I hear you on suburbia, Aimee. I've tried urban, and though it has many advantages, it's not for me. I've only been to Philly once, the year the World's Fair was in Knoxville, so I must have been around 13, but it seemed very clean and full of history.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And to think some people like Baltimore for the crime rate! No, I'm kidding. It's just how we "met".

I need people who smile back at me as they walk past.
If that's what you're going for, come to Atlanta. The smiling unnerves visitors.

Punishingly Intricate
but it seemed very clean and full of history.
haha..not so much with the clean generally. But, definitely, full of well-preserved history!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Drove me crazy when I first moved there.

I would think "So early to be stoned," but that's just me. One day I should visit, though. Lots of Atlanta cyber-bunkies.

Suits me fine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Closer to our familes in Michigan, but far enough that my MiL isn't going to jump in her car and show up.
This was exactly what I was thinking, but wasn't about to post because, well, I'm not you. But I do remember you talking recently about both (a) missing the close family connections, and (b) being driven slightly nuts by weird family dynamics, miscommunications, total lack of communication, etc. Philly seems like a good place to be close enough for regular connections, yet far enough for solid boundaries.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Yay for Matt's Mom! I'm keeping the ~ma going.
Aimee is obviously thinking Philly because it's closer to me.
