Nice

I thought the climate change would be the biggest adjustment to moving to the Pacific North west.  No, although I haven't been properly warm since I left Orlando.

Now, I know I'm not the cuddliest person, but I have been known to display kindness every so often.  But here I have to be Pacific Northwest Nice, which entails being nice and considerate and thoughtful all of the time, and in a way that really challenges my own patience (and those around me).

Yes, I'm callous, and brash and crude, and that works fine in the South and the East in general.  But here I'm stomping on toes left and right.  So if I don't want the Olympia Bridge to go up in flames, I'm going to have to compromise.  I'm learning how to handle different types of people, and that'll be good for later in life.

I'm keeping everything in perspective, cause Olympia is just a pit-stop on my journey....
