Your parents

[Хahar 🤔]

Married since '93.

They first met less than a month before they married, and they've never had anything stronger than a passionate disagreement. Which is why I find the idea of marrying for love a bit silly, especially seeing the divorce rate.

Yes.

     Well, DC_united convinced me to spill my guts, so here goes:

     My father was named Benjamin William Martin. He was of English descent, though he was born in Michigan. He was a high school Math teacher. He died in a car crash in Los Angeles.

     My mother is named Jacalyn Toni Drexler (yes, I took her last name instead of my father's last name). She's a trial lawyer. She usually works on juvenile & appelate cases, though she also works as a prosecutor & a criminal defense attorney. She was born in San Francisco, & is of mixed Spanish & German descent.

     They lived in Los Angeles when I was born. My mother & I moved back to San Francisco when I was three to take care of my grandparents (who were then in their early 80s). So that's that.

You're from San Francisco? Ouch, I'm so sorry!

     I was born in Santa Monica & lived in Los Angeles until the age of three. I have lived in San Francisco since then.

I couldn't imagine living in that place. It's pretty and all, but if I lived in California, I'd live in Orange County. I couldn't take all that liberalness on a daily basis. Plus, Nancy Pelosi as my congresswoman? Yuck!

People I've known, regardless of ideology, have noted how nice people in San Francisco are.

Anyway, yeah they're married.

Ew, Orange County.



Which county is that giant Assyrian-themed mall in?
