[Opinions] Re: Hilda & Olive
Aw, I love Drew Barrymore. I don't think she pushes the quirky, I think she's just VERY Californian. The hippie quirkiness is just who she is. ;) **Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam/Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine, and a side order of ham**

Well, while I've been to California multiple times, I don't think I really have a handle on the cultural scene. I tend to think of either really rich celebrities, surfers, valley girls, the money oriented people of Orange County, etc. I know these are all stereotypes, though.I do know that among the people I grew up with, California was considered some kind of bohemian utopia. It was the ultimate answer to "Where did you want to live when you grow up?" Answers came with a dreamy sigh. Only the very coolest of people lived in California to us.

That's interesting, to me. Where I live, it's not utopia, lol. Well, maybe it is if you're super outdoorsy, but it's not THAT different from the rest of the country, in a lot of key ways. I live waaaaayyy up north, though, almost in Oregon. It's different, up here.I have met plenty of people like Drew Barrymore, though. My region has its share of crunchy types, and they have that same super chill, I-want-to-run-naked-in-a-field-of-daisies attitude, lol. Maybe that's why I defend her, it doesn't seem affected, to me.

Yeah, considering all she's been through, she seems pretty grounded.
