Introduction to Suz and Ash. (Written by Suz.)

I've always found it incredibly annoying how every average Joe out there seems to believe that he/she deserves a personal blog, and that people will read about their "extraordinarily fascinating" lives in shock and awe.  (News flash:  No one wants to read a 700 word post about your cat.  You know who you are.)  Yet here I am thinking that the lives of me and my roommate are interesting enough to share with whoever happens to stumble upon our little pinch of cyberspace.  So instead of trying to write a long introduction like... oh... say... every other blogger out there, I'm going to list 5 reasons why we deserve to have our voices heard.

Reasons Why This Blog Deserves to Exist:

1.  My roommate (Ash) and I are intelligent young college students who find ourselves in the most bizarre situations as we juggle the many responsibilities life throws at us.  Ash is a self-proclaimed bio nerd who works as a tutor for the university.  I am a hospitality major and just yesterday I started my job at an upscale restaurant that caters to some of Greenville's high-end clientele.
2.  Although I could probably blog simply about our academic and work lives and still manage to keep things interesting, I should probably mention that Ash and I, like many college students, are heavy partiers.  But we don't just go out, get drunk, and dance around a club until we get tired and go home.  We go out, get drunk, and manage to say/do inappropriate things to all those unfortunate enough to cross our paths.  Example:  Just last Wednesday (Wednesday???  Really?!), I somehow managed to get absolutely shitfaced at a local bar and told some old man who was hitting on me that the only time he has ever had sex was when he paid for it.  Poor guy.
3.  We have notebooks scattered all over our apartment with "lists" in them.  Some of them list stupid things she and I have said, some list stupid things boys have said to us, some list "rules to live by" that we've created from past experiences, and at one point I even had a list called "Shit My Boyfriend Says."  (Fortunately I finally dumped that one, so the list is no longer active.)  A blog is the perfect outlet for these amusing and instructive lists.
4.  Although the two of us are the only ones that the blog features, our lives are littered with the most interesting people.  Roommate #3, for example, has her own list of drunken adventures that you will hear about secondhand.  (Uhh, like the time she was so drunk that she didn't notice I poured her whiskey out and replaced it with unsweet tea?)  We also have an overabundance of interesting men in our lives.
5.  Ash and I are incredibly quirky.  On the surface we look like your average college party girls, but once you set foot in apartment 308 you realize how deep the rabbit hole goes.  It's almost like an alternate universe, where creepy cat clocks and stuffed possums watch your every move (Suz), and Jurassic Park is not only a movie, but way of life (Ash).

If that list doesn't justify a personal blog being written, I have no idea what does. We're like one of those indie movies that doesn't have an actual plot, but the characters are so interesting you watch it anyways.  The Napoleon Dynamite of the blogging world. 


So stay posted.  Eventually we'll figure how deep the rabbit hole goes.
