I think quality of life is becoming an issue for us.
Amen sister.
There is a lot to enjoy, but we don't do any of them. And I can't blame having Em on that entirely - we didn't do much of anything before.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

Punishingly Intricate
7 years ago I had a 2-bedroom house (w/ big eatin kitchen and a back yard) for $500 a month two blocks away from the house I own now. That w
$1200 will get you this, approximately,
in my neighborhood now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I miss what I paid in MSP for my HUGE two-bedroom, but I love living in San Francisco. And I do have a cute apartment.

Ann, that's a ferret.
So which do I wear? Plain green, or white with a Brooklyn Law School logo?
Whichever one is warmer.

Stephen and I got used to doing stuff for free, or thereabouts, when we were in NY (so very young and so very broke), but you can only go to Central Park so many times. We used to go to the Metropolitan Museum and pay the student rate, or just a dollar sometimes, since admission is "suggested". It's hard to live in a wonderful city with fantastic stuff to do and not be able to afford to do it.
Aimee should move to Philly and leave near me when I move back to PA!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The highest rent I have ever paid was the trailer in Arizona. But that's because I didn't have a roommate. $350/mo. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, front porch, storage room, wash house, 2 swamp coolers, and all the scorpions you could eat.

Trust my rage
We want to go check Portland out and see if it's a possibility
A friend of mine lives there and he absolutely loves it, although he says it is a bit gray in the winter.

If former company hadn't been so stingy about not paying for moving expenses, I'd be living there RIGHT NOW.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

DUDE! DUDE!
Portland OREGON, Portland??????

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
There is a lot to enjoy, but we don't do any of them.
This is the problem for us - we do a lot. We go to lots of shows, we do the Museum of Radio and TV Paley festival every year, we go to Comic-Con every year, we hit all the cool stores and stuff. So that would definitely be missed. That being said, though, we are much bigger homebodies than we used to be, so our priorities have changed. Every time we travel to other states, though, we are so glad to get back "home" (GF has been known to sing "I Love LA" once or twice). Maybe we are just talking out of our asses, who knows. The plan would be to keep the condo and rent it out so that if want to come back, we can.
