Hypothetical question... sorta
If I were to be moving, say in December '07/January '08, where should I move to and why?
I have a few thoughts, if I were to move, and I have reasons for all of them:
Boise, ID: I could stay in my home state and be payed slightly more for the work I already do if not find a better job. Moving expenses would be cheap and I could find a place very easily. This is probably the safest of all my options but it's also not too much of a move. It's just a larger version of the city I'm already in.
Portland, OR: I have a group of friends in Portland that would be fun to hang out with and it wouldn't be that hard to get some roomies (I might even get to keep my current roomie, Brian) I love the city and the culture but I don't know what I would do for school. I could get there for little money and if there were to ever be some sort of emergency back home, I would be able to fly round trip for 100 bucks.
Louisville, KY: I love this city and the people in it. It's a beautiful place with its own unique culture and attitude. I have many friends here and finding a place to stay wouldn't be hard at all. I would more than likely live with my good friend, David. The only downside is how much it would cost to move there.
Lexington, KY: I have only been here once, for a liturgical prayer seminar with Vine & Branches Christian Community. I stayed with my Anglican friend, Kyle (infamous for his e-yapping) and his roomie, Jesse Pack. I don't know where I would live but I think that this would be a good place. It seemed like a nice city and it's only a short driving distance from the school I want to go to. Moving expense would be about the same as for Louisville. Expensive.
Well, those are the 4 main places I'm considering. Also, for much lesser reasons, I'm thinking about Durham, NC and Philadelphia, PA. But I don't know what I would do for a job or anything. I just try to make a common life alongside of people who I have never met and try to survive that way.

I'm interested in why you're thinking about Durham.
I'd vote for Lexington but it's probably for selfish reasons. Jessica and I are hoping to move back that way before too awful long. Plus, I think that Central KY may be the most beautiful place in the whole world.
If I were you, my fear would probably convince me to move to Boise or Portland.
My stance, though, is that you can't do better than Kentucky. Preferably Central or Eastern. But, you mentioned wanting to work so probably not Eastern.
The cost of moving would, of course, be a challenge. These are the fun decisions you get to make.
E-yapping? You should move to Lexington so I can beat you with sticks.
Moving across the country is more expensive than moving across the State, but in the grand scheme of things, how bad is it really? You should sit down and do the math.
I don't think you'd have much trouble finding a job you like around here, either.
To say nothing of our budding monastic commitments and badass Anglican dissidents...
LOUISVILLE LOVES YOU!
Miami. =D
I agree with roberto. =P
