Things about Jessica's life that make it like a romantic comedy sans romance

- Living in non-air conditioned house with three other girls
- Token gay friend (the Will to my Grace)
- Token best friend who joins you for ice cream and rants at 3 a.m.
- Other token best friend that you ponder about life with over the phone
- Wishing for my own Mr. Darcy while watching several different versions of Pride and Prejudice
- Working two jobs/being a workaholic who's too busy for romance anyway
- Being hit on at the place where you get your oil changed
- Falling for guys who: string you along for a while, aren't as smart as you once thought, refuse to grow up, don't realize you're interested/don't live near you anyway so it'd never work out, are gay
- Not realizing what you had until it was long gone and someone else's
- Working in the media field (c'mon, everyone in those movies are journalists or PR flacks or advertisers, and I have no idea why)
- Crazy mother
- Understanding father who you talk to for hours unless you're mad at each other
- Sibling who doesn't get it because he's younger but he listens anyway
- Coffee addictions (mainly Starbucks)
- Random happenings that include breaking into one's own house, showing up at the wrong karaoke bar, reading in the park and realizing you're surrounded by couples
- Shoes and shopping
- Completely OCD about future, even though I know I can't control it
- Preferring Macs to PCs
- Backup life plans include teaching or some sort of venture into the performing arts

*list will be updated as more reasons pop up throughout the day
