Moving on out?
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.)

2/3. I do like the climate. It's not too hot, not too cold, and rains a lot. It's not particularly humid. Summers are generably mild, with a couple hotter weeks in the middle. They're sunny but not overly hot the rest of the time. Winters are also pretty mild - we get snow maybe for a few days to a week if we're lucky.
4. We get the occasional windstorm or ice storm, but that's about it.
5. I've never had a problem with the public transportation, though my experience is mostly limited to buses. I find them to be inexpensive. They're - to steal a phrase from another commenter - clean enough that I've never thought about it. (To tie in to the next point, I meet all sorts of interesting people on buses.)
6. It's beautiful here - lots of scenic places. The natural attractions are cool, too. The weather is pleasant, there are lots of spiffy people about, and a good art scene. (Seattle itself is a fabulous city - there's bunches of nifty places to go.) It's very easy to find outdoorsy things to do.
7. Parking? Sucks. Well, at least in Seattle. I don't live in Seattle itself (and I don't drive), so it's less of a problem for me. The mosquitoes are freakin' annoying, though only a problem in the warmer months, and I expect less so in larger cities. (This is what comes of wet places with standing water. They're not nearly as bad as in Minnesota or Alaska, though.) Aaaand...it takes a bit to get anywhere.
8. Don't have the cash for it right now, more's the pity. And you'd have to put up with my art nesting~!I'm not familiar with either of those banks, so I have no comment on them.
