| I feel like I'm at a certain point in my life where I'm not really tied down anywhere and I should get out and try something new, because that option isn't always going to be there for me| -Amen. Very wise if you to realize this. I remember sounds_sound telling me that his brother had a hard time moving to Seattle because the people there were "cold," and hard to get to know. But since you've got family there, you should be alright.

Go for it!

Also, often where one friend goes, others follow. Perhaps you'll be the first of the group to head there and others will follow?

Good luck!

I might say that that is a product of my brother more than anything. I think he has Aspergers.

    I remember sounds_sound telling me that his brother had a hard time moving to Seattle because the people there were "cold," and hard to get to know.

I read that online somewhere too when I was doing some research. I'm not sure how to feel about it. I think Minnesotans have sort of the same reputation (reserved, somewhat passive-aggressive), so I suppose maybe I'm already used to that? I am sort of worried about moving away from my friends and not meeting anyone new out there (I'm not exactly shy but not all that outgoing either).

    Good luck!

Thanks! And thanks for the advice, I think I'm leaning towards going, just having reservations.
