The reason why I love SoCal so much is because I feel like the world is at my finger tips. People talk about how shallow SoCal can be, but in reality, you can be anyone you want to be and do anything you want to do. Indie hipster? Tons of independent music and book stores, farmers markets, and vintage clothing stores. Crafty? Lots of amazing craft fairs, local crafters to buy and learn from, and an entire district in LA where you can buy fabric and decorating supplies. Super nerdy? You can hit up Comic con or catch Video Games Live or go to a fantasy themed masquerade ball. If I want to see some of the world's best photographs, I can just head over to the Annenburg Center. I can go snowboarding one day and the beach the next. I can go to a tattoo and porn convention during the day, and head over to Disneyland to catch the fireworks at night. And the food is some of the best in the world. Almost every cuisine is represented. I mean, there's even North Korean style restaurants. How crazy is that??
Plus you have the beautiful weather. Everything you could want. Except, yeah, there are a ton of people. One of my favorite day dreams is to zap people off the highway with my powerful people zapper of doom.
