I think I have what they call writer's block...only I don't write
So lately my ability to correspond with other members of the human race has been significantly FAIL. I can't get out the words I want at the right time or with the right inflection. I think it's making me seem kinda crazy to a lot of people, but luckily they kinda know me well and think it's endearing. At least I hope that's what they're thinking...
In any case, people are pretty awesome. Especially a certain person who likes me and is willing to spend copious amounts of time with me of his own free will. Yey nice boys!
My one job had it's Christmas party last night. (yea, last night. hey, it's only 2 weeks after Christmas). It was so overwhelmingly Hollywoodish that we left after the free food and free drinks. I'm willing to go pretty much anywhere for free stuff, but that was almost not worth it. It's a good thing the food was ridiculously good... Though it would have been kinda fun to watch my various bosses get totally shitfaced.
On a lighter note, my other job's Christmas party (which happened at the more understandable time of the week of the 25th) was pretty cool. At least to me (others said it sucked but seeing as it was my first Christmas party ever I was rather happy with it) but it could have been the whole meeting people and such.
And to update on my completely new and improved plan for the next year: I'm going to move to Seattle in July/August. I have a multitude of reasons for this radical decision.
1. I sincerely dislike LA. I feel like the only thing anyone cares about is appearance. I know that your physical appearance is supposed to show how much you care about yourself, but it seems to have gone too far and to the realm of physical deformity here. People here don't look like human beings, they look like dolls. Not the cute ones (with the button eyes and the cozy body that you can actually hug), but the scary ones with the eyes that open and close and follow you wherever you go and the heads that fall off if you shake them too much and the bodies that look like holocaust survivors. With ginormous boobs. ... Sorry. I rant a lot when it comes to this. I'm done now before I start cursing profusely.
2. It's too hot in southern California. I get overly warm at around 75 degrees, and that seems to be the winter norm around here. Granted, in a couple decades I'm sure Seattle will be just as hot thanks to humanities' wonderful greenhouse gases (go us) but for now the North's average summer temp of about 80 max seems like the greatest thing ever.
3. I miss nature. It's really sad when you get excited about seeing a squirrel because that's the closest you've gotten to wildlife in about a year. I need trees, greenery, and actual oxygen. And silence and stars. mmmmmmm...
4. It's really difficult to imagine making tasty desserty-foods when no one eats. At least there's enough bulimics in this city to keep the restaurant industry alive.
5. I want a huge fucking hairy dog.
6. I've lived in SoCal my entire life. The idea of never trying out other places sounds...scary.
7. 5's not really a reason, I'm just sayin.
So yeah. I think I'm rather justified.

haha what a fun indepth post. I'd love to see you with a huge hair dog when you work super much all the time!! But im sure you'll work less there since I'm presuming living expenses are less. But then again it is also a city. So you'll have to let me know how that goes! Which I'm sure you will :)
also remember you're going to the city with the highest suicide rate in the country so i'm sure eating disorders are rampant as they are in the entire country. Oh the plague!!!!!!!!
But I do think it's smart you move now before you get stuck in a city that you dont want to be in. I 100% support moving somewhere drastic. I'd suggest Boston too. In fact i didn't think of that until now. But I highly suggest Boston too. They read A LOT and look down on everything you posted here. That whole New England thing I think you'd fit in really well with....
So if you dont go to Boston. Add it to your list after Seattle. Plus they like desserts cause they drink lots of tea. Or throw it overboard OOOOOOHHHHH SNAP -

If you're not really happy there, there's nothing to discuss. I hope that you love Seatle, but also that you keep thinking you will find a better place so you can move and move again and meet lots of places. That's what I wanted to be doing right now, I'm not happy here for sure :( Hey... did you totally give up that idea about coming to Europe? You should come!!!
