Blog the first

So I've been told I have stories that must be told. Here, begins my blog.

I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Vanessa and I live in D.C. currently. I'm a waitress and God, do I hate serving people. The job is whatever...it's kind of what I want right now...good money, people my age, bull shit, I can get off when I need to... to do whatever the hell it is I do (I don't even know sometimes), etc. But, Jesus dealing with the public is a bitch.

Likes, dislikes...I don't know. I'm fanatical about The Office right now. I thought the season finale was genius...what would happen if Dwight took over...damn I was reeling after I watched that. What else, I like to travel even though I don't get to do it that often. I spent one semester studying in Florence and got to travel Europe a little, it was the time of my life. Other than that I guess you could say that I'm not exactly a glass half-full type of person. But hey, I examine the world around me as I see it.

I guess I should introduce the cast of characters in my life right now, too. I have 4 loveable roommates whom I shall refer to as the following:

Blondie-The other girl I live with. She has the master bedroom, a closetfull of nice clothes, a decent job, plenty of dudes she keeps around and still finds something to complain about every day. Has a keen sense of style. Our house would probably look like shit if it wasn't for her. Fond of the couch. Drinks a lot

Metro- The most feminine of the guys I live with. By all practical and theoretical standards you would think he is gay, but he's not. Listens to God knows what kind of music. I find him doing the weirdest things sometimes. Scratches a lot (he has dry skin) Minor, underlying power struggle between the two of us (I will revisit this topic)

?- The one I cannot get for the life of me. Perhaps a drifter. Messy. Always singing, but somehow unaware of it. Prone to hyper rationalizations and demonstrations of academic prowess. Would have been well suited to the beat movement.

Fratastic- Probably the cleanest of all of us. Preppy as shit...owns dozens of Lecoste and Ralph Lauren polo shirts that he wears sometimes with seer-sucker pants, collar popped. But completely aware of the masquerade he creates, as if posing as a satire of himself. Has a way with the ladies.

And another two worth mentioning...

Friend- One of my oldest friends. Been through a lot together. Not altogether sane, but who is? Delusional when it comes to guys, but is doing ok with her current relationship. Peculiar love of all things 80s. Has a bite in her that you would not see coming.

Sis- The sister I love and have tons of fun with. Quirky to say the least. Boozetown, USA, but hilarious. Currently with a guy that she pulls around like her own personal chaufer. Good taste in music. Packrat bag lady.

I say all this with love and want nothing but the best for these people. Also, if it helps...here's the cast I've chosen to play these roles in the movie:

Me: Zooey Deschanel
Blondie: Scarlet Johansen
Metro: Tofer Grace
?: Paul Rudd
Fratastic: Josh Hartnett
Friend: Ana Faris
Sis: Natalie Portman

So, here it begins.
