Long distance relationships suck. How do you make them not suck?

JohnT, you still haven't answer this question!

And why is Intel making socks. They're a computer company, not a clothing company.

Or is there something special about the Intel sock? Is it a high-tech sock with a computer chip in it? Will it get lost in the wash?

Barrow, Alaska or Albequerque, New Mexico?

That's an easy choice.

Neither.

Neither, but if those are your choices, than New Mexico.

Well I guess we can toss D.C. in there too. My mom says one of my aunts would love to help me out.

so new list:
Barrow, Alaska
Albuquerque, New Mexico
D.C.

Just a quick question, I know you say no to where I currently live because of weather, and many of the things Ive mentioned about it, but why no to NM?

[JohnT]

For two reasons:

1. Albequerque isn't the most prosperous of cities*. Then again, you do live in Barrow.

2. The heat. Moving from Barrow to New Mexico?

*Actually, that's not true. Looking at it at the census.gov site, it is more prosperous than the rest of NM, and is about middle-of-the-road when it comes to prosperity.

Space - if you have any artistic aspirations - Albuquerque isn't too bad. Santa Fe is only an hour away or so.

However, if you have the chance to move to DC, do it. It's one of the most important cities in the world and offers a lot, from politics to culture to atheletics (Redskins, Wizards, the new baseball team). Not too far from Philly, Baltimore, Williamsburg - you could make an easy day trip to any of those cities. Quality colleges and the potential for connections.

With DC added in, this decision becomes a no-brainer. Just make sure that you have access to quality air-conditioning - make sure that it works, and works well, in whatever apartment you'll be living in.

And let's face it: DC is a place where people go to do things, to get noticed, to make their mark in the world. Alaska is a place where people go to hunker down, to hide, to lick their wounds from a life ill-lived. Great things happen in DC, they don't in Alaska.

And try to stay in the Northwest quadrant of the city.

Don't live right in the city. It sucks. Live outside, in Virginia or Maryland. Especially if you're going to settle down and have kids here someday.
