... that I'm missing out on the fabulous Palm Springs White Party this weekend! It's only "the largest and best known gay circuit party in America," according the Desert Sun.
So many pretty boys and none to touch.

Still haven't been in an earthquake...
Earthquake in the midwest?
Was I the only one that was taught from fourth grade on that California was going to have such a bad earthquake that it would dislodge from the rest of the United States and disappear into the ocean?
The whole time that I lived in California, I could see the San Andreas fault. It just sat there, it minded its own business and I was never in an earthquake. Maybe tiny little ones that no one felt, but I was even warned by my Californian roommate to be careful what I hung on my walls and where, because something would fall off my wall and stab me in the night.
Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, blizzards, lightening, and hail are just some of the natural events that take place in the United States. And yet, when it comes to California, do you know how many times I was warned not to move there because of the earthquakes? Apparently I was going to get shaken to death.
Well, in that case, don't move to Florida, Georgia or Louisiana either because you'll drown in a hurricane. Don't move to the midwest, you'll get snowed in, or hit by branches in a summer storm, or even worse, bitten to death by Lyme disease mosquitos. Don't move to the big city, you'll get shot to death. And don't even set foot in San Francisco, Manhattan, Boston or Seattle - the cost of living is so high that you won't survive living in a small, expensive apartment.
Never mind the potential opportunities or the excitement of these locations.
Risks are everywhere - Hurricane Katrina, the World Trade Center, the 35W bridge collapse, California fires - whether created by Mother Nature or arsonists or just bad timing.
I was told when moving to So Cal about how expensive everything was. Sure, it was a higher standard of living. You know what else I found? A high quality of living. I took as many days as I could to see mountain towns like Idyllwild and Big Bear, Anza-Borrego desert, the Salton Sea, from Long Beach to Huntington Beach to Pacific Beach, the PS Tram, Hollywood, Rodeo Drive, Disneyland, etc. It was phenomonal to meet new people, explore other cultures and really enjoy the California beauty.
Sure the possibility of an earthquake or a wildfire loomed, but it was no different than being in Minnesota during some really awful storms causing trees to crush homes and cars, the Halloween blizzard, or seeing a tornado whiz by.
In conclusion, don't let the possibility of a natural disaster or otherwise get in the way of where you want to live your life. If you are truly a city dweller, why live in the country because you're scared of being shot? Don't let fear get in the way of what you truly want to do and be.
I have news for you - you're going die. I know, I know. Take a second to let that set in. If something is going to happen to cause that, it's going to happen anywhere and probably when you least expect it.
