after two months of living in california, i've started to notice weird stuff about the natives and how different they are from people in louisiana. for example: -most of the dudes actually wear TIGHT jeans. crazy. in louisiana, guys wouldn't wear anything that didn't hang several inches off their a** and was two sizes too big for them. -many of the dudes also wear tight-fitting t-shirts. i find this whole way of dressing rather disgusting. -everybody is extremely cheerful and friendly 24/7. nobody ever seems depressed or angry...everyone loves this city. -both males and females of all ages have very long, shaggy hair. -in lake charles, you'd see groups of kids dressed all in black with lots of spikes, chains, etc., walking around showing off to people or trying to make a statement by the way they were dressed. you NEVER see kids doing that here. they don't feel like they have to prove themselves with the way the dress or anything...they just throw something on and don't really care about what others think. they're a lot more real. -nobody just sits at home doing nothing...except for me, i guess. everyone has something to do, somewhere to go, or someone to visit. and people love excercise and doing things outdoors. -you see a lot more shopping going on around here. people are always buying something. -people tend to assume that everyone knows how to skateboard. -people use the word "amazing" a lot. they also appear to have no accent. man...it scares me to think that in another four years, i might easily fit into all of these categories...heeeelp.
