The Plan

[flamingsword]

Now that I've snuggled myself out, caught up with reading the friendslist (@ skip=140, geez you people write a fuckton), made that LOLrockstar, and cooked the boy Molly's Mom's Meatballs, it is time to hammer out the Plan.

The Plan: Make Dallas Cool.It's a multi-step process, so bear with me

Bah. We're too busy down here trying to Make Austin Weirder.

Dallas has a lot of weird, but it's isolated, insular weird. We have to chill out the mainstream and possibly put the Southern Baptist Convention on prozac, but we have the building blocks for an awesome city, assuming the right configuration can be put in place.

"and possibly put the Southern Baptist Convention on prozac"
The only way I see this working is if you decide to baptize them in it as "holy water", because I'm not sure if many of them take communion.
Sounds like a fun plan though, count me in ;0

Just come to Seattle, we are the coolest weirdest place in america. Plus we have LOTS of VERY GOOD coffee.

But it's expensive to work ther, and my accreditation wouldn't transfer. And neither would my social network or Knowledge: Local. You're the only person I'd know up there, and you can't get along with my SO; that would make me grrsome and crazy.

But why put all that effort into making dallas into what seattle already is? in the long term it would take less effort, time, and money to just move here. interesting people are all over the place here. _I_ have been finding new social networks of cool people hanging out in coffee shops and such. And you know how bad i am at social stuff. You'd be a kid in a candy store.

I like having hobbies wherein I interact with other people. You're thinking that this will be a chore rather than a source of fun.

And while I am sure that I would love it (coffee, freaks, overcast) I am also sure that Seattle doesn't need any more maintainance from me, whereas Dallas needs to be rescued from the mire of middle class morality and lukewarm social scenes. And you know how I love to fix things. :)

I'm not sure what Doug's LJ is anymore, so you can tell him for me:
Just saw an all pink motorcycle with a few stars on it with big bold letter's that said "Pink Ranger" on it.
The girl riding it had the pink ranger outfit and helmet to go with it.
It made me think of him fondly ;)

LOLrockstar = *snerk*

Yay plan! Except for the luring part, that will suck for me, assuming I'm the right sort of cool to be lured, or jigged :P, away. :P

My sister said it best, "I know you like to live like a hermit, but your secret is out, people do know you exist. Our neighbor didn't know we had a sister for 3 years."

Me: "That's pretty awesome!"

I support this plan! Yay!
