You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

We sort of get that out here when something like a major Earthquake or fire happens; people rely on each other and gain trust and friendships. But it doesn't happen that often.

I must live in a freakishly outlier neighborhood for LA. Most of us have lived here 30 years or more, many families have lived in the same house for multiple generations, neighbors hang out and talk with each other all the time. Help each other in the ways it sounds like sarameg's neighbors help each other. My sister lives in Nor Cal and seems to have a similarly positive relationship with her neighbors. I've always thought it was normal, not East Coast versus West Coast.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Lately, I've been finding Charles quite fetching. He's aging into his looks, as some men do.

I have to say, I do think I've hit the jackpot in this neighborhood. Part of it is self selecting (shitload of singles, so our income is going to dictate a certain housing stock) and nearby university. But we also have some long-termers (20+ years) who are happy to see the new influx.

And I'm sure a small part of it is me now. I want to engage, I'm looking to meet people. So while there may have been people to meet before, I wasn't looking. Now I am, and I picked out a mecca of people within a decade or so of my age and taste in housing!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I thought Philip was a Mountbatten, not a Windsor.

3 inches on the balcony (aka kitchen roof. Can't measure the deck anymore, didn't clean it off. And my neighbors liked me calling it the balcony. Sound fawncier!)

I think he's both.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't click on that link. Taco Bell ain't helping.
