i met amazing people here and there. i've never experienced the negative social interactions that so many people have told me about. maybe it's luck, but meeting people seems so much easier there than portland. above and beyond the ease is the content of conversations i had with people. a sort of superficial in depth, i want to get to know you as quickly as possible, and not what your favorite actress is, but where your family is, what do you love, politics, society and art. i feel like i got the woman from jordan i met outside a restaurant better than some of my closest friends here i've known for years.
on a totally different note, a friend sent me a link to the political compass today to see where my thoughts sit on their little graph. although they've got some pretty thoughtful questions on their questionnaire, some were a bit vague. what can you expect from an online 'test' to determine your political view? i do like their ideas behind combining the social and economic aspect of politics. here's what my little graph ended up looking like:

Hopefully the Guest of Cindy Sherman movie will come to your neck of the woods. Where are you from? You should let the filmmakers know so that they can try to book it in a theater near you.
hey christopher! from portland. i really hope it does make it up this way although part of the draw was seeing it with my lady friends while i was in new york. maybe next time!

So yeah...I'll go take the test. Hang on...

You'll be amused to find out that I went and took the test and ended up in very nearly the same exact spot as you. I'll mail you a picture...
