Congratulations to Joe, Stephanie
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

LA feels so much like home to me, I think if I had to move away for whatever reason, I just wouldn't feel right any more. I suppose we all get used to whatever eventually, but this is my city. I belong here.
On the other hand, if this friends-moving-away trend were to continue, eventually I would start to feel pretty bereft, and my "home" would start to feel pretty empty.

Steph, ~ma to your boss.
As far as places go, Worcester is not HOME to me. It's too much of a city. I could see myself feeling more comfortable in one of the surrounding towns. Although, our current place doesn't feel as city-ish. I wouldn't want to live where I grew up either, though. HOME HERE is Cape Cod, Narragansett, the Italian Countryside, and really anyplace in England. London is the only city where I have felt HOME HERE, but I think I would still prefer the country.

Our wings are not tired
I was kinda surprised to find LA being home for me. I grew up in San Diego and had a feeling I'd go back there. Then things shifted and I realized it was New York or LA for my career. I ended up in LA and figured it would be okay, but never the place for me. A few years later I realized that this city has felt more like home than anyplace I've lived.

Hmmm.... falls -- Sunday, a friend of mine was stepping over a 30" - the leg on the ground twisted - and broke in three places. Really she wasn't doing anything- and well, being in the neighborhood I am - there were all kinds of people around to see her being driven away in the ambulance. Of course it doesn't help that about three years ago she had a dramatic bicycle accident that broke her foot.
I'll settle from bringing down the crockery if I fall ( but no knife rack please)

I'm not sure about Seattle, still, whether I"ll stay here long-term, whether I"ll end up back in DC, whether I"ll move somewhere else, or the WHY of each of those things (convenience, a partner, a job, a sense of rightness, whatever), but I suspect I could fit in pretty easily wherever I decided to move. Make friends, etc. OK, maybe not a small town with no gays and no liberals, but...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
New York City is home and was before I ever got here. There are other places I'd like to live for a while, but I think I'd always want to come back to New York.

NOT. HOME.
Yeah, I couldn't live someplace without gays and liberals and artists (I said that last one already, didn't I?). Or any place too white, without a lot of exposure to other people, languages and cultures.
