If adults are a mess of sadness and phobias then what am I?

I’d be safe and warm if I was in LA.
California dreamin’ on such a winter’s day

I believe it is safe to say that I very much miss California right now.

The ever impressive… the long-contained… the often immitated, but never duplicated….

My trip to California is coming to a close. In a half an hour I will be on my plane heading to rainy Portland. Some highlights of my trip:

♥ Eating vegan frozen yogurt with Kathleen Truffautt
♥ Smiling all day with Lou O’ Noble
♥ LA rooftop party with very old Portland friends
♥ Nightly bubble baths
♥ Noms with Bradley Laurent and nearly getting stabbed
♥ Meeting Addison Kowalski at Disneyland
♥ Lounging in the sun every single day. This place is ridiculous.

I think Lou has very well captured my personality, not just my body and my face. I look at these photos and I think, “this is me!” He made smiling pretty damn easy.

Los Angeles, why can’t Portland be as warm as you are?  Do you know how utterly miserably cold and wet I would be at Colonel Summers or Laurelhurst Park right now?  You’re kind of breaking my heart.
