Magic in a magical land

Feb 18, 2008 20:13

Today was one of those good days that make you kind of forget about how sucky all the other days are. The kind of day where you can answer every question in class, haul ass on your run, and do 3 and a half strides with only moderate to severe pain. And drink chocolate milk for lunch. Yep, one of those days where nothing big goes wrong but all ( Read more... )

Drop Memphis, it sucks, you'd live in one of the suburb areas around it. Nashville is awesome as hell though. I'll probably end up in Austin sometime, and also, you should get the hell out of America, they pay a lot more, and it's free traveling.

Well I would travel out of the country, but I have this dog.... hillsie February 19 2008, 04:37:11 UTC

I had no idea Memphis had so many haters. I figured it would be kind of cool, like the next big Southern city after Atl and NOLA.
I was set on Denver for awhile, but something about Colorado creeps me out, like skinheads and militiamen and people who have 18 kids live there. Boy am I making broad generalizations about a whole group of people based on a few perhaps not even half-truths.
And I've thought about Austin every since I was in high school. And I keep coming back to it.

Get rid of the fucking dog, Hillary. He's holding you back. Also, no matter where you go in this country, something's gonna be the same about it. You know why? People will live there, that's why. You'll be a nurse and take care of sick people. Sure, they might not look or sound the same, but they're people just like in Mobile. Just something to think about.

Oh, I didn't mean that to seem like "you're doomed to take care of sick people" or anything. I meant that people are people plain and simple.

Well at least when I'm taking care of sick people outside of Mobile at least ALL of my conversations WON'T go like this:
Me: "Hi! I'm Hillary. I'm going to be your nurse today" (commence therapeutic relationship and assessment)
Patient: "Hillary? Not like Hillary Clinton? Were you named after her?
Me: "No, retard(I mean sir/ma'am) I was clearly born before 1992.
Patient: "Well we don't take to kindly to that name around here. Too bad, you're a cute girl"
Me: "Thanks" under breath: I hope you break a hip.

And stop trying to steal my dog. I know you love him and he loves you, but I'm never going to let you adopt him. You and Matt will have to find a fur child of your own. Might I suggest a teapot poodle?

Austin, anywhere in North Carolina (biased towards the entire state), and charleston would be great.

Memphis does suck. It's true. But other than I'd say your top picks are solid.

I think the only cities I wouldn't like would be Atlanta (90% of the people I know that live there (quite a few) hate it), St. Louis (the Midwest sucks besides Chicago), and Tallahassee (mecca is to muslims, as the cradle of rednecks in Florida is to the city of Tallahassee ).

I spent about two weeks in Tallahassee working on the illfated Kerry campaign freshman year. Did you know Leon county, of which Tallahassee is the county seat, is the 2nd most liberal (defined as percentage of registered/voting democrats) in the state, second only to Miami-Dade county.

I don't know very much about St. Louis at all. Why does Memphis suck so bad???

anywhere in the mountains or by a warm water ocean with the optional estuary being a bonus.
