The Pros of Living in Irvine (However Far and Few in Between)

There are, surprisingly, some good things about living here. I've been trying to look on the bright side of things. Which leads me to the first thing: it's bright. The weather can't be beat. Even when I lived in the wonderful Bay Area, I did always say I wished I could bring LA weather to the Bay. Although it would be nice if it rained just a tad more. The other day it did rain, and it was great! I stood on my porch and let it rain around me because it wasn't cold. The other nice thing is that it's safe. We won't go into why it is so safe and people being economically discriminated against and bored cops pulling anyone over because they have nothing else to do. We'll just say that it's nice when you lock your bike up on campus, and your front tire doesn't fit into the U-lock along with your frame to the bike rack, you don't have to worry about someone making off with just the front tire as is bound to happen (and did, many a time) in Berkeley. And the third thing is that there is some neat wildlife around here. There are bunnies everywhere! Wild bunnies. They just hop along and are quite cool. I didn't realize that I'd gotten tired of looking at squirrels, but it's nice to see little wild rabbits scampering around my complex. And on the bike ride home from school today, I saw a roadrunner! I'd never seen a real live roadrunner before, but I could tell exactly what it was because of Bugs Bunny. So neat! Conclusion: Orange County is still a totally horrible place but there are a couple of neat things about it.
