Posted by NSNick You live in Columbus? I live in Springfield! I'm, like, 40 miles away from you! I used to live in Columbus, back when I went to college. I went to a place called Bradford School, located near Easton, east of Columbus. But that was four years ago... As for Springfield, I think it's nice around here. Most everybody else I know can't wait to get out. Only one decent arcade, and it's closed during most of the winter. Otherwise, a relatively decent town. ____________________ My current complication: Girl's name who gets no more than 10 minutes of screen time in the actual game. |

Mid-Hudson Valley, New York. >>
Pros: - It's pretty. Sometimes reminds me of Switzerland, as far as the landscape goes. With more funky tree colour changing stuffs. Yup. Tiny little mountains are amusing. - Nice range in weather for the most part. So far it's been a weird winter though. First big snow last week. Then again, I hear the weather's weird pretty much everywhere, lately. (Obviously not in Henderson, NV, though? ;p) - For right now, I don't really have to do much other than cleaning. Then again.. well, that becomes a con, so I'll list that down there too. :< But not having much by way of responsibilities is a sort of mixed blessing. I don't have to do much, but of course, I should. heh Cons: -Cleaning! Trying to help someone clean when they've had someone doing their cleaning for them for pretty much their entire adult life (almost 40 years?) is really .. aggravating. And cleaning and having the place messy again in well under two hours makes it feel kind of like bashing my head against a wall. My boyfriend's mom doesn't understand good housekeeping at all, or basic organization of .. anything, when it comes to her house. Her style of 'cleaning' is to supervise. And I hate being supervised. heh. She also has this 'cleaning lady' who comes, but all she does is run the dishwasher (which is easy), and does a bit of laundry (which, granted, I'm happy for, because I hate doing laundry. With a passion.). Anything else she 'helps out with' is incredibly half-assed. She 'sweeps the floor' and only covers basic open surface area. It's annoying. She might as well not do it at all. We have 4 cats. One of them is really sick; she throws up all over the place, and .. goes to the bathroom on any available soft surface (couches, beds, etc.) She has meds, but they don't seem to help. And with four cats.. that's a lot of cat hair floating around. Among other things. Bleh. - I don't know many people here. All but maybe.. 4 are people whom I would consider to be 'mere' acquaintances. - I miss my family and friends. I miss out on a lot of things happening while I'm here.. people needing surgery, people dying, people getting married, having kids.. that kind of thing. - I'm not a US citizen, so I'm not used to how things work here. Even finding things when I want to cook is sometimes weird. Different brands, and such. *shrug* - Again with the US citizen thing.. I don't have nearly as many options as to how I live as I would if I was living in Ontario. (I can't work here, and such.) - Health insurance is expensive and aggravating. Filling out forms for every little thing, not being able to buy my medication here, etc. Having a health condition and living in a country where getting anything treated costs either me or an insurance company a huge amount of money is.. x.x; Four thousand dollars to find out the cause of a severe migraine? Yeesh. - I don't really like living here, overall. I'm very much thinking about moving back to Ontario; I just haven't figured out how, or when, or what I'll do once I'm living there, and ..such. Oh, and then.. my boyfriend hates where we live, but he doesn't want to move. Which makes my decision more difficult. But that's a whole other story, so.. Rawr. :x |

Posted by Ice PenguinPosted by Warpriest Well, are you looking at the buildings of the town, or the nature that surrounds it? I gotta apologize, because I'm kind of drunk now. But seriously, if you're thinking of the nature. That's NOTHING compared to what Norway has to offer. But if you're thinking of the buildings; well, that's probably one of the nicest places we have to offer. Though, from my perspective, I was dissapointed with the amount of graffitti here. I have heard that Ă…lesund (also in Norway) is a beatiful town, but it is much smaller than this one, and I have never been there... yet. ____________________ Damage done. |

Glencoe, Ontario, Canada.
Good: Small, peaceful, safe community. No "bad" people. Even the "wrong" crowd are still made up of nice people. Bad: Small, empty, nothing to do. Horrible schools. |
