Get the Palookas mug.Paloma is an amazing girl. She is very hot and has a great body: muscular but also thick. She has a big booty and is not afraid to shake that thing. She also has nice boobs that she shows off in her classy clothes. She has olive skin and brown hair. She is very random at times and she's all for yolo so her hair might also be dyed. She plays a sport if not two, most likely soccer and/or field hockey. She's very kind but she's extremely sensitive. She has been bullied a couple of times and she never thinks well about herself. If you ever meet a Paloma, make sure to make her feel special because she will fall for you immediately. Paloma is a hippie but also emo because of her past experiences. She is probably in love with pop culture and twenty one pilots. She's a basic girl and the way to have her love you forever is to care about her and show her love. She is beautiful but only certain guys see that in her; the very same guys that she find special.

Get the Paloma mug.living within the palo alto bubble is pleasant, because palo alto has a lot of genuinely good people. i remember whenever caltrain stopped at palo alto, the train operator would announce: "palo alto, friendly village". no other train stop would get a comment like this.
palo alto is materialistic. we really enjoy spending money, eating out and living large. there is a peaceful, tolerant, beautiful vibe in palo alto with a tinge of ignorance.
palo alto is not the ideal town for young people. nearly everyone who grows up here ends up leaving to seek out and discover the real world. they seek excitement and danger because they have lived their lives sheltered for so long with everything served on a silver platter.
you will usually see K-12 kids and middle-aged people walking the streets.
there exists a pestilent substance-abusing underground which many of the high schoolers who spend their parents' money on weed, alcohol, cocaine and ecstasy inhabit.
also, some kids growing up here hate this town.
gunn is extremely overrated. the students are more concerned with getting into a highly prestigious college, as if this guarantees high income. its quite a delusion that pervades gunn. academic achievement is valued over actual life-learning. the GPA matters more than your actual skills! that is why many people ive talked to say they absolutely hate gunn, and i've had a damaging experience there as well.
