Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The first time I went to a desert (with stereotypical sandy soil) I kept having the intense feeling that if I just went over the next hill, the ocean would be in view.
In my defense, I was quite young, and any time I'd been in landscape like that (think wild Jersey Shore parks), the ocean HAD been just over yonder. :-)
And don't tell me SF has seasons. They're all weird and in the wrong order.
Yeah, the SF "seasons" weirded me out for the 1 1/2 years I lived there. Besides my time in SF, I've spent my whole life in the Midwest, and I love the seasons here. Although people in Chicago look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them winters are too mild here... I mean, it very rarely gets below 0 F.
I'm not an Ocean person, I'm a mountain person. Give me cool, dry air, small streams of water, and stunning vistas.
I'd like the Midwest, well the Missouri section of it, better without summer. Fall is my preferred season here. Summer here is often quite brutal with high temperatures and ridiculous amounts of humidity.
Why was the gymnastics gala only, like, three routines???
Amazing, right? They throw this big ol' gala for twenty minutes...
I grew up in the Ramapo "Mountains" of New Jersey, and I get disoriented when I look around and I'm not surrounded by hills. Being surrounded by tall buildings helps, though. I also wouldn't be able to stand not living near water, even if I don't go in it or on it very much.
I'm directionally challenged. In my head, east=mountains, west=mesa. You could plunk me down anywhere in my hometown and based on orientation to the mountains alone, I could tell what part of town I was in.
Does me a fat lot of good out here.
Love starting the morning with a munged excel file.

Finding downtown was tricky at first after we lost the towers. It was just so automatic to spot them when I got out of an unfamiliar subway station and proceed accordingly.
Whatever, I'm STILL pissed about that when I come out of a downtown subway stop that's not my usual.
I navigate by the mountains, too.
I navigate by the Pacific Ocean.
Ever since I moved to LA, I've always known what direction I was facing by my orientation to the Pacific Ocean.
And it still works here in Michigan.
Which weirds some of my friends right out.
