    I'm never in that section of the mall. Unless I want me some KB Toys.

    Red Robin is way too far away to ever go to. The Bleu Cheese burger they have makes me want to try though :cry:

    It's the only reason I ever go to that mall.

    Though I also inevitably end up looking at puppies in the pet store.

    I really love their Whiskey River Barbecue Burger. Also, the Royal burger, with the egg. Also, the mushroom and swiss one.

    Goddammit I want some Red Robin now.

    Someone give me a job.

    One that doesn't suck, preferably.

    I don't know why the fuck anyone would want to live in either of those places, unless you dig the hollywood scene. But then again i've lived here since I was born, so as soon as it's viable for me to move, i'm moving FAR away, maybe even Europe. Just because I like movies doesn't mean I respect the industry. I think the people who work in the movie business are absolute scum (while some can be very good people, though).

    you're from carlsbad



    not san diego

    everything south of LA is basically San Diego

    we can only hope to one day follow Demolition Man's example of a San Angeles dystopia

    and Schwarzenegger as our president

    no see this is why I hate people like you

    Santee, Carlsbad, Scripps Ranch, etc are not fucking San Diego stop tarnishing our reputation

    no, only downtown san diego is san diego, where the homeless people are angry that you're encroaching on their turf, when they're not busy making the general area smell like urine

    I see your point

    this is the shit Im talking about you don't even know what San Diego is

    Point Loma, Downtown, Mission Hills, Hillcrest, etc that is fucking San Diego


    I don't even think you've been to Downtown, considering that the area isn't decrepit anymore, and that the Gaslamp area is a very lively nightlife hub. I can't believe you're sitting around here, trying to claim your from San Diego when you're in fucking oceanside, and then telling people what San Diego is and being completely wrong about it. It's dumb asses like you that I hate so much

    "ohh look at me Im totally San Diegan, let me tell you exactly what San Diego is like even though I've never been to the places I am describing, but that doesn't matter because Im in Oceanside which is only like 45min away so I basically know THAT I AM A HUGE COCKSUCKING POOP FACE"

    Well, as we all know, controversy = fame.

    Show up to a red carpet event and punch Paris Hilton in the face.

    Then sit back and watch the fame dollars pour in.

    Las Vegas is shit

    This is six pages old, but Nevada is complete shit.

    My hometown (Truckee, CA) was pretty small, so if you wanted to see a movie or anything you had to drive about an hour to Reno. The instant you cross the border, everything turns all brown and drab and shitty.

    I drove across the entire state a couple times. Once you get past Carson City, there's absolutely nothing. Just desert. Fuck that state so much.

    I went to truckee once. I had a friend in junior college who was from there and I went up to her place to go snowboarding, I think her mom was the accountant at sugar bowl. Anyhow, that was me hanging out with her little brother becuase I didn't want to go with her to the raves and do all sorts of cocaine or ecstasy or whatever. The short amount of time I did spend with her, she ended up stopping to talk to a friend of hers from school, who at the young age of 19 was fresh out of rehab and pregnant with her second kid. Apparently all there is to do there is drink, do drugs, and fuck, which people end up doing in excess.

    I live in Milton (Near Tacoma and Federal Way), Washington.

    Good: They just created a $2 theater
    Bad: I have to wait 2 months before the $2 theater gets movies that are coming out now. I just can't force myself to shell out $9 for a movie anymore.

    haha what a strange thing to be angry about. I never said I was from Oceanside

    I live in San Diego, I have a San Diego address so not even one of those little localities

    Gaslamp had money poured into it, now it's an expensive place for college kids to douche it up, and a very few nice restaurants and clubs.

    Try anything north/east of Petco Park, it's BumUrine city

    and Hillcrest is where Fiz hangs out.

    I wasn't saying San Diego out of shame, I love Carlsbad- it's just so close to San Diego that it's easier to tell people who aren't familiar with the place that you live near San Diego.

    Now I live in San Francisco, but I grew up in Truckee, a small town in the Sierra Nevada, right by Lake Tahoe. That's where the pictures were taken.

    I think it gets more snow than just about any other place in the country. There have been years where it snowed at least once every single month.
