Moving on out?

[sincere]

It's come time for me to be a Responsible Adult (briefly) and think about my future beyond the release of FFXII. The simple fact of the matter is that after this December, I will have a master's degree and need a Real Job, and I think I'd like to... keep moving. Boston is lovely but I want to try other places too.

But I don't know where. Help me decide!


1. Where do you live?

2. Do you like the climate? Is it very humid or rainy or what?

3. What are summmers like? Winters?

4. Do you have hazardous weather, IE, every year for three months your trailer park is torn up by tornadoes and then you go on TV and cry about it?

5. Do you have public transportation? Is it expensive? Is it incompetent? Is it gross?

6. What do you like about where you live?

7. What is lame about where you live? Be honest, you know in your heart it's lame.

8. Do you want to share an apartment with me?

Oh, and while I have you all here. Anyone familiar with Sovereign or Citizen's Bank, please tell me about your experiences and whether or not you recommend them. I'm looking for banks that don't suck like HSBC does. (...if you could also tell me if you don't have these banks in your area? That'd be great. I'd hate to get Sovereign on high recommendations only to move to a new city and discover there aren't any there. Like what happened with HSBC.)

Moving out is the best thing ever, let me tell you. Very cathardic and liberating. ^___^

1. Washington DC

2. & 3. Climate's reasonable. We had some really hot days this summer, but it was on par with the rest of the country, so the summers are hot but tolerable. ^^;; Winters are milder, more rain than snow. Definitely not four feet of white stuff overnight. And it's funny to watch everyone freak out when there are three inches on the ground. XD

4. When there are hurricanes coming up the east coast, we get some of the leftovers.

5. We do have public transportation! *__* The Metro trains are pretty reliable during the week, slower on the weekends and the buses are on time 75% of the time. Everything's pretty clean, and it's easy as pie once you get used to it.

6. You can't go anywhere without seeing an important building. My ride to work takes me past the Capitol Building and the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. There is an atmosphere in DC that I've never found anywhere else I've lived. And because of the unwritten "no buildings higher than the Capitol" rule, the skyline is lower and you can see the sky. It has a feeling of having wide open space.

7. The tourists. -____-

This summer's been bruuutal. The million dollar question is: humidity?

I was in DC once to meet up with someone I was going to a con with, and the public transportation seemed nice, from the ridden-two-times-for-a-collective-ten-minutes perspective. It was a very lovely place. The sakura were in bloom~~~ *tear*

Hmmm, more humid than Boston, but not as humid as Florida. I might have a bit of a skewed perspective, because I've felt a Japanese summer and nothing is as bad as a Japanese summer in terms of humidity; 90%-100% humidity, twenty-four hours a day. In DC it's humid enough to make my hair not cooperate, but it usually drops enough so that sleeping isn't a big problem. But honestly, compared to the Rochester winters, I will take the DC summers.
