Curiousity like a nun or a negress or a girl with glasses

Schmoo? Yippie! You're finally coming to rescue me from this wasteland!

What on Earth shall I wear?

p.s. How was the trip back to Kansas? Did you makeout with any cute studs? ;)

From:

1. I wish.
2. Nothing ;D
3. I wish.

;)

From:

HAHA! I'm wearing my Powerpuff Girl night shirt with no panties. Does that count as wearing nothing?

Honestly, are you REALLY considering the Kansas lifestyle again? Heh. What am I talking about? I found myself looking for jobs online last week for the Chicago market.

If the school thang doesn't pick up this fall; I have to get the FOOK out of here. This place is killing me, dude.

I'll ALWAYS be a Midwest baby. Besides, there are HOT men closer to the Great Lakes. I wonder why that is? Are they thirty?

From:

That's good enough. :)

See, if you were in Chicago, you would be so close to me if I moved. Seeeeeeee.

Portland is still an option though.

I said it before, I'll say it again: Portland's cool. And I can, like, SEE you there. I think you'd dig it, and it would dig you. Cost of living seems reasonable - and hey, no sales tax :) When I was looking for apts. there I thought the rent quite reasonable - of course, this was compared to Santa Cruz CA rent, which was reedeeculous. US$550 a month for my teensy studio, no pets, and I was one of the fortunate ones. And last I was in Portland I saw a lot of apartment complexes in my Mom's neighborhood were leasing, so that probably means prices are low still - if there's los of vacancy, it becomes a renter's market. And the Hawthorne St. neighborhood fucking rocks! I love it there, it has everything - a hair salon, lots of cute neat junk stores, antique stores, greengrocer, butcher, big evil grocery store, movie theater, good record stores, and a Buffalo Exchange to boot :) And the good ol' mother nature in all her unadorned splendour is just a short drive away - like Sauvie Island. Wow, it's gorgeous. And on a clear day you can see Mt. Hood, it's glorious. And Portland has Wildwood! Great damn restaurant. Also Colosso, a great little tapas bar.

As long as you can deal with rain for a stretch and then nice weather later, Portland is great.

Move to Portland if you gotta move, cuz then when I went to visit my mum I could at least still see you :)

Doode, maybe we should all shut up now and quit asking, Why would you move, DON'T GO!, if you move, move here, Jill Jill Jill we don't wanna let you make your own decision! Do what WE want you to! Sheyit. Sorry girl, that isn't the intention. We'd just miss you so far away in Oz.

But I shut up now. I just thought I'd sing the praises of Portland once more.

From:

peter murphy! mmmm indeed! i just saw him recently. it was super cool.
i need to go buy dust or find some kind soul to burn it for me. *laugh*

From:

I am super jealous! I missed his House of Blues shows. :(
This album (Cascade) has such rainy-Kansas-emotional memories for me. :)

From:

cascade is kinda similar for me. rainy-day st louis memories for me though. close enough! :)

i drove up to dallas for the show with my friend anise. she actually managed to snag like a couple pictures from the show. :)

From:

This makes me happy. Two of my favorite LJers ingaging in rock talk.

You both know how to bring a tear to this ol' girls eye. *sniff*

From:

yay! :)

yeah, let's all head back to the midwest. wow. i feel all happy in this conversation. most people make fun of me for yearning for the midwest again. but but .. it's just who i am, y'know?

From:

HOORAY FOR THE MIDWEST!

*does Milli Vanilli body slam with Amy*

From:

hahahaha!! milli vanilla slam dance. cute!
y'know, i've never been to chicago. always wanted to go though. i think i've got a friend there now. not sure.

From:

I MISS SEASONAL CHANGE!!!
And drivers who follow the "slow traffic keep right" rule.

From:

YES YES!! and food aside from mexican! and snow! and colored leaves!

From:

Don't even get me STARTED on Autumn....*sigh*
And Spring as well...and yes, a little Winter.

Poop.

From:

well, for what it's worth, it's nice to know that i'm not alone. :)

From:

Nope...sounds like there are a few of us. :)
I'm just too affected by weather, dammit.

From:

me too. :)

it just rained here (finally!) and everything feels much much better now. *sigh*

From:

Honestly, sunny days depress the hell out of me more then the overcasted/rainy/poopy days. I say, "bring me death!" I feel better in Fall and Spring weather that the lovely Midwest has to offer. Golly, my ass crack sweats here in the desert- that's unnatural!

From:

overcast october-early december days in the midwest are when i feel bestest.

hahaha!! asscrack! you said asscrack!
you know i know what you're talking about though. that's the sad part. :(

We were mighty close to going to the HOB show in Anaheim, but we flaked out. I'll ask my sister-soon-to-be-in-law if she took any pictures.

Oh, and the Schmoo (http://www.schmoo.org/schmoo6.gif) is one of my favorite cartoons EVER. Figures you'd know the Schmoo. You even spelled it right. :)

Have a good weekend, Jill.

From:

I have never seen this Schmoo that you speak of...I just like funny words. :)
Though, he does look quite kickass. I LOVE THE SCHMOO!

I love that word (and the little guy). When I was a kid, I would watch The Incredible New Schmoo every Saturday morning. I think it was on the same program with Jeannie (as in I Dream of) and her clumsy sidekick, Baboo.
