Pairing up with someone else (be it roommate, for me in the case of Audra, or spousal-type, in the case of Tom) has always proved to inspire me to do more. Solo I'm capable of venturing out now and then, or seeing movies... but having a partner in crime inspires one to expand their active horizon. Both Tom and I love travel, and museums, and art, and exploring the city. But when we are together we're far more likely to venture out and actually do those things when we're there to encourage each other and revv each other up for adventure. Plus, there's the blending of interests... heaven knows I'd never take up tennis without him, and he'd never have come to DL without me.
And I'll agree with Chris-- having a group like this, where the spearheading and planning is spread out among people-- makes ALL of the difference in the world. Have I told you lately that LA is a good city if you're on LoT? I told my friend who just moved here, at least.
