Bay Area girl in LA

This weekend was nice, but it went by very quickly. I won't bore you with too many details, just know that I checked out Redondo Beach, Marina del Rey, the Torrance library, West Hollywood, The Grove and the Farmer's Market. I learned a few things:

1. You must look good everywhere. (Really nice fancy flats are fine too. Heels are an added bonus. Extra bonus points for designer heels.)
2. Always carry cash, chances are, you will have to pay for parking or valet somewhere. (Mandatory Cheesecake Factory valet! I'm not even lying!)
3. Just because it's fall doesn't mean it's cold.
4. Absolutely no flip flops in the mall. Refer to number 1.
5. Always keep a spare blanket/bikini in the car for spontaneous beach trips.
6. I'm a true beach girl and will never be a downtown city girl. Sorry West Hollywood and The Grove. I'll just visit, but never live there. Tall buildings shading everything in sight, crowded streets, minimum visibility... oh, just show me the damn water already and I'll be at peace.
7. Drive like you are in a war zone and everyone is your enemy. Also, do not keep a gap between you and the car in front of you. What do you think this is, 880?!
8. Dress and act like you are rich, famous and fabulous. Even if you're not. Thugs do it too. So get with the program already, this ain't the Bay!
9. Pinkberry really is yummy.

I hope that was amusing. =)

Anyways, I am on a quest for a place to live at the moment. My new wonderful friend Lauren is letting me stay at her place this month. But come Nov. 1... I need to have a place! I've ruled out everything not on the coastline...what can I say, it's the Alameda in me.
