OK, so here's the deal.
I've been living in LA for about eight months. When I got here it seemed like a cool place - nice weather, some interesting shops, lots of people. and a job that seemed perfect.
Eight months later. I still love the job, but...
Eleven hour days. Plastic people who think I'm a savage 'cause I don't drive a car. No friends to hang with. Lonely. Bored, I go to bed at 9pm 'cause I've got nothing better to do. I go to work at 5:30AM for the same reason. And I drink 'cause I've no reason not to --- the curse of being a "functional alcaholic".
So I love my work, and I hate my life. I miss Vancouver. I miss my friends. Here I am, successful, with an appropriately flush bank account, and I'm just plain frustrated with where I'm at.
I think I need to get out of this town, but so far there hasn't been any firm interest. I think if there is I'll flee.
Opinions? Comments> Job offers? I'm open to suggestions.

Since I'm not so good with making new friends, SGLA is not gonna happen ---- bummer.
As for LA, I know now that I don't belong here. I just have to find somewhere that's "right" to go to.
Wishing I didn"t have to deal with all this shit all by my lonesome, but that's just how it is.
