Heh, Kat.
Tara: 'Your One-Stop Spot to Shop for Lots of New-Age and Occult Items.' Catchy. Giles: Think so? Tara: Uh huh. In a... hard to say sorta way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe there are three types of people....desert people and ocean people and a bizarro hybrid of the two?

I didn't grow up near the ocean (Western Pennsylvania) and I adore the ocean. I haven't seen it this century.
I wonder if people in the 1900s made remarks like "Well, I haven't seen anything like that this century."

I"ll take bizarro hybrid for a hundred, Alex.

When it comes to the ocean, Jesse and I are one.
Jesse, did you see my fluevog black/brownish spectator pumps link?

Heh. I remember a college peer who grew up in NC and did a semester out west. She was all "exposed all the time" whereas I felt claustrophobic in NC unless I drove out to a treeless hilltop (and even that wasn't enough.) Desert=norm for me. Blue mountains, beige earth dotted with dusty green, sun bleached oranges and reds, that's earth to me.
The ocean thing still is weird to me. I like it. I like the sounds (and as long as it isn't fishy) the smell and rhythm. But The Horizon Is Too Tall. Will Crush Me.

“Not dead yet!”
I love both ocean and desert-- I just really like huge expanses, really. I like overlooking mountains as well.
What was funny was Kristin and I driving along the Pacific and both of us waxing rhapsodic over the gray-green crankiness of the Atlantic.

That's great, Kat!
I love the openness around large bodies of water (the ocean, the Great Lakes, etc.). That's one of the things I miss when I'm back in the hill and tree constrained Triangle. It's like I can breathe a little better near the shore.
