What is it about Minnesota that you dislike Austin?
EVERYTHING except for the lack of competition when it comes to the computer area. That's the only thing I like about this place. Comparing Minnesota to Washington is like comparing a K-Mart to a Nordstrom's (and I am NOT talking about Nordstrom rack. I'm talking about a real high-class Nordstrom's that sells $5,000 dresses and $350 pajamas). I know that comparison doesn't do much to those who aren't in the US, but...
Anyways, yeah. The entire "feel" of Minnesota is cheesiness. Everything's cheap and cheesy. There's no selection when it comes to stores. There's the same store on EVERY frickin' corner! Everything's just one big mess of houses and/or city. It reminds me of the dump behind McDonalds. The people here think they're owned everything. They have some sort of superiority complex when they're NOBODY! They think they're so freaking important and all they do is sit behind a desk and tell people to "go through that door" or "it's right around the corner." It's like dealing with snobby people that act like they're rich and famous when they scrape gum off the side of the road for a living!
People here think they know everything and they're so ignorant! 99% of the people who I've talked to have never even left Minnesota. It's like a child that's lived in a corner his whole life and refuses to do anything or go anywhere because he's "seen everything there is to see and done everything there is to do." People are whacked here! In Washington, everyone was a snob. But at least they didn't think that they were so important when they're no more important than an insect that just got squashed on the car window! People here have no idea what life is like and they all think they've got it so great. I tell ya, when someone moves from Minnesota...they NEVER come back!
Are there any US states you are particularly fond of?
Washington was my favorite....though the steep competition might have given me some trouble if I hadn't moved from there. There aren't many other states that I'm particularly "fond" of. They've all pretty much been the same except for Washington, which was beyond fantastic and Minnesota, which sucks nuts worse than getting stuck in the elevator and having to smell a$$ all the way up to floor 35.
Which states have you seen so far?
In the US I've seen a lot of states. Montana had to have been the worst. I swear, if a terrorist bombed the entire state of Montana, 3 people and 91 cows would be the only casualties.
I've been miserable in almost every state I've gone to because of the heat. I for one can't stand natural heat above 60 degrees F. If it gets hotter than that, I start b******g.
Washington was so great because it rarely got below 40 degrees F or above 60 degrees F. That's probably why I can't stand the heat. Oddly enough though, the cold doesn't bother me one bit. -40 degrees F is child's play.
