strangely enough, i "predicted" this would be a beastly year back in 2013.

my hatred for california has reached new, inconceivably intense levels.

Be glad you don’t live in PA, the Alabama of the North.

Kip, how has California offended you?

Woke early.

Why, what happened?
What could possibly be wrong with California except earthquakes, fire, and flood?
May I ask, which part of California?
Sorry to be so nosy but hating California really piques my curiosity.

southern.

Thank you - hugs always appreciated (and returned). Still OK, still apprehensive. Long-term forecast gives my area another week of this before daytime temps get above freezing. I stocked some bottled water (2.5 US gallon containers) if I have to live rough.

Poor birds and animals living out in this. How long will your area be cold? The Gulf Stream does really different things further north where you are.

The price for my Winter class textbook is $100.

^ What is the name of this Winter class textbook? Can you buy a used one from Amazon?

My football team did not win today.

perhaps it is indeed better i do not live somewhere where the roads are salted.




no problem. those are part of it, yes, and ever since the big fire i have been left wondering what on earth i am doing in a county where the average home is a million dollars, and you pay four dollars for your gallon of gas just to drive to your job where wages haven't increased in decades, just so you can have a minuscule chance of paying off your home before your death...but what will it matter if it's just going to burn down anyway, and there's not even any water to put out those fires thanks to the drought? AND, whatever water we DO have, is being stolen by f*****g disgraceful, shameless corporations that are apparently allowed to do whatever they want because they're "people"?

no.



they're more important than people! but of course!

the absolute STATE of america, everybody!

ever-increasing tourism to these parts sends the cost of living skyrocketing, forcing everybody who was just only managing to get by out of the city and creating massive flight to other areas, depriving the city of so much of what arguably makes it so special-its people!

and on a more personal note, i am someone who already struggles with feelings of worthlessness and being a leech in general, and when i am surrounded by vacancies and overcrowded apartments, whatever available living spaces we do have, are FAR beyond my financial grasp, often requiring rent and utilities payments that would be typical of a multiple storey luxury homes in many other states. add to that the fact that, besides my girlfriend, i have no other friends to serve as prospective roommates with whom to split the costs of living, it's not a stretch to imagine increased feelings of suffocation and entrapment. on some days i have been led to believe it is all an elaborate ruse by my parents to keep me dependent on them, forever. "paradise" tax, they call it.

the climate is pleasant until you realize it no longer resembles anything that can be called "mediterranean", and "arid" is probably more fitting for what we've had these last few years, save offshore currents and coastal cooling effects.

i wish i was kidding when i say we have had less than .1 inch of rain in the LAST 200 DAYS.

my girlfriend and i have been discussing moving up north after college, but this is so far a pipe dream as she is still in high school and i am shamefully directionless (yet thankfully, employed)

i smell a WAR on the middle class in america and almost nowhere is it more evident, than in santa barbara.
it's a miracle my folks have held on for as long as they have.

Being told I'm thoroughly obnoxious by one of the nicest people on the site.

Perhaps they aren't as nice as you thought.

I am in southwest Ontario Canada so I think the end of March early April.

Continuing to cope with a runny nose that I have been having for the past few days as part of a cold.

Unfortunately, no.

My Winter class textbook is for my Spanish class which I am enrolled in to complete language requirements and textbooks for language classes are expensive regardless of language.
