07/26/2004: "Washington D.C, Where I want my home to beeeeee"

For some reason, during my obscure thinking phase right before bed, my mind started pondering where would I like to live, if I had any choice, in the US. I thought of the big places, L.A., New York, back home to Orlando, ect. Then I thought of the smaller ones, like a house in kentucky, or back to North Carolina. My mind however came to one conclusion.

Washington D.C.

Let me get one thing straight off the bat, I hate politics. So why would I want to move to a place like Washington D.C? Well, Ive been there a few times, and everytime Ive been there I have been facinated by this place. I love the history (dont just tell my old American History teacher), its pretty (yes, ive been to the dark side of DC too), and I just like it. But, I dont think I could live in the city, I would probably live in Virginia. Apart from not being able to afford a place in the city...its so small and tighly spaced, so I would probably want to live outside of DC.

I love the museums. When I wanted to be a curator, I first looked there for possible jobs and found that one was avaible at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and I was elated. Also, they had space for one at the National Library. Talk about my kind of jobs.

I like the subway system there. Yes, I know, its a strange thing to like. But, aside from my bike, its my favorite mode of transportation. The monuments are cool, but they are nothing I would stay for. Annnnnd, there are alot of photo oppertunities in D.C. (yes, I know I can take pictures in DC as well as I could in New York). (Hmmm, it almost seems as if I am talking to someone...)

And, for what I want to now do (Journalism), D.C. would be a good place. So, if you could live anywhere in your country, where would you live?
