How far from your last home do you live? Why did you move and are you glad you did?
Submitted by Matthew 25.I moved about 50 miles away from my home almost 5 years ago… down into Orange County. I moved for law school.
A part of me was very glad that I moved. I have a place all to myself. I have an independence very different from what I experienced while I was dorming in college. But a part of me, and this part grows bigger with every passing day, really misses LA and really dislikes (almost hates) the sterility of Orange County. Yes, everything is clean and new, but to me, this just makes the county all the more sterile. I also hate that there really isn’t a lot of diversity… activities, restaurants, people. They’re all pretty much from and catered to the same economic level, which really irritates me.
Sorry OC lovers =) But I will always be a Los Angelino at heart!
I’m counting the days when I’ll be able to sell my place and get one in LA =)
Have you ever backed out on doing something you promised you'd do? Did you have a good reason for going back on your word?

Yeah, I actually just did that a few days ago =( I'm ashamed to say. I had promised Christine that I would totally party it up for NYE. Unfortunately, as NYE approached, I just wasn’t in a very “going out” mood. That, plus none of the places she and her friends were thinking of going to really appealed to me. So, I ended up backing out! I felt really bad, but I told her that I would have been total deadweight if I had gone, and she probably would have hated me for ruining her NYE.I did promise her that I would be going to her half-birthday celebration in a few months. And THAT I will definitely be keeping =)
