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.
