It was 10 years ago that I left my hometown in the middle of nowhere for the shiny newness of Seattle and I don't really regret my decision. I have had opportunities here that I would have never had back home. But as always with the sweet, comes the sour. Seattle is pretentious! I mean really pretentious. When people aren't trying to tell you how to live your life (and its done in the patented passive agressive way that you can only find in Seattle) they are ignoring you (as only a city so entralled by technology could) Like that omnipresent social misfit in high school. Yeah, he was the smartest, but he was also socially inept, rude, and surpassing in asshole tendencies that would make any jock bully cringe.
So, I love Seattle and I hate Seattle in equal measure.
