LJ, old friend...
It's emo time!
Just got out of traffic, probably not the best time to write, but I just about had a near-death experience. I guess that's par for the course, but the real reason I'm angry is that it happened because of ignorance. I deal with it every day of my life here, but this hit home.
I'm now sold on NOT moving to LA. No one even talks about the traffic and drivers here, so that must be the 10th circle of Hell. Not for me. I think this HAS sold me on moving south. People down there are usually too out of it to even turn on their turn signal, let alone road rage.
Of course, traffic isn't the only reason I want to leave. I get nothing out of living here. I want to be around my family, but I also need to be happy. And it just seems like unless you like rolling in it and keeping up with the Joneses--and worrying about crime everywhere--you're never going to be happy. To me, when I think of "happy" I think of a laid back life where I don't have to be so afraid. Maybe I'll have to cut corners to get by, but so what?
In other news, I'm so not interested in a relationship anymore. I think I finally understand why people have one night stands and don't really give a shit about them. They're such a joke, and it all seems so political. If you don't fit a bill or read minds or fake it, you'll get nowhere. I also sometimes think I don't have a clue about what love is, because it seems like most relationships are built on sex and tolerance.
Yeah, I'm venting. It's LJ.
