Mountain demon sends his regards. Speaking of which I found a reindeer horn today. It is fabulous, and I'm considering mounting it somewhere on my head just because.

I just got news that our lecturer had passed away.. tomorrow class is cancelled.

[Red-Machine]

Wow, Bella.  You're so beautiful, I'm lost for words...

[Chocofreak13]

@acher: *pat pat* there, there, it'll be ok.
@red: do i smell a competition....? ^___~*

so one of my friends is missing. me and my friend mel are freaking out, espceially considering no one's heard from her since yesterday, and even then that was a depressing poem (with some slightly suicidal lines...) so everyone's a little worried (mel is more than a LITTLE worried...)

and i'm about to reformat shitty. wish me luck. signing off~ *salutes*

[Bella]

@Choco: Pretty? You think? ;v; Heh, thanks, I'm actually rather proud of my legs. xD;;

Cambridge, from what I could tell, is filled with geeks. I've never seen so many fully-grown people reading comics on a subway as I did when we got near the city! And I think the entire MoS is staffed by MIT students on internships, lol...

Haha, always wanted to see a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Think there was one at our local theatre once... but I didn't go. D:  

@Red: I don't know what to say. ;////////;

@Red + Choco: Pwese don't fight over meeeeeeeee....

To digress:

Security's not bad. Especially domestic. I make it a point to wear as little metal on my person, so it's just, stand in line and quickly go through the metal detectors.

And aw. I detect hostility to my home state. ehehe... (don't worry, no offense taken)  
I'm not sure about who the hostility is directed to, but there are a whole ton of different people here from so many different places and backgrounds. So we can't be all bad. ^^;

Although that kind of environment does make it very hard to agree on things in politics and pretty much anything else. I wouldn't wish the governor's job on anybody. Since Reagan we've tended to elect a Democrat and Republican to the Governor's and Lt. Gov's positions. Rarely a 1-party executive office.

If you'll allow me to ramble on a bit:
We have a conservative inland area, and a very liberal coastal area (save Orange County). NorCal is more liberal than SoCal overall.  We have  a ton of technology and R&D industries, we have CalTech and Stanford, yet our public education is one of the worst in the country. We have a large number of immigrants from Hispanic countries as well as Asia, yet there are many communities that are nearly all white.  We're health nuts, and one of the pioneers of fast food.  I could go on and on, but think of California as a land of contradictions. Hell, the tallest building in LA always looked to me like someone trying to fit a cylinder block into a square hole. Or you can think of us as a "Land of Fruits and Nuts" haha I guess that's accurate too.

Also, we're rather inward focused, since most residents don't really want to or need to leave (except for financial reasons).  Therefore, most Californians have a very ignorant view of other states in the country.  Californians probably know more about other countries than other parts of the United States.  From my personal experiences, this self-centered-ness and ignorance is generally the root cause of the pissing off everyone else thing. (at both the personal level and at larger levels, like state-to-state interaction. see: Arizona)


...We also host Anime Expo, PMX, Fanime, Anime Los Angeles, Comic-Con, and E3. Come join uussssssss~~~ lol

I'm not really hostile toward Californians per se, I'm just rather quite pissed at the... hijacking of my region's technological culture. It actually pains me slightly to think of how little my people know about their own past when it comes to technology -- New Englanders are a history-obsessed people, but we seem to have lost all knowledge of our own region's role when it comes to the invention of the modern computer.

Thank you though -- I love reading about regionalisms and local cultures and found this quite interesting. Most of my knowledge of CA's culture comes from things like this: http://verseau.wordpress.com/2007/12/05/differences-between-california-and-new-england/ . You seem to have confirmed a lot of the things mentioned here.

I have some relatives in NorCal... an uncle with a wicked temper but who has a much larger bark than bite, a paranoid-schizophrenic/agoraphobic aunt and a couple of cousins who... sort....of.... joined the military for family honour or something. The cousins once spent a summer with us in New England, just to broaden their horizons or something... don't think I'll be doing the same though, what with the crazy aunt and all.

I also have some more distant family in SoCal, but I'm not very familiar with them. :\
