Okay so you all probably have some idea of how weird southern california can be. But have you ever noticed how back-asswards southern californians are in terms of time and distance? Let me explain.
I live approx. 60 miles east of los angeles. Sometimes it takes me three and a half hours to drive into the city, BUT other days I'll arrive downtown in under 45 minutes. (Depends on what freeways I take and how bad the traffic is.) However, when people ask me how far I am from L.A., I *always* answer "oh, about an hour!"...
It just doesn't make any sense! Time isn't a measurement of distance! We're all nutty! Or maybe it's just me, hehe!
Anyway, Steve saved my day (see previous entry) and invited me to lunch today at Jazz and Java. We had a really good time. Then his study partner for bio, Fred or Frank or SOMETHING with an F showed up. I thought the F-man was kinda cute (and we drive the same kinda Jeep!) until he opened his mouth to trash talk Pearl Jam. Bad move, pal. He somewhat redeemed himself as the conversation progressed, and I realized he's opinionated about his taste in music, just like I am! So hopefully If he gets to be more than a study partner with Steve, he will come hang out more and I'll make a new friend.
Okay, I'd better go now, I promised I'd go visit Nick before he goes to school tonight and I need to beat the rush hour traffic. Bye now!
