WHO let The Jessicas get a blog?!

Oh, hey, internets. 
Mom? Ugh. How did you find this, Mom? You just had to get facebook, didn't you? Well, don't say we didn't warn you.


For anyone else, perhaps introductions are in order? We may be from the sexting-through-family-dinner generation, but we still have manners. We are The Jessicas. We are both actors. (Read: frequently unemployed.) We live together and we struggle together. Sometimes with each other. 
We have both recently relocated to Toronto from the beloved city of Halifax. And now here we are, little fish in the Big Pond.


You know how it is. Everyday we hustlin'. But not everyday, because sometimes we sleep in. Because hustlin' is really hard when you're hungover. Or broken hearted? That's why we're here. 'Cause life can be rough and life can be hilarious. In our case, it is usually both at once - or at least, we choose to see it that way. Well, not so much the rough part. We don't choose that. If we had a choice, we'd choose this scenario: we're walking down the street, maybe on our way to get a coffee and read really great books (because we're really smart and interesting. Obviously.) and some super important connections-y type stops us - "Wow. You girls both look really cool and talented. And SO PRETTY. You're both named Jessica? How delightful! Well, I would very much like to cast you in an award winning play - full of amazing, thought provoking dialogue and powerful female characters! Whaddaya say?! Yes, of course this is a paying job, silly!" But that has not yet happened. 


So, here we are, because sometimes sharing the ups and downs with each other is just not enough. We invite you to laugh at our expense. Plus, we're full of fucking awesome tips. Or, if nothing else, perhaps you can learn from our mistakes? 


This place is going to be full of great things. You'd like an example? Here's an anecdote for you.
We decide today is the day we will finally write our VERY FIRST BLOG POST. We get home to the usual saturday afternoon house-full at The Orphanage (oh, that's where we live. All in good time, my friends, all in good time.) We sit ourselves down and are offered beers from one of the current Orphans. Jess protests: "But I don't have a job!" Encouragement: "All the more reason to take this free beer!" She does. Beers in hand, we are now ready to begin. She suddenly gets up and runs from the room. Moments later she returns, walking with markedly less pep in her step. "...I just perioded in my pants." 


THAT'S RIGHT. You can look forward to much more of this. What? Gross? No, it's not! Periods happen, asshole!


Oh, and sometimes when we're lonely, we sleep in the same bed. Welcome to our world.
