Movin on Down, to the South Side...

In one of my more earlier submissions, I mentioned moving to Savannah, Georgia. Initially, I thought of this as a romantic joke - I mean, really, can Jews like myself survive the humidity? There's a reason why I've only been to South Beach a handful of times in my life. But now, the more that I think about it, I believe it to be the best idea I've ever had.

Los Angeles is simply everything I expected it to be. I'm relaxed, calmed by the Pacific Ocean breeze on the PCH, spending my nights drinking wine with friends and eating delicious caprese salads, and spending the occassional night out. I expected this all.

What I didn't expect, truthfully, was how unhappy it would make me.

Some people thrive when in a routine. They enjoy knowing what's coming next and they need the comfort of preparation. Me? I'm never prepared, I like not knowing a damn thing, and I appreciate spontaeinity. Where better to find this then to move to a completely unfamiliar place?

I hope to make this move within the next year or so. I will get my BA first and if Grad school is in the cards, then I will try and find a college that coincides with my southern comfort.

the other night, while chatting with a girl that i'd just met from chicago who is studying at fidm, we both came to the conclusion that the united states may not be for us. don't get me wrong, i love the good ol' us of a, but if mccain is elected then the country will spiral deeper into social and financial ruin.

so many options, so MUCH time.

It's been a long, long time. I've been absent for a while due to the fact that I had to adjust to my LA lifestyle once again, especially without those who I used to allow it to include. Though last summer was fabulous and wonderful in it's own right, it was a fleeting, temporary situation saturated with plastic friendships and peeople who are so selfish and unimportant that the only thing i can feel for them is...pity. what a sad, sad feeling to have.

Life is tolerable at the moment. Though my move back to New York is immenient, I am allowing myself to enjoy what LA has to offer. I am enjoying the company of people that I never thought I would; I'm relaxing and living my life in a seriously different manner, which gives me incredible happiness; I'm learning to grow up, which is scary and wonderful and perfect and incredibly hard to articulate all at the same time.

I will make a conscious effort to post some interviews in the near future, but this week gives me no peace.

Soon,
FS
