I'd like to think I'm quite lovely! LoL But I'm moving to a small town soon... so I'll get to see what people think of me there... :icon_wink
The transplants like to bitch about the weather in the midwest, but i can hardly blame them. Other than that, they're no different. Let me put it this way: The ones here are wealthy and stuck up just like the New York transplants are wealthy and stuck up. But within the state there's 30 million people, the vast majority not living in those cities you mentioned. They're going to be as diverse as anywhere else.
Mmmmm.... I think all states have their assholes and rude individuals. Having said that, I do think that California has a higher ratio of assholes:decent people. And that's coming from me, a Californian. I hope everyone doesn't label the entire state as assholes.
Inland California is alot more laid back, People along the socal coast like to complain about anything.
To be honest, I find it to be very underpopulated compared to SoCal and not as exciting LOL Well, I guess every major city has some sort of assholes. But I do find that SoCal gets more heat (no pun intended).
NorCal is terrible. They are more like Oregon than us. I assume people think we're rude because we are convinced California is better than everywhere else. Of course, that's true, so we aren't really being rude.
