The name of our blog B.S City life represents our names, Brittany and Sarah, and recently moving to Chicago. Since moving to Chicago the events in our lives are far from average, which gave us the idea of starting a blog. To catch everyone up on what has happened so far, we would like to give a 3 month summary.
We both recently graduated from college and moved to the city after luckily finding employment in this bad economy. One day when Sarah was walking to the train a bum approached her whispering jibberish in her ear. Upon returning home Sarah seemed quite disturbed saying she swears a bum had cursed her. Though being cursed began as a joke, the events that would soon follow would not be so funny.
We live in Wrigleyville which is one of the safer areas to live in the city. Being 2 young girls this was very important to us while apartment searching. Soon after moving in we went out on the town and came home to our dogs being outside. This raised a red flag to us since little dogs can not get through multiple doors themselves to enjoy the late night rain. Though in Sarah's state of mind she thought it would be perfectly safe to go in herself to investigate. After smartly being advised against that bright idea, we grabbed the dogs and ran to a local bar to call the police. YES, we were broken into 2 weeks after moving in.
Moving to a more sappy side of things, Brittany was dating a guy on and off for 8 months. This was a long distance relationship and until moving here. Now both being in the same city and taking distance out of the equation one would think it would be nothing but roses, but unfortunately it went down hill fast. This guy didn't turn out to be prince charming. It was found that he was living a double life and dating another girl the whole time. If that isn't bad enough while Brittany was hanging out with him a few things went missing out of her purse. Of course being naive the logical thought was that the purse had been pick pocketed. After finding out about his cheating the thought arose, did he do it? After seeing "the other girl" that decided to stay with the bastard out one night. I told her of my missing items (ipod, camera, etc) and to keep a close eye out if she saw them. Fortunately, Brittany got a call a few weeks later with her belongings found and his "new girl" was nice enough to return them. YES, I was ROBBED by my EX!
Sarah is what we call a serial dater, AKA goes on a lot of dates and never commits. Her parents call her dating life one big "Next" show. There's nothing juicy about this part just thought we would add it in since we got into Brittany's personal life.
Because everyone has the problem of crazy people renting out their parking lot for Cub's games and cab parking, Sarah woke one morning to find Brittany's car missing from the parking lot. The crazies who run this lot, didn't recognize her car and towed it costing $250. They didn't reimburse her saying, "Sometimes, this stuff happens." Yeah, and pigs fly too. YES, her car was towed out of her own paid for parking spot.
NEXT! Turning the big 23 it was Sarah's Birthday. We celebrated by having a girls dinner and having a wristband deal at a bar called STATE. The night was going great, friends, family, and boozing, what more could a birthday girl ask for. About half way through the night Brittany received a call from the fire department. The building that we live in was on fire caused by a cigarette being thrown into the outside bushes. Brittany rushes to Sarah and gives her the news and tells her we need to go home immediately. Being that it was Sarah's Birthday, she gave the normal response of fist pumping upon receiving the news. Brittany tried to relay the message to her again and the fist pumping continued, so instead of ruining Ms. Jersey Shore's good time, Brittany left to handle to situation by herself. The fire was put out and everything turned out to be fine. When Sarah finally came home from celebrating her comment to our smokey apartment was "Brittany, why the hell does our apartment smell like that?".... YES, Our apartment caught on FIRE!
For all of you who believe in Karma, we would like you to know, we have asked God for forgiveness for whatever we have done to deserve this! Ha We will keep you posted!
