A conversation between me and my friend about two years ago when I moved from San Diego to Monterey:
Her (after tearfully hugging me goodbye): When I first met you, I couldn't stand you. You are such a weirdo. You were so superficial and silly and too opinionated about things you didn't know anything about.
[This last one could be very successfully argued]
Me: I know you didn't like me.
Her: But I love you now. You've really grown and changed over the past two years.
Me: Do you think that maybe you've grown and changed a bit too?
Her: No. It's just you. I'm exactly the same.
The art of being Californian, it seems, is to cultivate a loose-limbed insouciance while secretly working away like a frantic ant.

Brilliant. I always loved that you are weird and silly and opinionated.
