    I don't think that's a misconception.

    Many people (worldwide) think that all of California is like they see in movies or on TV...

    It's always sunny & warm.
    Lots of palm trees.
    Young women run around wearing bikinis year round.
    Rich people everywhere.
    Everyone's a health nut.

      I know, right? (Hold on, Shuhak: my two houseguests complain loudly when I spend less time with them than I do chatting with you. I’m going to log off and I’ll catch you later. Now let’s see, was I about to rub sunscreen on Tiffany’s back first or on Pam’s back first? Oh, it doesn’t really matter which one I do first, maybe I’ll just do both of them at the same time. Bye!)

    Grrrrrrrrr. Ok, that’s it! I get your subtle suggestion, you win. The love nest that you and I create for our clandestine trysts will have to be in Minneapolis.

    The cops are setting up a perimeter that you'll never get through.

      Randy D: “Watch Commander, wouldn’t you and all of your officers like to mosey on over to that donut shop a couple of blocks from here and finish your shift on my treat? Thanks.” (Wink, wink.)

    It never rains in California. 
    The big one will hit (earthquake) and destroy the entire state.
    Hollywood is clean and glamorous.
    Only wealthy people can afford to live there.
    LA is filled with smog.
    California slang awesome, bogus, gnarly, bitchin, dude.

     . . . that there is anything in California more interesting and beautiful than Bodega and Bodega Bay, sites of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds."

      Well, she knows it’s where Randy D lives, so it’s entirely possible that she does want to live there. (I get that a lot, though. I’m used to it now. Cough, cough.)

      Come on now. “Full of”? Surely you exaggerate; you only know of one such person, correct?

    Yes, I've been known to exaggerate. Especially for literary effect.

      That’s the stage name she prefers to use when she does a particular roleplay persona for me. (Cough, cough.)

      Archenemy or not, you and I certainly seem to share something in common!
