San Francisco is fun, but not necessarily representative of the rest of the state. :)
Yeah, I got that finally on the second visit. The first time I went I was only 16 years old and my head in the clouds (or, alternatively, squeeing at a sign for a winery we passed in Napa Valley called 'Folie A Deux', which coincidentally was the name of the X-Files episode that had aired the Sunday before we left. ;)
Maybe there's something in the water in LA. That's like a whole different planet sometimes... or maybe it's all that smog?
Maybe...the smog's certainly a legitimate reason. That doesn't explain Bostonites though. I've met many a nice person from the state of Mass., but most people from Boston are just total jerks. And not just because of their baseball team. But you're right, LA is usually somewhere on Neptune.
I totally know what you mean about the boobs. My sister is large-chested and is not a happy camper. I'm only a C-cup and it's still irritating when dresses won't fit my top or you buy button-down shirts and they do that gap thing in the front where you can see your bra/half your boob. Grrr. I used to have a bit of boob envy when I was flat-chested till 10th grade, but I got over it and got happy with my body, boobs or not. Then I went to college and my freshman 15 added my freshman extra cup size... lol
Oh, God, it's the worst. I had a wedding to go to about two years ago now, a formal wedding, and I basically had to have a separate top made to go along with the satin skirt I had, because while everything below the chest is a normal size that they sell in stores, as soon as you get to the middle of the back the zip stops and bam! That thing ain't budging for the world. I think I ended up having to get a size 18 top to compensate for the boobs. And oh, the lovely gap. *sigh* Freshman year of high school (by which time I had a bigger chest than my mother, much to her chagrin) I pushed a guy friend of mine into a puddle because I caught him looking in the gap. You're right, with time things do get better, and you get more accepting of your body. Although I still would rather be a C cup than these suckers. ;)
ps: TXF+HP=OTP
*grins* Oh, that it is. Come on, you know Mulder's got wizard blood in him somewhere, and with the right tweaking, these worlds can fit together so so easily. Look at X-Cops! That's so a boggart in there, albeit a warped one because muggles can see it and it only comes out at the full moon. Maybe it's a werewolf-boggart hybrid....no, not gonna go there. We won't do that to poor Remus. ;)
