Other things I missed about L.A.:
- The sound of waves crashing onto the beach.

- The "local" feel, or rather, the feeling that I'm not living on some island called "Tourist Trap."

- Driving.

- Changes in elevation: just driving around Redondo Beach and having to navigate through hills is kinda cool since most of Florida is flatter than my ex-girlfriend.

- The climate here is almost as dry as my humor.

- The fact that most of the essential stores like Target, Albertson's, and Guitar Center are so close.

- Good friends

- Alcohol is so much cheaper here than South Beach. Four bucks for a Guinness! FOUR!

Things I don't miss:
- The traffic. Freeways aren't as bad as I-95 and Miami drivers are worse than anything here (which is truly frightening) but still.

- The rent. Not that I have to worry at the moment but I did a quick browse through a renter's guide and HOLY CRAP is it high. Not like, New York City high but compared to my $600 for my studio, it's ridiculous.

- Can't find a decent Cuban sandwich anywhere.

- Living with the parents.

- The little twin size bed I'm sleeping on right now. I'm surprised I haven't fallen out yet.

- Using a PC.
