    I really like where I live. A few blocks from Pike Place, about 1/2 mile from the center of downtown, a block from Elliott Bay, near some nice places to eat, next to a big sculpture park, a 42" plasma, a wine rack, a football shaped cooler on the deck, guitars on the wall, good friends, wireless internet, great visitors, and a beautiful woman.....I couldn't ask for anything more.

    Live in a small apartment in NYC (which apartments aren't small, right?). Couldn't be happier. Not only are the available activities not like anywhere else (recently in one week I went to Letterman, The Opera at Lincoln Center, a Mets game, and a stand-up comedy show where the performers were in the nude) but also the ability to make a lot of $$$ to enjoy the activities is all around you. The city is always buzzing, and I can't recommend it strongly enough to anyone who has ever considered living here!

    I hate where I live. The college town here is boring as fuck... there's literally nothing to do off-campus save for going to the shitty local movie theatre. I don't understand how anyone could want to live here if they're not here for college. It's terrible, and the weather is pretty bad too.

    Back home isn't much better. It's just a boring middle class suburban neighborhood. It's nice and pleasant, but it's not really for me.

    I would LOVE to live in Manhattan someday. Hopefully I can get into NYU for graduate school and live there afterwards if I like it as much as I think I will.
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

    I love living in Chicago. I have a cute loft with 11 foot ceilings and an awesome roof top deck. I absolutely love bucktown, the neighborhood i live in.

    I do wish i had a dishwasher and a/c in the summer. But I still love it

    I live in Staten Island, NY. I hate it. I envy all of you who are in SoCal, Chicago, Seattle.... Staten Island, New York is a festering cesspool of hell.

    That reminds me, I have to cancel my Cali-pride lessons for this week. I have finals this week for my Loathe-Detroit class, and I have to pass. Will reschedule for sometime next week. Oh, and this time can we skip over how damn happy your friggin' cows are?!?!?

    i think if i ever had a massive breakdown, id move abroad.

    even older and settled, i think i want to leave the uk.

    London is a weird and wonderful place. At times it grinds you down, sometimes it inspires. But my area is a craphole. I love it and have lived here all my life, but its got progressively shittier here over the past decade.

    Girl are you smokin crack? Crisp and 70? ;)

    I just built a house last year and love it. It's not totally finished yet, but it's more than I could have ever asked for. I live within an hour of boston, providence, hartford, springfield, worcester, new haven, but in a small new england colonial town. and within 1 1/2 hour of the ocean. hot summers, cold winters, spring fever, cool fall tailgating days, and I make the most out of it.
    I love to turn you on

    reschedule granted. Now please study the California Mission Architecture style as it was manifested during the 30's revival period.

    nope - brrrr it was cold this morning! I think it was in the low 60's!! but the sun was out - it just wasn't working...I am hoping that the temp doesnt turn up too much tho - since that would mean another red flag alert. :(

    thanks. It was really very iffy with the rain...mudslides are a danger now too...and there is talk that with the clouds blowing out and a drop in humidity - red flag is prolly a matter of time.

    but it is kind a cold at 70 degrees for me. (I am not kidding) the sun isnt "working"
