Great list.
I hope the wallet/ID thing isn't too bad. It can be a nightmare to lose it.
oh epi! i just love everything about you! i also notice you're really into smells. me too. *and* i fucking love me some prosciutto and kalamata olives. ::slobber::
i just gotta say that's a damned long meme.
i love that you were named for the trudeau kids.
were you born in tawian when your parents were on a trip there, or did they live there and just liked the prime minister of a foreign country (trudeau) *that* much?
Dickey - I am getting my credit history checked with TransUnion and Equifax and there are already things there that don't match my financial history so I am contesting it.
Bees - mmmm Olives...
Myke - I was damned bored.
Mainja - Parents lived there and I was born, but parents were set on moving to NYC, but ended up here, thank god. They feel the same way now.
Captain and Tenille? Wow, you're very honest. and Epi, I think you have to be agressive for self preservation when your boyfriend is known as RibBreaker.
Great Post! I have to admit that I am now living in a place where you would like to retire too! In the spring time during the snow melt Yosemite National Park becomes a wonderland for waterfalls! Then if I wanted to "NOT" conserve gas I could always drive down Highway 1 on the coast. California is truly a paradise but sad to say its a costly paradise!
Snooze - Love, Love will keep us together...I know, I know, I am such a cheeseball.
catshark - I love California. I have been to Yosemite and Mammoth mountain and actually driven from San Diego to S.F along the PCH. Astoundingly beautiful.
weird..i just finished reading pearl s. buck's book about two months ago...we're oddly in kismet it seems....
Great.. long.. list. Bored? Come to New York already! ;)
wanton - I didn't realise you had Arabic or Semetic roots. LOL.
Jase - Yes, very bored. NYC is on my list for the following year and i expect you to cart my sorry ass around. Haven't been to Splash, or Web in a long time. SHould be interesting.
Ethan - LOL, assumptions? Hmmmm, what would those have been? ;-p
For number 50, you should consider Seattle. While it isn't always warm, it is always by mountains and water and city and country.
