it means mixed emotions

so you can enjoy it to some degree, but also dislike it

I live in Vancouver, WA, which is a shit whole. But I can drive 5 minutes to hang out in Portland, so that's usually what I do.

sometimes i like it, sometimes i hate it. it strongly depends on the time of the year and whether or not i happen to think at the time that i should be somewhere else.

it'd be love if the weather was better

but i fucking love bellingham. i couldnt imagine a better college town. Within a 3 mile radius there is the school, tons of off campus student housing, and the downtown area that has awesome local businesses. also it's really fucking beautiful. check this:

I hate its heat, humidity, distance from everyone I know from the internet, trans-unfriendliness, and I guess numerous miscellaneous other things like maybe transportation
and "sad" works too

aside from the issues I have with florida, living on campus at this university is rather nice and I like it quite a bit better than living with my family.

I don't really like Milwaukee that much... it makes me uneasy after dark. Can't really walk around because I don't know all of the safe vs dangerous zones of the city.

I liked Madison a lot because it felt safe, everything you really needed was within walking distance, and it has the highest parks/mile ratio of any city of its size in the country. Really miss it. Thankfully I'm basically there 3/7 days a week and that might increase once I have a car

I enjoy it. It's a college town, the downtown area is great, and we're right on the river.

But man oh man are some people here fans of murder.

As far as the state goes, I love it. Despite what anyone says, I love Minnesota and everything it offers. I'm not saying its perfect but im quite a sentimental person, and Minnesota has my entire past. But this doesn't mean I don't want to leave.

I currently live in Winona which is really a lovely city. The city is surrounded by the mississippi and the Lake winonas and all in shadows to the lush (and currently wonderfully colorful)bluffs surrounding everything. Its a very picturesque city that is actually occupied by some quite interesting native residents.
But i'm just stuck kind of stuck not doing anything here. Just working. Too much. Just barely scraping by with all the money that I owe. And this place, not matter how beautiful, is not some where that I want to spend my life. Maddy and I have been pondering where we would like to move to when this current lease is up. I really want to get out of state, I can always come back.

olympia wa was actually #1 on our list. maddy was actually pretty serious for a while about moving there because of one of the schools there but we of course flipp flopped again but i would love to visit these places still.
i feel like i should at least visit before i move anywhere
but then again moving to a completely unknown area would have its own interesting advantages

pittsburgh is really nice

My only complaint is that there's been a load of construction around my school and there's heavy traffic with the consequence of the air smelling like hell at all hours of the day. akudood;

downtown somehow smells clean, though

I haven't spent a ton of time in Olympia. One of the most hippie-esque areas in Wa, but still very nice and scenic.

I wouldn't discount Bellingham though. I was pretty stoked on leaving Wa one day but I can't see that happening anytime soon. Bellingham is fuckin cool

i give it a 8/10
i live right below the meat-packing district in manhattan, supposedly the most 'trendiest' place in the city
unfortunately, i'm way too young to participate in anything

but it is fun to walk out, there's always something very interesting going on
movie sets, modeling shoots or people's poodles just running around

but i'd rather live somewhere less snobby, maybe brooklyn in the next couple of months

I could definitely say I love Flagstaff. There are good house shows that happen here often and everybody is friendly and for the time being the weather is AWESome but its gonna get cold really soon. That will be ok too I think tho

seriously a beautiful place though with nice clean air and good tap water and lots of stars because there are laws about the brightness of street lights or something cus of the Lowell Observatory.

what kind of music? i go to a good amount of punk/hardcore house shows around here

his music is really guitar driven but then he has a drum machine with really dance-y beats. The band that played after him was a punk band and that is most of what is seen at house shows here as well. How far is Bellingham from Seattle? When i start getting $$ i was gonna make a trip to the pnw cus i gots some buddies chilling around and it sounds better than AZ for a second

Brooklyn is okay.  The music/art scene is really great and the nightlife, while not comparable to Manhattan, is sufficient.  But the community really sucks.  More and more hipsters move in every week since Brooklyn is the "place to be" right now.  Also, the cost of living is outrageous.  I'm planning on moving to somewhere in Queens by the end of the year, likely Long Island City, Astoria, or Flushing.

Brooklyn is probably just as, if not more, pretentious than wherever you are right now.

this place's much more pretentious
in the 30-something yuppie sort of way
it's in the west village near the hudson river

i've been thinking sunset park in brooklyn or flushing myself  lubdoods;

Also Chicago.

Chicago is ok. There is a lot to do and stuff, but there aren't very many tunnels and the exploring scene is really small. I guess since it's small I've been able to become really central to it relatively quickly, which is nice, but I would love to live somewhere with a bigger, more established scene. Also people in general are kind of dickish and economics and politics are the suck. Also yuppie northsiders omg how are there so fucking many. I like Bridgeport. Not as much to do as other places, but cheap as shit for its location and people are pretty humble and mostly keep to themselves, but the grumpy old italian/irish/polish guys are cunts. Also the cops here really bother me.

I voted happy.
