My sister just set out on a cross country trip to Seattle where she bought a house recently. She moved out there over a year ago but needed to come back to retrieve her husband and more importantly, her dog. ;P I may be making a similar trip sometime in the near future. Maybe not to Seattle but there are a few places upon which I’m deliberating including:

Los Angeles: I have family there and know a couple people there. I’m still intrigued by the idea of seeing if I can develop a career in the Hollywood system and it’s the best place to make some contacts though I’m very wary of the plastic people, constant traffic, and the soulless life sucking energy there. Oh, did I mention earthquakes…

San Francisco: I know a good deal of people there and with the confluence of art and technology, it seems like a good place where I could restart my career. I hear that the heart of the city is quite expensive though and even though I’ve visited several times, I’m not sold that it’s an area where I’d stay long term.

New York City: NYC has always been a city I felt I would always visit but could never live. I don’t think I naturally have the heart to move there but if I could find a worthwhile job, I wouldn’t hesitate.

Seattle: I don’t really know anyone there but that didn’t stop my sister. The Emerald City hasn’t really been on my radar as a place where I’d live but having a place to stay rent free for a few months as I acclimate is somewhat enticing. Though I’m sorta fearful of running into shiny vampires and laughing myself to death.

Overseas: I’ve never been overseas so I don’t know how I’d handle it but there are a couple places I’ve always wanted to live even if it’s only for a short time.

I wish I had a clearer picture of where I’m going but since I’m fairly certain that I’m just wasting my time staying here, I hope to find some helpful advice like yesterday.
