It does seem like a place where you can happily expect to see a mountain lion sunning itself on your porch. I approve.

I don't think I've ever really been west of Arkansas within the United States.
And even then, only really Texas.

Oh shit. I just remembered that I do have a costume with suspenders built into it. I'm not entirely sure I can still fit into it.
Would it count if I was dressed up as the scene from Dumbo where his mom is cradling him through the bars of the train car?

Northern AZ, where I live. Copious amounts of Mountain Lions. They're so friendly, they'll even stalk you long enough to take your dog from you as you have it out for a walk. /truestory.

THAT i'm not cool with. I live up in the heights and we have skunks, squirrels, coyotes, rabbits etc running around. People riding horses down the street. It's really nice after living in the city and suburbs my entire life. I could definitely see myself staying in a place like this..

OregonFor the most part, I love our seasons. This winter could be more winter though.
Oh. I've been up there in the fall a few times.

You guys--what have you been doing with your lives? You need to visit!
I don't know about mountain lions, but deer will happily munch on your garden. Also bears (but not in your garden.) I've seen them often when we go camping.

Random question but have you ever posted on another forum? I've seen your screen name somewhere else.

What makes me miss Japan the most is the transit system. You can get anywhere on a train or bus. Then I came home and had to drive everywhere because there are no trains around here and the buses don't go anywhere relevant. *sigh*

Many people think that California goes straight into Washington: I assure you, it does not.

That sounds lovely. I want to live near a nice city, but have some nature and privacy to myself. Colorado or Oregon both sound like potentials for this dream.

Lol. When I read "California hat" I immediately thought "isn't that Washington?" maybe Oregon needs some good advertising to get people there. Paging stet

Nashville is that way. You could live about 25 to 30 minutes outside of town and be in the middle of nowhere if you'd like. Plenty of trees here haha

The heights next to Whittier aren't bad. You got the city minutes away and nature on the hill. Only downside is freeways are a ways off so getting to downtown or lbc take longer than it should.
heh I recognized the name. Everyone used to troll there. Horrible place.

I live in a medium-sized city (40,000) that's less than 2 1/2 hours from: Fort Wayne, Toledo, Columbus, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati. Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Toronto and Chicago are also all drivable as well.
It's also out in the middle of open fields and foresty areas with a river running through it (that floods in the spring ... -_-).
But on the plus side, we have more restaurants than I can count. I lost track around 50.
If you want that, living just outside of Portland would be nice. While not the biggest city, it is a decent size with a lot of green within the city. There is also relatively good public transportation making getting in and out of the city easy if you want to live in a more countryside area.
I like medium sized cities myself, so Eugene is nice for me. Though I do kind of like San Fransisco and wish I could try living there just once (although it's a bit expensive I think...)

It's just kind of weird to go traveling within the country I was born in. I kind of can't explain it.
But when you've lived here
and here
The motivation to explore America kind of wanes. Which is entirely unfair of me, but it's hard to help it.

I've lived in small towns and big cities and I think I generally prefer big cities.
That said, I'm starting to feel the world catch up to me and thinking of settling down in a town no one's heard of and just writing or working on game theory.
;_; That's why my cat will always be an indoor cat.
"And not a single fuck was given that day"
If thats a real photo, that cat is a boss for standing there completely unaffected.

I think there is this idea that we are boring and not worth a look. And depending on what you're looking for, we kind of are. If you don't want to look at beautiful scenery and do stuff outdoors, we're probably extremely boring.
Yeah, there is so much more that the US has to offer! I am ashamed to admit I haven't seen much of the US myself though (mostly the western third.) This is something I would really like to fix.

Necktie Gaf will finally emerge victorious. la1n would be proud.Yup. Tie and/or Suspenders Friday is nearly at hand. Just for that day we will rock out like hipster nerds.
You're missing out.
Haha, it's definitely a draw! It's hard for me to get used to sales tax elsewhere.
If we're going to be posting pictures of the places we live:
Okay, technically I don't live directly in Eugene at the moment, but I have lived there many years in the past and still go there several times a week.

Never mind that last post. I'm not leaving yet.
Hey, I was just there for a film project about a week ago.
This is home. A little city in the middle of nowhere.
I live nearer to Cleveland. Across the street from my house is a horse farm, down the road an alpaca farm, and at the end of the street a now-vacant house previously owned by an illegal weapons dealer.

It's a hard life, friends. Some days I wonder how I can muster up the strength to go outside.

Best thing about going downtown is all the midshipmen in their summer whites.
