It was raining, but the road wasn't very slick. *mutter* If the road was wet, I would've slowed down. I was also trying to see how fast I could make 300 miles go - but also safely. Ahh well.

I can tolerate Bush whackers and Hot Topic disciples to a point. Not for long, though.

My god, yes. And more than half the fuckers don't even know Rage broke up.

Other than the millions of loudmouthed idealistic idiots living there, mainly in San Francisco and the Los Angeles area, nothing

Present company excluded, of course.

1st: The computer job are here because of a place called, brace yourself... SILICON VALLEY

2nd: This is defiently NOT the chepest part of the country, if not one of the most expensive. It takes a substantial income to be able to survive combfortably in my area. Very substantial.

That area is one of the most-expensive areas in the country. I think it's in the running with the Washington/Baltimore/Annapolis triangle, where a comfortable 2-bedroom/1-bath can cost you around $1200 a month (and that's a townhouse with decent managerial and maintenance staff).

God I can't wait to go back to the South... a four bedroom on a huge lot will cost me $600, which is sublime compared to this craptacular place.

You know, I'm from the LA area.

I'm not a crazy bitch. Not very, at least.

One of my roomies (from NorCal) will not go to Six Flags because Valencia is near LA, and *eyes widen* LA has crazy drivers!!

I hate the exorbitant prices around here, too! $500 for my room? wtf? Back home (I live in the desert, so land is hella cheap), half the rent is LESS than $500. *mutter* Stupid San Luis Obispo and its old people and lovely weather and location by the beach...
