In nine months time the lease on the house I'm renting runs out. Two of my housemates are in a relationship and will be finding a place of their own. One of my housemates is my older brother and wishes to live by himself in a one-room apartment. That leaves me the odd man out. I don't really have anywhere to go.
Because of that, and a host of other melodramatic reasons, I'm moving across the country to begin a new life. I'll probably rent a room in a house or an apartment with strangers.
However, I don't yet know where I'm going. Through a thoroughly researched and logical process of elimination, I've narrowed my choices down to the cities listed above. Below are brief reasons for each city.
Boston, MA: I don't really want to move here, but a number of people I know are already here.
Chicago, IL: One of my friends says Chicago has great skylines.
Los Angeles, CA: I want to be a writer and this is where Hollywood is. It makes some sense.
New York, NY: I want to be a writer and a number of major publishing houses are headquartered in New York.
Seattle, WA: I find the word "Seattle" to be aesthetically pleasing.
There are probably other cities I might want to move to, or perhaps even places that aren't cities, but I don't know what they are. To diminish my ignorance I plan on posting a thread in a message board I frequent and seeing what the other members suggest.
Other factors: I will probably own a car when I move. I've heard that having a car in New York is bad and that having a car in LA is necessary. Anything else to consider concerning cars? Anything else to consider concerning things I haven't mentioned?
I want to be somewhere populated by young people doing interesting things. I'm not really one to go out and do interesting things, but part of the reason I'm fleeing my hometown is to force myself to try new things and experiment - a well-thought out plan that can't possibly fail.
Apolyton, go!
