Allow me to...

This is all made up. None of it's real. God, doesn't it feel that way, sometimes? Like it's all in the hands of someone else? Well, no more. Nope. Today it changes.

Sorry, I'm kinda getting ahead of myself here. I'm V, nice to meet you too, and this is my new blog that you are reading. It's not one of those blogs that's just talking about life in general cuz GOD those can be so boring, right? This is actually going to (hopefully) chronicle something new in my life, something specific. Yes, something in my post-breakup life. I know, I know, big cliche. Not like my pre-breakup life was "da bomb" or whatever. Things with the ex-boy were okay, sometimes they were really really good but thats all over now.

I'm being sorta cryptic, huh? Don't worry, I'll get to the point soon. I'm not going to waste a bunch of your time. I do have to tell you a couple things about myself first.

I live in Los Angeles. By myself. The ex-boy has Parker (that's the cat), but I still get visitation rights. I was supposed to get Parker in the break-up, but ex-boy refused to pay cat-support and I knew I couldn't keep him happy and healthy on my temp salary (Parker, that is. Not ex-boy. I don't think any salary could keep him happy.) So ex-boy (let's call him M) gets to keep the cat, and I am allowed to see him every other weekend.

I spend most of my time these days reading scripts by the pool in the apartment complex, but it's been getting cold lately, so I've transferred my "office" to the hot-tub. I read scripts for an independent producer. She's married to a Big Famous Actor and is really busy and can't possibly get through all the scripts by herself, so I help her out by weeding out the riff-raff. It's a cool job but it doesn't pay very much so I also temp here and there.

I drive a Jeep. The Jeep is named Edward, and he is white with cow-print seat covers. I bought Edward when I first moved out here two years ago. I totally couldn't afford him at the time but a girl needs a bad-ass car to get her through the big crazy city, right?

But I digress. I'm starting this blog because I'm starting a new chapter in my life and I feel that it's important enough to chronicle. After the split with M, I got to wondering about stuff. I started living on my own and realized that I don't need a man in my life to make me complete. I'm fine the way I am! I took a look around and noticed that what I really do enjoy is spending time with my friends. My GIRL-friends. And I was up late talking and drinking with my gay-boy friend G last night and I had an epiphany - What I need is more women in my life! Yes! WOMEN! Get what I'm saying? WOMEN! So this blog is to help me and hopefully help my readers start to understand what it's like to be....well...me. A girl on her own in a big crazy city, learning about herself, about life, love, and the pursuit of a great shag.
