so cal conformity

"I had a hard time dressing today." Catherine met up with me at Borders at the Block, in the heart of the OC. I agreed. We both find that it's hard to dress when we're down here. In SF, everyone has a unique and quirky style whereas in so cal people tend to play it safe or stick to trends. Sometimes it all looks so bland to me, so uninspired. Neither of us likes sticking out like a sore thumb too much, so we're more careful about the clothes we wear, trying not to look too subversive.

Met up with Jazmine. She quit studying law and decided to follow her passion, writing. She's currently a copy editor at a magazine. I'm so happy and proud of her. While sitting in Johnny Rockets, pouring all our nickels into the jukebox, we discussed our futures and sipped chocolate malts. She asked me, "What are you going to do, Elaine?"

I didn't answer so quickly. She added, "I didn't mean for it to come out like that." I told her not to worry. That I was just hoping to end up at a production house. Probably work my up from the bottom. The more immediate future scares me; I'm getting my top wisdom teeth removed on Thursday.
