Sorry that I've been rather quiet here lately-I've been doing a ton of internal LJ maintenance, as in cleaning up entries, tagging everything, slapping on icons for each entry, sorting out memories, etc. I think I've poured in at least ten hours so far and have reread all 676 entries of this LJ. It was a surprising amount of work that I've been meaning to get around to, but I'm glad I finally did it.
Random observations/comments:
1. Elevators close more quickly in Southern California than any other place I've ever been. Seriously, the doors feel like they're shutting in after ten seconds, which isn't enough time to push someone in a wheelchair and definitely not from a standstill.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eyepiece_simile actually heard me shriek loudly when I thought the doors were about to close on me (it wouldn't be the first time!) when we first checked in at Disneyland. But our Disneyland trip will comprise its own special entry.
2. There are far more vegan restaurants in LA than in San Francisco.
3. Contrary to popular opinion and/or onscreen representation, it is not actually sunny all the time in Southern California. Actually, it was pleasantly cool when I was at USC for orientation, so I didn't end up being baked to a crisp. Amazing.
4. "It's a small world after all," besides being an adorable Disneyland ride/mind-boggling mind numbing song, actually does apply to real life. I will get around to explaining my own version of this truth of the cosmos later.
5. Ferris wheels are much scarier than you'd expect. Yet I was nowhere near as scared on the 800 foot freefall drop ride. Eh?
6. Rereading this proves thatcutemew, zedhaus and I would make the most awesome songwriting team EVER.
7. I make it a point to never write an entry on my birthday. I'm not sure why.
8. I am really grateful that I wrote as ridiculously much as I did documenting my time at Harvard.
9. I can run across the USC campus in roughly ten minutes without really knowing where I'm going when fuelled by the adrenaline rush spurred by worries that I wouldn't get into my first choice classes.
10. Someone, please mentally slap me when I start getting really angsty on everyone and do everyone a favor, OK?
11. I have become a closet adrenaline junkie along with Sophia. We pretty much rule all kitschy wholesome thrill rides.
12. This is a really lame list I should stop now and actually write real substantial entries when I have some sleep.
( And now for a random quiz, because it's summer, and I have to randomly spam these things even if it won't make sense to most people )
