Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Actually, it's based on anti-depressant sales (or lack thereof).

Huh. Well it could be that in Texas people are more macho and therefor less likely to take antidepressants.

I was thinking the same thing. Low antidepressant sales do not equal low rates of depression.

In fact, I'd wager that areas with high antidepressant sales are "happier," whatever the fuck that means, because people's depression is actually well-managed.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Here's the full lists of factors considered:

Men's Health compiled this list based on antidepressant sales, courtesy of NDC Health; suicide rates, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and the number of days inhabitants reported being depressed, based on the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, accessed through bestplaces.net.

Maybe the folks in Jersey City off themselves in New York.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I adore the name Michael for a girl -- it's not precisely rare, since I never knew about Michael Learned, but have encountered it, well, as many times as I've encountered my name on other people.

However, I'm canonically a naming liability, and I make no apologies for it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've also known at least one woman who went by the nickname "Mike." But I never knew whether her given name was Michael or Michelle. Or something completely different, for that matter.

What is even happening?

I think it is pretty. I just think it would suck going through elementary school and middle school, bearing it.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm not surprised to find my city on the depressed list. It sucks here and feels like the surface of the sun for six months out of twelve, meanwhile people that don't live here think we have "no weather" and are constantly hosting barbecues.
