I liked LA well enough when I lived there, and I'd go back if I had a reason to. I left because I woke up one morning in February and realized I had no idea what day it was or even what time of year and felt the need to go somewhere that had seasons.
I hear a lot of people say that about LA. I think LA has seasons. They're just subtle. And maybe a little random sometimes. But there's seasons.
Though I do get why people say that.
Timelies.
LA is Right Out for me because I love not having to have a car. Also, the air quality is a huge issue for me. And the heat & dry. And the sprawl. But I will happily visit my peeps.
Sara looks adorable in the dress & tights! So freakin' cute!!
I will happily visit my peeps.
Promises, promises.... *wink*
Promises, promises.... *wink*
I will happily visit my peeps WHEN I HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY TICKETS. (Or when javachik goes out of town and lends me her car again.) HAPPY, MISSY????

There are some routes that are always going to suck (see: Kristin's commute to school), but for most others, if you study hard, pay attention, and have a good teacher, there are all kinds of alternate routes to keep you moving.
The traffic is much worse for new people than it is for people who've been driving in the city for a while.
Very true. And at this point I do have several alternate routes and work-arounds, but sadly nothing that changes the fact that my commute does, indeed, suck. Honestly, it's the rigid school schedule that kills me. If I wasn't forced to commute during rush hour both ways, it wouldn't be so bad.
I've found the air quality in Pasadena to be better than when I lived in the Valley, fwiw.
Oh, and did I mention that it's 80 degrees and sunny right now, with a nice cooling breeze? This is definitely a plus for living in SoCal.
Hmmmm...I'm ahead of schedule in my party planning. I should do some homework or something. Nah...that would require bringing it all out, and I don't know where I'd work, because the table is already set.
