I'm sorry hun. You should so not be there. I have met some damned nasty evil from Ohio... on multiple occasions, so now I'm skeert of the state.

Cally was right: Winnipeg is the worst city I've ever seen.
melbourne australia:
i wouldnt live in frankston or dandenong or any western suburbs
i would not live in sydney.
the only other state i would consider besides melbourne would be qld.
i will only live near the beach....geez im a fussy bitch.
I don't have much love for Ohio either. I've been there 4 times and each time something fucked up happened. The only redeeming trip was when I got to meet Melora from Rasputina on my birthday but I ended up losing a jacket and not finding any good food to eat in Cleveland. My first two times there I visited friends in Marietta (once I got very sick with a fever) and then Bowling Green where I had one of the biggest anxiety attacks of my life and proceeded to wander the streets in a vintage blue prom dress.
So while Ohio itself isn't responsible for these things, I just have some bad associations with it.
I would definitely never live in North Korea or anywhere in the Middle East. I haven't traveled as much as some people, so I don't know if I can really give a good opinion about this. Most of the places I have visited have been okay, but hardly any of them have made me want to stay. Manhattan was especially annoying to me. I find it incredibly uncomfortable to be that close to so many people.
I like Houston, but not only does dancing here suck, it's fucking humid year round. August is HELL. I think it's a fun city to visit and there's always something to do, but I don't think I can ever get used to this humidity.
And Macomb(sp?) Mississippi.
the carolinas, the midwest, new jersey.
Londonderry, NH. Biggest assholes ever!
The only thing I like about Ohio (besides CK of course!) is Cedar Point! That place should be in Cali or Florida.
Anywhere that it's ok to marry relatives.
Anywhere that the whole town collectively has one set of teeth.
Anywhere that is so small, that people's phone numbers have only one digit.
So, I guess we're talking about...Arkansas????
J/K. The last place I'd want to live would be Tennessee. Hated that state, hated the clubs, hated the people and hated that people called me a "yank".
I tried telling them that I was a Mets fan, but apparently, humor is lost on them.
Bendigo, Freezing cold in winter and a drought in summer
What about the rest of Australia? Remember we are a continent thus there are plenty of places that are beach-side as such not just QLD. Darwin has some nice beaches. Adelaide has nice beaches.
As for QLD tho' ... the whole coast is beach so you would have to be more specific ;)
Teethofthehydra, your post cracked me up. I lived in Santa Cruz for a while and it is pretty much how you said. However, I grew up in Eugene, Oregon which, I would say, is even more uptight about being socially conscious and ridiculously PC, and then added to that the fact there is no beach and no sunshine and no San Francisco an hour away, I would never move back.Quote:
Santa Cruz, CA. I have never been in another place where I was so completely surrounded by people who wanted to talk about mindless hipster shit
Oh, and shittiest town I've ever visited is hands down Tuscaloosa Alabama.
Houston, hands down. I hate houston. and not just for working either!
It is called the "Arctic", for reference. I've been close, but in the actual arctic circle. My parents have, because they're in the military. The closest you can get is a place called "Alert", where they go for training. I've gotta say, don't knock it 'til you've tried it. I don't mind cold though, but's the coolest. They have rabbits the size of large dogs, who will SIT UP and THREATEN you. Haha, my mom saw one get in the cargo plane, and she ran off scared. They asked her if it was a wolf (lots of those there too), but she was "NO! MUTANT RABBIT!!!"
I went to Yellowknife to ice-fish with my dad when I was a kid (we lived in northern Alberta). The Northern Lights there are sweet-ass. Red, blue...not just the greens we'd get where we lived. Plus bus-loads of Japanese tourists who spend a fortune to go there and have sex under the northern lights, because they think it makes magic babies, or something.
Winnipeg, on the other hand, is just as cold, and has nothing to redeem it. lol
So much anti-Nj-ness. :'( I wish more people felt that way and stopped moving here and raising the rents!
Anyway-Anywhere near Pittsburgh! I loved the early growing season, I loved the ability to antique easily 'cause no one knew what awesome stuff they had, but ARGH if anyone says 'How'boutdemStillers?' to me again, my head will explode. The Indian food was sad and it seemed like everyone over 20 was married and had 17 kids.
Ohio as well.
And anywhere hot. I can't take it. There's got to be a place where the temp doesn't go below 20 or about 80.
Hell, I'm originally from the Steubenville/Weirton area and I get the creeps just going back there to visit family. If I stay longer then a week, I start getting panic attacks. It is by far the most depressing area I know of and you couldn't pay me to live there :-\
Haha, "magic babies"......that's not exactly it.....in Shinto, it's believed that conceiving a child, or bringing a baby to see the Aurora Borealis is good luck. That's all, it's just supposed to help your child have a happy and fruitful life....not exactly magic, just mildly religious superstition. Shinto is pretty spiffy when you get down to it. Magic was taken more seriously in the Heian period. There was a famous Onmyoji in the Heian period named Abe no Semei, "Onmyoji" was a type of magical preist in Shinto. There's still a lovely Shrine in Kyoto devoted to Abe no Semei. Pretty cool stuff....there's a great movie of the same name that came out a few years ago, (mollyzmoon, I think you'd like it) I'm into Japanese history and folklore....as you may have guessed by my username : Kitsune literally means Fox.....but in legend, Kitsune could be human or fox, good, or mischeivous.......
okay, back on topic.....I would never live in SD either....I love visiting the Black Hills from time to time, but I couldn't live there.....I think I'd love living in the arctic circle....I love the cold,and hate hate hate the heat....ick! I'm a strange bird:P
hmmmm... Sunnydale Ca.
Weird shit happens in that Sunnydale.
I want to live anywhere where there is GIANT BUNNIES.
Ahem.
I WOULDN'T want to live...anywhere rural. Also, I was not fond of Texas...
