no, i'm not dead

i was just in san francisco for a few days. (which is practically the same thing, i know.)

HA HA HA HA. i'm kidding. sort of.

but before i turn into the anti-christ, i must say that any and all negative thoughts about the city were completely negated by seeing my oldest and dearest friend, S. S and i met in college and then lived together throughout our party-loving 20's, so you can just imagine how many "remember when's...?" (probably followed by "the time we were at harry o's and drank so much that i/you...") were initiated throughout the course of the 48 hours. good times!

ok, that being said...

if you've known me for longer than five minutes, you already know that tia no likey sf! i could never really give anyone a concrete reason why, i just hated it every time i went ~  and that seemed to be a good enough reason for me. however, this time i was determined to try and be a grown up and see the good in it. 

which i more or less did. because i definitely think it would be awesome to be able to walk out of my front door, and go get coffee or lunch or go shopping. (because as it stands, right now the only thing that i can get by walking out of my apartment door is getting hit by a bus.) 

but the weather!!! oy. i guess i was lucky since it was pretty sunny when we were eating lunch at the embarcadero, even tho it was cold and windy.  but by the time we got to the golden gate? FORGET ABOUT IT. crazy fog/cold/wind ~ you could barely even see the bridge, which naturally is the one thing i wanted to shoot.

for those of us that grew up in so cal, obviously there is nowhere else we can go that compares to our weather over the course of 365 days. i get that. i also know if it had been the dead of winter, or if on the east coast, yah, of course it's not going to be 72 and sunny.   

but in the middle of august? in california? (even if i was practically on the canadian border.) then top this off by making it one of the most expensive cities in the WORLD? um, NO. that's where you lose me. i don't get it.

watch, one day i'll get some totally bananas job offer up there and will have no choice but to go. (and i think that situation is commonly referred to as "purgatory.")

see you in hell, peeps!
