I'm so over SoCal.
I've been researching moving to the Santa Cruz area. Not right now, obviously. But maybe in the fall. On craigslist the rooms for rent cost slightly less than here in Santa Barbara. Plus I wouldn't have to feel like a freak being a hippy in Santa Cruz! I could go to reggae concerts on the beach and attend the school that was my first choice way back in 11th grade (which is the first time I even thought about colleges.)
So, yeah. Santa Cruz or bust. Like I said, I've always wanted to go there. Plus santa cruz is only like 100 miles from Napa. I could totally come visit for a weekend...or maybe somebody could come and visit me???
(somebody who I actually want to come visit me)
There's this guy that hangs out on this bench downtown. He's in the same spot every day. He gives tarot card readings and burns sage and such. We've talked a few times because he thinks I'm gorgeous (no joke--gotta get the kindness from somewhere.) I don't have any money to give him so we exchange "magical hugs." Whatever that means. They're not very magical...
So, tarot dude's name is Jason. He always ends up telling me things about myself that I aready know but never let anyone know about. The cards I pulled today were "Control" and "Comparison"
So he basically suggested I go out and do something fun (lose control) and get two part time jobs--one that is solid and one that is flexible. He also told me that I would do better if I moved up north. Which of course is something I already knew. But it's also why I'm actually looking into it right now.
There's nothing I would rather do than work my ass off for the next 8 months so I can move the fuck out of SB. I would work 3 jobs if I had to.
It's not that SB is a bad place. It's beautiful. There's always something to do. But I just don't fit in. This place is not for me.
I'm a bay area hippy stuck in affluent so cal and it really sucks the life out of me.
So, there you have it. New plan: Move to Santa Cruz. Get my hippy spirit back. Spit on SB as I leave.
Also I want to change my major to Linguistics.
