Personally, I regret giving up my California residency this year, as I'd love to cast my ballot for Arianna Huffington (Whom I've met a handful of times at book readings and rallies and have grown to respect). I had to leave L.A. because the 40k per annum job I was offered was not enough to sustain life in my car-payment-high-insurance-hollywood-rent situation, but in my near three years there (longest Ive spent in any one place since reaching the ripe ole age of 16 and venturing out) I became a real Californian and once I have teaching certificate in hand, I will be moving to SF to teach what will hopefully become a vastly improved constituency. (I only pray Arnold isn't governor when I make it to that point. Even though I have a feeling teachers' pay might be higher if he were.) And thats all I really have to say..
