pretty good about letting us walk a little bit ahead of them, so it's like we're in our own little world. But I think that they could be right at my side, pulling me along by my arm, and all I would be able to see is him.

My father called yesterday. He said, "Athina, you've been gone for nearly two months, I think it is time to come home." I almost told him, I think I already am home. Home feels like wherever he is.

I should probably go home soon. But I am too happy, and I think that if I leave, it will all end. I'm scared it is a dream, and any second now I will wake up and none of it will have happened.

[I'm aware the girl in the picture with Harry is not Athina, but I was so bored and I saw that and thought oh wow, what the heck, I'll make it an icon. If it's too weird and it offends someone, namely Harry shaped, I'll be happy to take it off :D]

Mon, 15 Sep 2003 15:10:03 GMT

Happy Birthday, Harry!
