I like people.

It was kinda nice seeing all of you for wedding weekend. I guess weddings actually are cause for celebration, huh? I increasingly see why Shakespeare ends his comedies with them. Seeing everyone up here, and hanging out with the PA crew afterwards made me appreciate where I am a little more.

Sort of like travel fatigue at the end of a long trip elsewhere.   Something in you hankers towards home, and you remember what was there that made you happy so many times before.

As you all know, I really like Southern California.  My main gripe about Northern California is that the drivers are too slow (really, really slow), that the drivers brake when merging on to the freeway, that everyone’s a nerd, that good chinese food is way too expensive and hard to find, that…oh, well, okay. My main gripes.  My main gripe is actually the simple fact that it’s a little cold (I mourn for the “beaches”), and that I find it disturbing to find frost on lawns after Thanksgiving. (It’s simply unnatural.)

Since coming for college, and sticking around for another four year term, you might suspect that I’ve become a convert.  To be sure – it’s usually warm enough, and close enough to home that isolation isn’t an issue.  But it’s good to be reminded of how lucky I am to be in the US, in California, and in the area that I am, at all. And of course, to see the people instrumental in me being around, at all.

I mean, really.  Check out the joy on this gal’s face – simply because she gets korean food.   Korea house IS delicious, isn’t it? 

Of course, none of this deals with my workplace.  Which is apparently somewhat of an attraction in itself.  Which I often forget, seeing how difficult it seems to  be to get myself there at a reasonably early hour each day.

Come back soon. :)
