[WP] Imagine a world where dating and job hunting are switched. Dating now involves sending emails and resumes, while people seeking employment frequent the hottest clubs.

The story for those who do not see it:

Katarina was his first love. She was the wild and utterly addictive experienced woman whom Victor learned every truth there is to his body. In between their epic lovemaking they'd watch anime on the old loved couch, along with Katarina's three dogs. They would debate for hours into the night, over all matters of subjects as they worked on various projects sketched into their Ideas Book. Together they would dream and create eloquent tattoos for Katarina's shop or to forever paint upon herself. Victor would have married her had she said yes.

Deep in the throes of a broken heart he sought out comfort and found a sad construction of it in Meredith, despite the protest of his worried loved ones. Meredith offered escape from life's sorrows and commitments, an answer to heartbreak. In between drug induced hazes Meredith would often scream (while holding a large bottle of moonshine) about the system and the Man, how the whole world was breaking because everybody was chasing the poison that was capitalism. When Victor tried to point out that she engaged in it every time she purchased alcohol or bought Woodstock tickets, she would scream at him until her face turned red and she spat liquor in his face. She lamented to him often about how she was getting old and wished for a baby - something Victor took every means to prevent happening. Victor finally got his wake up call when he found her high on heroin, turned her over to the police and sought the next road to move on to.

Victor limped for a few months until he found the ever fun-lowing Annabelle. Raised amongst generation and generations of athletes and Tailgaters, Annabelle loved, breathed, lived sports. Despite her alpha-male influenced methods for dealing with emotions, she gave Victor a means of restructuring his life and getting back to normal. Sure that 'normal' meant every social gathering happened at a sports bar, at someone's house for a game, at a football stadium and Tailgater parties, and Victor hated sports, but it was still more real human interaction than Victor had been exposed to in the last five or so months, and for that he was grateful. However as Victor slowly got his life back, both he and Annabelle realized they weren't meant to be (although, according to her, the sex was fantastic), and so both mutually agreed to part ways.

And now Victor once again seeks true love, for a Katarina that will say yes.
