thanks!

OK people, just for the record, this isn't a thing where I am asking you to say nice things about me. I was basically assuming people would say "dude could you maybe condense it sometimes a little bit? For real."

...say nice things about my Dick, dude.

I'm starting to think it's better to have a crappy life in california than a good life in a wintery place.

I strongly suspect this is true. When I am in California even people with crappy jobs at coffee bars seem to be happier than most people on the East Coast.

I wish I could live there. It's exhausting how much time I spend thinking about the weather - what to wear, whether I will have to drive in the snow, how cruel it is that it is raining on my day off and the next day when I have to work it's going to be beautiful... I always think about how if I lived in LA, that whole burden would disappear.

OK, people, do I post too often?

As long as each post is accompanied by a kitten and a duck (as is presently the case) it's fine.

Having lived on both coasts and in the middle, I can honestly say I'm happiest here in the cold, cold middle. That said, I didn't live in the greatest places on either coast: Sacramento CA, Portland OR, Washington DC, Baltimore... well, Portland was nice, but since I have S.O.-- S.A.D., the rain really got to me big time.

The winters here in the cold, cold middle are nice. I don't mind the cold and I find snow to be beautiful. What gets hardest is how few hours of daylight there are. But when there's snow on the ground and it's sunny, it more than makes up for it, because the sunlight is doubled for that day!

That said, on days like today, when they cancel school because it's so cold that exposed flesh will freeze in five minutes, I kinda wish I was back in CA.


Just not Sacramento.

I'll take the Bay Area any day of the week though. I hear it's wonderful there. Or so I've been told.

Especially since "a hiatus like Q" apparently means "never coming back, ever."

Where did you go, Q? And Bozack, and Zart... le sigh.

You can get Depression in San Diego, too, but 1) It takes a big thing to kick it off, and 2) It is harder to come up with reasons not to go out.*

Otherwise it's really awesome except for rent.  And not having leaves that turn colors other than brown.

I don't live all that close to it, but every morning as I come over a hill I can see the ocean just off to the right, and I feel like the day can't be that bad.  That sort of thing helps a lot.  Then I go to my job, which is fun even though it doesn't pay a lot, and I can go outside at breaks and 19 times out of 20 it's sunny and warm.

I like it here.  I want to stay.

*Usually it was traffic for me.
