Hell is white.

I just wrote an entry and...somehow...I erased it. So...really, I should give up and go to bed. It was eloquent. It was well composed. This will be shit. Unless I just go to bed, in which case, it will be nothing. Fuck you, LJ. Fuck you, computer. Why the text didn't autosave, I have no idea. It's autosaving now ( Read more... )

By May, I mean to be free and clear of this place, forever. I have given this place seven years of my life, and that's all it gets. This year, I will have a true summer.

I am glad you were here for those years. I have very fine memories of very late nights in your living room. And Beavertail Point.

Hell is white.

Weird. I was just watching a movie called Hell with a main character called Shiro, which means "white".

But this is, by far, the worst winter (after an almost nonexistent summer).

While here there was an almost nonexistent winter, even by San Diego standards. I wonder if it will get to the point where the northeast is Hoth year around and the southwest is Tatooine.

And we'll be leaving. I don't know for where yet. But almost certainly somewhere far south, back to Birmingham or Atlanta, most likely. Maybe Athens, Georgia.

I wish you good luck.

good luck on the move, and I do hope that you and Spooky find a good place to roost in.

I think that I have stated more then once, hell is cold not hot. Live, and learn.

Why not Florida? Then, of course, you'll have to deal with overlong, muggy summers, which I'm personally done with. But I guess at this point you'd prefer to deal with the heat, at least for the moment.

The North Beach area of Miami Beach is nice and not too expensive, and so are Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, and Fort Lauderdale.

Just my too cents.

Why not Florida?

I could make a list of about 20 reasons. But I'll make a shorter list. Oh, and the "overlong, muggy summers" would be one of the few pluses.

1. The political climate, which makes Alabama look screamingly liberal.
2. Urban, which has destroyed almost all of Florida's and biodiversity.
3. Evangelical megachuches.
4. Rising sea levels.
5. Hurricanes, more frequent and more severe.
6. Invasive species.
7. Tourists.
8. Disney World.
9. Soaring crime rates.
10. A higher cost of living than most of the southeastern US.

Honey, if you are going to dismiss an entire state for such wildly scattered reasons, you'll soon find yourself living in a desert island --where the sea levels would also be rising, by the way.

Two things, though, are nothing but media myths. There hasn't been a major hurricane here since Andrew, and that was 1992. As for the crime rate, I have been hearing about it on TV for 20 years now, yet it has had no bearing on my life or the lives of most people I know, who safely stay out at all hours walking dark alleys and even straying into unsavory neighborhoods in search of a quickie or a bag of, er, goodies...
