What took me so long to do this??

Here it is, my first blog entry. It took me a long time to actually decide to blog. I thought about it for a long time when I first got to D.C., but I kept getting hung up on the title, so I kind of let the idea go for a while. But then I realized that EVERYONE wants to know details about what I'm doing here, so a blog will probably be the best way for people who care (which, quite honestly, I don't know why you would), to see what silly shenanigans I'm getting into here in the District.

So most of you already know about my celebrity sightings. It's a big joke here that D.C. is "Ugly Hollywood." And considering my obsession with Perez Hilton, you'd think I'd be pretty mad about that...well, I'm not. Being in D.C. is like celebrity heaven. Every person I see or run into has actually done something amazing and they're really the kind of people who Perez needs to talk about. And for those of you who hate my Perez obsession, I'm slowly being weaned off of his website! I don't know nearly as much as I used to about the world of celebrities :(...Most of you have heard about my sightings so far so I'll just list them here:

1) Neil Armstrong (Yes, the first man to walk on the Moon!)

2) Mariska Hargitay (Detective Benson for Law and Order: SVU...she is STUNNING in real life)

3) Madeleine Albright (Definitely unexpected and a really mind-blowing experience. She was one of the women who really helped influence my political aspirations)

4) Elena Kagan (Yes, Solicitor General and Obama's SCOTUS nomination....SHE SAID HI TO ME!)

I'm pretty lucky. I've seen some amazing people and I have no clue who else I'm going to be seeing in the future, but I can't wait. Washington D.C. is an amazing city. History, parties, politics, celebrities. This city actually has EVERYTHING. And I'm really lucky because I've made some great friends too. Don't worry, you'll hear all about them.

So I don't want to make this post too long, but I'll probably do a couple of posts tomorrow. I want to introduce you all to my co-workers and show you my apartment and the rest the fun things I've been doing.

Thanks for reading!
