February 1, 201214 yr Dammit, I am going back to Vegas this summer, Mark. Your ass better be still there!
February 1, 201214 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 10:09 AM) How do you rate that versus just continuing to date until forced to make a decision? Just be careful that when you're forced to make that choice that you don't make a rash choice based on the feelings you have in a single moment. That happened to me when dating a girl going into college, was going to break it off and then that last weekend we talked and it kinda spurred into us deciding to do long distance.

Yeah, that is a pitfall I am well aware of... Last night she threw out the option of us both moving into her childhood home that her and her bro own...when she told me where it was I didn't think anything of it...because I don't watch E! or anything...then I mentioned it to a friend and he almost spit out his coffee...dating this girl just gets more fun with every passing day

February 1, 201214 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 03:07 PM) Yeah, Calabasas. I guess I'd have the same reaction as your initial one, what's so great about it? Big celebrity neighborhood?

Yeah, I guess...the Kardashians, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Jerry O'Connell, Cameron Diaz, and on and on and on...and yet there are only 22,000 people or so there. Maybe you'd bump into them at the Starbucks

Maybe you'd bump into them at the Starbucks It's right on the edge of the Santa Monica mountains (aka the Hollywood hills), which runs East-West away from the L.A. Basin on the Coast. If you go across the mountain range from there, you hit Malibu. The fancy people's houses are usually somewhere up in the hills, which are much more open (and have better views) than the areas down in the valleys. I wouldn't be surprised if the "calabasas" area encompasses a decent chunk of mountains to include their residences. But running into people in Starbucks is certainly plausible, it definitely happens on the Malibu side of the hills.

I like the texting...don't have to call and talk about every little thing...but the facebook nonsense...I can't stand it...why do we have to announce to the world every freaking place we go? Why flatter ourselves that others would even care?

Why flatter ourselves that others would even care? The texting is much better once it's a steady relationship. But when it's first starting out, where every action can be mis construed, it would seem like texting could make it that much more difficult. (this coming from a guy who hates talking on the phone)

I usually try to dive into a steadying influence when something terrible like this happens...work, or a hobby, or something else that takes an extraordinary amount of time and/or effort.
