I've been living in California for 2 years, and love it. The scenery is amazing, and living 2 hours from SF is great, so there's always something to do. I love the outdoors, but also enjoy relaxing with a good book and listening to relaxing music. I love having the chance to meet new people with different cultures, and a having an open-minded conversation about life, philosophy, economics, art, or politics can make my day. On the other hand, I'll quickly get bored by the mundane everyday topics like the latest pop-star, TV show, or football game... although.... I can talk about cars all day (guess it's a guy thing).
