I am a little torn. But buying a house is a priority for me. And believe you me, I've already done a thorough real-estate search, picked the house I want to live in, and made it the wallpaper on my computer. MARCY--I am sorry I knew a girl named Melissa once whose writing was a lot like your's.

Really. Water towers, green trees, I love it all.<br>2 – I have a friend getting a PhD in Columbus. They love it, and they got a great house for cheap. And it's family-friendly.<br>3 – Hawaii is expensive.<br>4 - Tsunamis.<br>5 - Pearl Harbor. (Hey, the harbor's still there, and it's still an easy target!)<br>6 – Cleveland = The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Columbus is closer to it than Hawaii. Not that that matters to you. But it matters to me.<br>7 – Arizona: I agree, bad idea. Although it is close to Utah, should you ever want to make a quick road trip back to see family.<br>BUT…<br>1 – The BEACH! The tropical warmth. The laid-backness. That’s what I like about Hawaii (well, my image of it, since I’ve never been there, I just know people from there and I know there are beaches there.)<br>2 – That’s my only objection. Not that any of this matters to you, raelly. I'm just offering a sustaining vote.Elizahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07224019886652781526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323946469515000921.post-19841930718471170862005-02-02T09:46:00.000-08:002005-02-02T09:46:00.000-08:00Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

I found his behavior to Rosie O'Donnell abominable, but lately I have found Rose O'Donnell abominable, so what can you do? But there's no telling what will happen re: Ohio/Hawaii. Maybe we'll end up right in the place that we are now, only unemployed...Carlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09795034572517405008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323946469515000921.post-3026779418443802392005-02-02T06:28:00.000-08:002005-02-02T06:28:00.000-08:00I guess your vote would count more in a swing stat...I guess your vote would count more in a swing state, but Hawaii would also be a change of pace for you since it is a blue state. And maybe in Hawaii you could live out your dream of restoring an old folding chair. Gosh, this comment is getting dumber by the minute. Also, watch some old Magnum instead of the Bounty Hunter for some Hawaii inspiration...oh wait...Tom Selleck.Marcy Dibbleblottshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14251428860888284925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323946469515000921.post-21152962346475791242005-02-02T06:24:00.000-08:002005-02-02T06:24:00.000-08:00Come to OHIO!

But, I do remember a random Thanksgiving at an uncle's house in Columbus when I was really little...good times...<br><br>I TOTALLY understand the "Aloha" awkwardness. That made me laugh so hard.
