It's Californication

I apologize for being so MIA but I have just been having a ball here in Los Angeles that I actually forgot about facebook and writing for a min. I've decided that sunny Cali with all of its loveliness is the way to go. NO MORE cold east coast winters for me. (well you never know but it's pretty likely that I will not return.)

So let's get to the good stuff. Weed is legal here. Not only is it legal but it's the best shit you'll ever smoke. I wasn't to big into smoking before but in Cali it's really hard to pass up. Since its soo good it doesn't give me a paranoid or anxious side effect that I would get from smoking back home. I really enjoy the Sour Diesel and the Pineapple Express. This all brings me to the conclusion that why the hell isn't weed legal in all states?? It has helped me tremendously. I gained 5 pounds(well I'll explain that later), have been overly happy, and just am having a great time with this new "medication"!

Another thing that I've been having great fun with is all the awesome food in this town! I've been on an eating frenzy. My favorite though is Machos Taco Stand in Los Feliz. It's this taco stand in the middle of a hot mess of car washes and other things. It's cheap and amazing. Actually all the Taco Stands are awesome I must say. And you eat outside and listen to Mexican music or sometimes they'll have a TV and you can watch Spanish Soap Operas while you eat. Amazing man! Okay now let's move onto the European bakeries. Well you can imagine. Now I'm getting hungry!! haha In and Out and Jack in the Box are totally rad burger joints. Donut Shops........need I say more??!!! And the best is that all of this is usually open 24/7. Great for late night eaters like me.

Everyone is much nicer out here. I think it's the sun and the 75 degree weather. I haven't had to wear a coat since I got here. SUCH a nice change. I can't tell you about all the fabulous shopping yet because I am making myself stay far far away. Even though today would be perfect for some time at The Grove, I can't risk taking the chance with my high end shopping addiction. Also what is really awesome is that biking is how you get everywhere. It's freaking sweet! You bike to the subway then get on then get off and bike to where you planned on going. I'm going to try to bike my way to the Valley tomorrow to get to ballet class. I'm pumped. My roomies and are are really close so we pretty much do a lot together. We have even began having Family Dinners. Soooo fun! And I am trying to move to Venice by the end of the month when my soul sister gets here.

So the overall story that I am trying to tell is basically that this move did a 360 on me and I'm very very happy. Maybe it's the sun, maybe it's all the wonderful people, maybe it's even the weed? All I know is that I am on a whole new path and it's a lot brighter, more chill, and relaxed. I've realized we all need to take a minute to just enjoy your time because life flys by so fast and you never know when it's your last. If any of you have lived here I'd love to here your stories!!!
