guess i need to join a gym

[xfer]

do you guys have some kind of Midwestern eagerness to prove your region is cool? jake deadair continually engages me in conversations like this:

ozmagreed: i'm going to see kayo dot and then mike doughty and then anal cunt and then belle and sebastian this week
indieradioisdead: thats cool
indieradioisdead: i'm going to see the cornstormers
indieradioisdead: have you ever heard of the cornstormers?
ozmagreed: umm no
indieradioisdead: they're like des-moine-influenced punk rock from the dubuque scene...soooo good
ozmagreed: there's a dubuque scene?
indieradioisdead: yea...it's not as good as cedar rapids', but it's a bit better than keokuk's
ozmagreed: oh right nothing can really come close to the cedar rapids scene

nah I'm not saying the midwest is cool...just that, after living in the chicago area which is too insanely built up and urban and crowded, that Columbus is, as cities go, not bad. its clean, and the people are polite. still, I recognize that I'm really only here because Dept of Defense paid for my move when they were closing my base in IL, and I needed to work.

I'm a northeasterner at heart. Just as soon as possible, I'll be the fuck out of florida for good and in NH or MA.

 

[lizard]

yes, if I had my way I'd be living in NH as well.

I only pay $25 a month for the local gym here. It's pretty nice too.

 

[minxnim]

the gym i want to join here is $120 a month. my ex used to pay for it for me.

 

[minxnim]

what ian said. i assume, if i ever have the chance, i am going to dart back to massachusetts. i can't help it. i just want to.

I'm just giving you flyover types a little ribbing!

amanda, i can keep you posted on openings at AIDS Action Boston. there aren't too many permanent ones right now with the economy, though.

 

[lizard]

envy is just oozing from your every post!

 

[minxnim]

i'd honestly want a totally different kind of job. ie, NO MORE OFFICES i may even move back there for medical school? who knows? we'll see. maybe MIT. maybe i'll work at dairy mart? it's all good. thx.

 

[lizard]

just look at this beautiful vista!

 

[xfer]

I can get you a job at an ice cream/coffee shop in Brighton where you can work with interesting and pleasant people!

 

[xfer]

wait, is that the whole city?

 

[lizard]

yes! the most populous city in ohio. also the most liberal.

 

[mindspell]

Go north people. Go north.

I am paying 250$ a month to stay in a 3 bedroom house. Of course it is a friend's house but I don't think he is doing me any favours...

i prefer to live in a country where i can deny the Holocaust happened without being thrown in prison, thanks.
