Can you fix me up with a Microsoft job? You have contacts, right?

Just with Nintendo directly, but they're literally across the street from each other so I don't doubt they have friends over there.
Sweet. Though being an interaction designer for Nintendo would be pretty great too.It's a done deal!
I'd love to move back to New Zealand and fully intend on doing that someday, probably in 3-4 years time.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Alabama and I'm going to live in a trailer park. Or possibly Florida and live in a swamp. The possibilities are endless
If I could move anywhere in the world I guess I would have to live somewhere like SoCal or Vancouver. Tokyo would be cool but well, Japan is super expensive to live in for most people so it's not good for a permanent basis and New Zealand is definitely on the list of places I would 100% move to, in particular I'd move to the vicinity of Auckland.
Realistic options for me? Well I live in South London and it's nice and all but I miss North London really. The idea of being more than a quick journey from my friends is really doing my head in. I like the way it used to be "Hey Steve, come hang out today!" and I could answer with "sure be there in 30 (minutes)" now it's like "hmm I can get there in 1 or 2 (hours) how long you got to hang out?" Otherwise I would possibly move to Essex near Braintree where my brother lives it's cheaper and nicer than London but lacks my friends.
You pretty much summed up why California is the best state.Originally Posted by Miriel
The reason why I love SoCal so much is because I feel like the world is at my finger tips. People talk about how shallow SoCal can be, but in reality, you can be anyone you want to be and do anything you want to do. Indie hipster? Tons of independent music and book stores, farmers markets, and vintage clothing stores. Crafty? Lots of amazing craft fairs, local crafters to buy and learn from, and an entire district in LA where you can buy fabric and decorating supplies. Super nerdy? You can hit up Comic con or catch Video Games Live or go to a fantasy themed masquerade ball. If I want to see some of the world's best photographs, I can just head over to the Annenburg Center. I can go snowboarding one day and the beach the next. I can go to a tattoo and porn convention during the day, and head over to Disneyland to catch the fireworks at night. And the food is some of the best in the world. Almost every cuisine is represented. I mean, there's even North Korean style restaurants. How crazy is that??
Plus you have the beautiful weather. Everything you could want. Except, yeah, there are a ton of people. One of my favorite day dreams is to zap people off the highway with my powerful people zapper of doom.
I grew up in the Torrance/Lomita area and partially in Norwalk/Whittier area. I never lived more than 20 minutes from a beach. I could drive up to Big Bear and snowboard and then drive to the beach and surf in the same day if I wanted to. Any type of food from any cuture I could think of was never more than a 10 minute drive away. I never had the issue of not being able to find a movie, video game, or album (even though the internet has pretty much solved that problem for everyone anywhere now). Any type of subculter gathering or club you were interested in was right there and for the most part people were pretty laid back live and let live (even if they hated you), in public...for the most part. Not to mention so many great musical acts call California home. All this, and perfect weather. You never really realize just how awesome a place So Cal is until you go live in another state for a few years.
God damn I miss California.

I like Kung-Fu.
Diggin' all the CA love up in this thread, guys.
And what a party we shall throw when you get here, Crystal. The likes of which would make party cat want to take a break afterward.
Well other than the fact that you think it's full of Yankees (wrong side of the Mason/Dixon Line) it sounds exactly like what you'd want. Not too big, not too small. Nice mountain weather, but not fiercely cold. Little college-esque town, not terribly far from Atlanta, Charlotte, or Knoxville. Population under 80k, so not too many people. It's a fair ways from the beach, but you could drive it. Way the hell closer than Oklahoma. ugh. I've been TDY there. ugh.
If you insist on west coast, maybe Eugene, Oregon.As long as you don't mind hippies. You could go crazy smurfing cold, like Bar Harbor, Maine.
As you can tell, I like big cities.
I'm currently applying for a number of jobs for after I graduate. Since I only plan on working for a year or two before applying to law school, I would ideally like to stay in Miami, but I'm willing to move to Washington, D.C., New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, or Chicago. Might be willing to move to Dallas, although I think I'd die from having to deal with so many Cowboys fans.

California is basically a warmer New York City. There's tons to do in both. NY needs better amusements parks though.
I briefly wanted to move to Australia but it turned out I was retarded.
lol California is broke.
Just like the rest of the country herp derp...except Virginia.
Oh well, at least even living in Ohio I can still say that I don't live in Michigan.
I like Kung-Fu.
If I could move anywhere in the world it'd be america, most likely CA. But being more realistic I'd move to a small town in Kent I've been to a few times that just really feels like home to me.
