A slave to quiz curiosity

[dr4b]

from that "find where you should go" quiz:

1. Washington, DC
2. Baltimore, Maryland
3. Portland, Oregon
4. Milwaukee, Wisconsin
5. Providence, Rhode Island
6. New Haven, Connecticut
7. Albuquerque, New Mexico
8. Chicago, Illinois
9. Hartford, Connecticut
10. Boston, Massachusetts

etc... Most of these places are not places I figure I will end up, because I will probably go somewhere where I have friends and a vested interest in either a company or college. But who knows.

Hmm, we can prune that a little. New Haven, merciful heavens, what a pit. Pit pit pit. Providence, well, it's not as seedy as New Haven. Hartford, eh. DC, I dunno, under the circumstances...

Powell seems like a fine city. Er, thinko, Portland, I meant to say.

hey, the four block radius in new haven that i live in isn't too bad.

Cuz of the four-block-radius circle of machine gun emplacements?

Yale itself didn't seem bad. If you stay inside one of those courtyards you could see the sky and not be exposed to New Haven at all.

Please don't go to Hartford! It's lame as fuck! There's nothing to see and nothing to do! THere are insurance buildings. Lots and lots of insurance company buildings. And a big ol' mural of some chicks playing basket ball.

If for some fucked up masochistic reason you actually DO go there here are the 'highlights':
-some big factory or something there has these big steam vents that when I was a little kid I thought they looked like big bowls of chicken soup. (this is about as exciting as it gets)
-OK, OK, I *guess* the Wadsworth Athenum is kind of cool if you haven't been there 50,000 times... and the Avery Memorial Theater is right next door--Virgil Thomson's Four Saints in Three Acts premiered there in 1948! OOooo. You know you can feel the excitement.

-uhhh, if you keep driving on 91 N you will come to ENFIELD, the town of towns! Where there are cows! And grass! Yes, plenty of grass! And my parents, and my torturous High School--you know you want to go!

OK, I'll stop now...

P.S. New Haven is a giant ghetto HOLE. Andrew is a liar (as if we didn't know that already) And Andrew, if that four block radius isn't so bad, why are you afraid to GO TO THE STORE AND BUY SOME FREAKIN MILK?? HUH???

Honestly, there's not much there either, besides Andrew and Pepe's pizza. If you go to New Haven, you MUST go to Pepe's--but I would not recommend going there being that 1) it is in CT and 2) it is ghetto as fuck and 3) it smells like ass (though not as bad as saaaay NEWARK!)
Although, I have to say Andrew is a definite plus to any city...

Hey, I go to the grocery store EVERY WEEK now.

I was just freaked out by the security talks at the beginning of the year. They were all, "IF YOU GO OUTSIDE, YOU WILL DIE".

Aww, sally, that is sweet of you to say!

Well, I'll say that I LOVE the Washington, DC area. There are a ton of writing opportunities here, too. All in all, I've had a great 5 years. My career has taken off, I got a Master's degree for under 7000 dollars, total, and I have made so many friends. It's all very cool.

I don't think I want to be in DC. I can't really entirely explain why, but it's too much of a big scary city for me, and I sort of like feeling secure in being in a city where nobody's really going to bother attacking it because nobody important is here.

Also, I don't want to be a writer anymore, really.
