More a *nimble* bear, then?
A sleek little black bear running through the woods of Paramus. The bear-ishness was just your tentative movements in LA where you were verrrrry careful about rotating on your spine. I don't think of you as bear-shaped or any such.
I *am* given to hibernation, tho'....
sometimes people will use other people's area codes as a sort of status ranking
Heh. We do that in Cincy with ZIP codes. ("You're -08 now? Getting too chi-chi for -09? Mr. fancy-pants....") (-08 and -09 being short for 45208 and 45209.)
714. and more recently 949.
Also, I think Long Beach (which is between LA and the OC) also has it's own area codes, and has a bit of status, as well.
Long Beach is 562.
E!Online interview
with Danny Strong.
There's a casting spoiler for Angel in it, so beware. But there's a
couple really funny non-spoilery GG bits:
re: his role as Doyle on GG:
"I love it because I get to lay down the line. I was Warren's bitch
for so long, and now Rory is my bitch."
re: his lack of on screen love life:
And he could use some lovin'. "I've actually never had a girlfriend on
TV," Danny laments, "and I think Rory would be perfect. She's a good
four inches taller than me. And when's the last time we saw
that-L.A. Law?"

According to TONY and the NYTimes, with the new legislation allowing for phone numbers to be preserved when one changes cell carriers, the ultimate Oh Yes, I'm A Real New Yorker status symbol will very soon be a 212 cell number.
Do you all have to dial the area code even when making a local call?
I am so cool.
Yeah but only because of the area code. Borrowed glory, ma'am. When are you going to shine on your own, huh?
Not for calls within area codes. SoCal hasn't gone to the full 10 digit dialing thing yet. I know friends in Denver/Boulder have to do that.
NYC has 10-digit dialing everywhere. It's a PITA.
Build a shrine to Adam Brody in your office (but don't tell Kat).
Or his *mother*. She works here.
