That's an amazing story! I'm fascinated by it. From what I know about you, I can't see you working in Orange County (yuck) living the corporate life. I'm so happy you found the right path for you (and the right man, yay).
What did it feel like reach your goal? I'm not even sure I have one yet. I have to say I'm kinda jealous, even if it didn't work out in the end.
Iknorite! I was def an odd fish out in the OC. Californians (at lease the ones in LA and OC County) are HATERS. They are just so uptight and worried about EVERYTHING. Makes me want to hand out complimentary tokes just to help people chill. Course that's just LA county (but I spent most of my time there) People in northern Cali and San Diego area are pretty cool
( ... )
Not to stereotype, but I view people in SoCal as being snobby and competitive. That's just the image that area conveys. My aunt lives in the OC and she says it really is like that out there. Blergh.
As I've gotten older, I've realized that the rat race is not something I want. Yes, I would love to have money and nice things and to feel like I was important, but I think it starts to chip away at your soul after awhile. I think it's amazing that you were able to achieve all of those things (buildings in Dubai and Vegas, how cool) and were mature enough to know it wasn't what you wanted in the end. I just wish I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I'm happy to have a job but I'd love a career.
I'm glad that you and your hubby have gotten past your tough time. I went through a similar (if not so extreme) period where I had to live with my parents while my husband and I were un/under-employed. It wasn't pretty, but I do miss it sometimes. At least we got to see each other.
Meh *shrug* I think it really depends on the person. In all the research I did (it was my thesis), science points to a chemical difference in the way a female brain works opposed to the male. Literally, scientifically, we are made different. But since when is science ever correct on everything? We thought the world was flat for how long?
Yeah man, I'm with you there, it does depend on the person. I don't think it does much good to draw anything along gender lines--I've known some dramaqueen boys and some downright stoic girls, I'm sure you have too

"Right. Because elephants and whales and Andre the Giant are/were fucking geniuses at algebra."
Lmao!
I completely agree. I see more of the 'manly' type of man up here in Alaska than anywhere else (and I've 'been around the block' ;) My hubby told me once that it is physically painful for him to cry, it's not a release, it hurts. (course I couldn't tell him that it was the pain that made him cry in the first place... he just doesn't understand, lol) Men up here are very old fashioned, they beat their chests and protect their women to a point that I almost have to roll my eyes at their caveman-like syndrome. (almost!) I can def take care of myself (I broke my hubby's nose once) but most people up here still have that males are bigger/stronger/smarter mindset. *Shrug* I'm not too worried about it though, they'll come around. Best part about Alaskan boys is they listen to logic. We just need more headstrong women up here to show them what's good.
