I love living here because ?

 I love living her because ?

   Cottage grove in a super small town upper end of a large valley in the state of Oregon and  I like living there ! I hesitate to use the word love as it a pretty strong emotion.

I have lived in other town and cities - some smallish like Roseburg and some huge like NY-
but I like living where I do !

Cottage Grove is an old town with some interesting historic sites, and some cool architecture,buildings  and alley ways .
Another reason I like living  here is because it hold lots of unique  possibilities for me to practice my photography .
It has many classic old homes and closed mills  that make great backgrounds for my models.

I also like the location of the town because its close to lakes and rivers where I can swim and fish .
The town is close to larger cites where I can easily find Goodwill's and saint Vinny's to add to my photo props . there are also many chances to get out in the nearby forest or bike ride for miles on the bike paths , or Rollerblade and run /walk my dog !

The town is small! somewhere  around 10,000 so it is sorta laid back and friendly .
when I travel 20 miles north in to Eugene I always notice the pollution in the air because the number of cars and other factors because of its size.

Yes I like living in Cottage Grove .
To me it the right size , has the necessary locations , and its clean and friendly .


my second essay in class :} enjoy

When you hit rough spots in a relationships.How do u get back to normal?

first of all let me start off by saying this is a work of fiction it not true !  It was  the topic , so here's what I came up  with . I'm not gonna mention  names ill use xxxxx for names
enjoy. BTW any feedback on this is great or any of my work for that matter 


When you hit rough spots in a relationships.How do u get back to normal?


I have this friend named xxxxx !
   He is one of my best friends but oh boy do we hit a few rough spots every now and then .

xxxxx likes to be a diva , and wants all of my attention when he wants it for instance, whenever we go out to the club and another friend comes up to me , he gets all jealous as hell !
He wont socialize with anyone . He always always always looks bored, and wants to leave early

xxxxx likes, no -xxxxx love to be in charge ! but never pulls it off very well .

 If xxxxx calls me and I don't respond right back , he gets really upset .
as if he should be the most important person in my life . some of the things he will do is call me and hang up .
he will tell me he's not my friend anymore and he will call me names .

One thing that I found that helps gets up back to normal is to give him space to think it over !
 when he calls ,usually fairly quickly after a blow up , I invite him to come for a visit  (as we live in separate towns ) or I invite him to go clubbing .
I also let him come up with a idea or a planned get together .
        
  But with xxxxx there's no guarantee that anything will work every time
but for now we still remain best friends




                                                    the end
that was the first essay in my class they only have to be 5 paragraphs  or so :)
