This is a neat article on Zim and how Vasquez feels about it...

Heh.. it's so weird. My whole family lives near where he lives (in California) and I really despise going to visit there (my grandparents live in L.A., my mother's family lives up in the Bay Area), even though I was born in Oakland. I don't know why I have such an adversity to California, I mean it really is a beautiful place and it was where I was born and all... maybe I'll get over it when I'm older, especially since it seems like everything cool (and everyone cool) happens (lives) there. x__x;;
