Why....

I don't know why a person would start a blog, extreme narcissism, boredom, angst, anxiety, for fun, out of frustration?
I think that's where I will start..ya see..it's not a simple story. But, I'll tell you the basics. I live in DC, I'm 24 yrs old, I dabble in politics, have a dog, and I have been underemployed-that's working without decent pay at a non-career job for almost 6 months. That's right-6 months.
I am sometimes although not always on the verge of what my other 20 something friends jokingly call a midlife crisis or mid 20crisis. Why? High expectations for myself, from my parents, from friends, for life...too many bills and not really knowing if I will find the answers to my career problems...has made me well....nuts.
One other thing, I love to write, research papers, newspaper articles, fiction-I've written a book on my own, volumes of poetry and I am on the verge of finishing my first play since, I was 18 yrs old. Writing makes me happy because it feels so good...
So, that's how I came to start this blog, to talk about my escapades around DC. Spout off about politics and celebrities and try understand this weird spot I am in...I will try to explain in the next posting..how I came to DC..when three years ago, I was a movie obsessed kid living in LA talking about politics, great literature, and philosophy thinking I would change the world with my ideas...and now.. I live in DC, feel frustrated, can't find work in my field of interest(Media Relations)and worry that I am wasting my life....
I'm a fun girl-no really-I like to dance, love to socialize...I even just got a new boyfriend...so just give me a few minutes of your time..and please drop back by...
