I keep buying summer clothes -- half my wardrobe is little summer dresses and tank tops that never get used. I've got a convertible. Disneyland. With my skinny frame and translucent skin, I look like a sickly skeleton. I look a lot better when I'm a little tan. Tiki. Some folks move to The Dalles for windsurfing, some folks move to Steamboat for skiing, so is it so crazy for me to move to SoCal for tiki? Attitude. Southern California is infectiously positive. It's a positive, upbeat vibe. Seattle either attracts depressed people or creates them, I don't know, but I'm a misfit up here on that front. Gardening. I used to be a pretty intense gardener. Seattle has the best gardening climate for plants, but it totally blows to be out weeding in the rain. Plus, our annuals are your guys' perennials. Now I just have to be patient and keep looking for that perfect job to round it all out. Thanks for the craigslist reminder, Frenchy, LA's got a craigslist, too, I forgot there was a jobs section. Worth a try! Edited to add: Frenchy, you're a genius! I just started looking at the ads on craigslist, and this is much better than what I was seeing on Monster! I have much higher hopes that this'll happen sooner rather than later now.
