DC is really great. i could fall in love with it easily. the beautiful buildings, weird mix of houses, great trees everywhere, and tons of public spaces full of people. i felt like i belonged for the first time in a while - everyone was reading, whether on the metro, in the park, even walking along the street. tons of people, average people like me, were biking around, to get to work, for fun, for exercise, whatever. people dressed interestingly and boringly, there were cool shops and ethnic restaurants everywhere, and mostly a city full of randomness, you didn't know what the next street was going to look like, who would live there, etc. it seems so perfect, so unlike St Louis, Sacramento, Colorado Springs, and Tulsa - my past geography.
i know i'm missing out on a great opportunity to move to Minneapolis, but you have to make choices, and right now, I think DC is the best choice for me. If only for the people who at least seem somewhat like me. St Louis has been great, but I have explored so much of it alone, as if nobody in the city knew of the greatness we have. My favorite neighborhood here doesn't have one park bench, and though I have many times sat on the grass, on a stone fence, on the sidewalk, i've been the only one there, enjoying the air, been stared at by those who don't seem to understand the joy of being in a public space.
so i'm looking for jobs there, maybe a non-profit, some kind of low-level management job, maybe in a hospital. I don't know, but I hope i'm reaching in the right direction and I'll find something soon enough.
