3 and 5 are the same thing. You already acknowledge that few people would want to do some of the activities by stating "Even if I have to do this stuff alone."

It's not so much being weird as it is discarding all the preconceptions society has given you. Like, doing stuff alone is weird. Unless that involves a bonesaw and a freezer.

I, for one, am eagerly anticipating this weirdness you speak of.

I'm usually up for trying new places, a la #3, so don't be afraid to call me over, lamer.

Dave did you see my blog entry on weight loss? This one...

I lost so much weight when I moved here, and I've kept it off. That's the first ime I was here. Something about good food begs moderation.

Yes, I did. I always seem to gain weight when I'm down in NOLA, but I suppose if I could get that food ALL the time, I would not gorge myself quite so much during my brief visits. Being able to walk outside without freezing your butt of is also a plus, I imagine. Although it's ridiculously warm (for January) here at the moment, I'm sure that will change.

Also, #3 and #5 may be similar and overlap somewhat, but they are not the same. #5 implies more of a change in attitude. It's possible I might change attitudes merely by doing more things and acquiring new tastes, but also, there needs to be a conscious effort on my part to want to acquire new tastes; otherwise I may not even notice some of the things that are out there to do. I hope that made sense.
