livejournal world, it is officially your job to convince me that it's not worth it to move to maryland (i.e. silver spring). go!

(or to tell me that you'll still come to see me if i do)

I'd still come see you. Reasons why not... Its maryland. Snow is not your friend. You will be defined as "Oh, that Maryland girl."

Maryland - totally with you there.
Snow - I'll be walking distance to metro. Which means I get less snow days, meh. But it does mean I'm more mobile.
Maryland girl - =P.

can i bum in on some of that coffee drinking/ice cream eating action?

i kind of feel like just about everything in the d.c. area is getting gentrified, with a few exceptions like anacostia. do you have any other recommendations on areas to look for potential roomies?

Silver Spring tends to be pretty expensive, and traffic is a ball of suck. On the other hand, Reston is a long way out, so that is a commute too.

Other than that, I can't think of why not to move out there. Did you find a place?

expensive in terms of... food? rent? restaraunts? other things?

found a room, still somewhat waffling, but i think it'll work out. the plus side is it's walking distance from the metro, so i won't have to actually deal with the traffic bit. (unless you know things i don't - i'm a total maryland novice, really)

Jesus, why would anybody move to the DC metro area at this point in human history?

elf February 26 2007, 02:24:30 UTC

well, i'm already there. the question is more of a where within it should i relocate to?

unless you have some hot job leads for me.

It's not like Silver Spring is all -that- far away. :)

i know!
i mapquested a bunch of things out, and it turns out that it's actually faster for me (driving time wise) to see most of my friends than living in dc proper. which is just weird.
also, my commute would only be about 10 minutes longer than any of the affordable places in dc (and shorter than it is currently). it's kindof nuts.

i think a lot of us have blocks on crossing the state line, though. i am still all like OH, i can't, it's in MARYLAND.

Working all around this area has shrunk the region for me. Admittedly, it's mostly to Bethesda, but that's still MD! :D
