    thinking of moving to another city. right now it's kinda expensive where i live. Found a nice apt. but kinda further away than hat i was hoping for. It's about 30 minutes from work (right now i'm about 15-20 minutes), rent is real good. neighborhood seemed ok.

    What do you see as the drawbacks, other than a somewhat longer commute?
    that's the main one. Other than that just not knowing the area and complex too well. It's kinda in the middle of "nowhere". Well i wouldn't say nowhere but less populated than where i am now.
    Did you feel happy and comfortable walking around your potential new neighbourhood, or did you feel uneasy, like you were trying to convince yourself it's a good idea? What about amenities within walking distance, like stores, coffee shops, restaurants - whatever you happen to like. Is there anything about the new commute that would be better; for instance, it takes longer but the roads are less crowded, the drive is more scenic, etc. Figure out what's most important to you and make sure that is what you are paying attention to when you make the decision to move or not. Don't try to convince yourself that a cheaper rent is worth leaving a place you feel good, unless your current rent is unsustainable. Good luck!

    Wedding update... Had 2 shots, danced the night away, great night... Until my date ends up in another guys room... She has already friend zoned me, but Im still really pissed. I have a 4 hour drive home with her tomorrow, how can I make this somewhat bearable or what should I say to her to make her guilty? Fuck this...

    Can't she find her own way home? She found her own way to someone else's room. Sorry to be mean, but she can get home on her own. That should make her feel guilty enough.
    It's not mean, gets the message across and sets the boundary from then on. Tell her to ask her stand in for a ride home.
    You don't abandon people 4 hours from home out of petty revenge. It really doesn't matter what the person did unless it's something criminal. Ditching someone in a different city when you're their ride is an asshole move, and i'm very glad Frankie took the high road. :)
    Frankie is definitely nicer than I. And what they chick DID was childish, selfish, rude, and completely uncalled for. It's one of those incidents that makes us women look horrible! And people that think it's ok to excuse away obnoxiously rude and inconsiderate behavior, by saying. " we're just friends", piss me off. So yes.. Frankie is by far a kinder person than I. I'd have gold her she can ask her stick pony for her ride home. As for petty revenge. Nah, just equally tide and obnoxious behavior in return for hers.

    Can't believe it's been a whole year since I went on a trip of a lifetime to Europe! I've probably thought about those 16 days every single day over the past year. So grateful I got to experience everything I did, and share in it with my best friend (who was a huge reason I was even able to go on the trip in the first place), too! Seriously wishing it was last year all over again!
