Okay, last time I made one of those 'Ask Me Anything' LJ memes, I didn't get all that many responses, so I didn't do it again when the trend started back up. Mind you, I didn't *ask* people many things, so I guess it's one of those situations where karma comes back. :)
So anyway, they've started up again for another round, but this time, instead of reopening a poll, I'm poaching from other people's polls. Yeah, I know that's sort of cheating--and if there's something you want to ask, ask me! You can either comment at the end of this post, or leave a comment to the entry on Livejournal, I read both.
So...to borrow a question that mysticmoose asked of a lot of people: If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I could cheat here and say that it wouldn't matter where I lived, as long as Brett was there. While that's certainly true, it's also something of a cop-out, and there are places that we could live that I'd absolutely hate, so. :) In the spirit of the question...
If I could live in Utah without all the politics and the Mormons, I'd do it in a heartbeat. When people say that Utah Mormons are different than those you'd find anywhere else, it's completely, utterly true. It doesn't seem as if it's *so* bad anymore, but being non-Mormon out there is difficult, and it's not somewhere that I'd want to raise children, if I were ever to have them. But still, if I could live there without the wacky politics and the Mormons, I'd love to. It's beautiful, Salt Lake City proper is practically surrounded by mountains (thus the Salt Lake Valley), and when I went back for the first time in ten+ years, I felt that visceral *tug* that only ever came to me there. That feeling in the pit of my stomach that said "HOME!"
Failing that, I actually wouldn't mind living on Martha's Vineyard, though it's probably hellaciously expensive, and it's part of MA, so the politics there are equally wacky.
I *loved* Seattle, the city was very friendly, and Mount Rainier is such an awesome sight to see. I loved the rain (I'm probably alone in that), and there was some really cool stuff to do up there. If you can get past the marine layer, and the ever-present mist...it's a beautiful place, so *green*.
At one point, too, I had this (very lofty) goal of being independently wealthy and living right off the cliffs off the water in northern California, up by Shasta and the like--northern CA or southern Oregon, as long as it was coastal. I was going to have a stable and breed/raise thoroughbreds. Not so much anymore. :)
So...if I had to choose one, I guess I'd choose Utah, if only because of the way I feel when I'm there. There are plenty of other places I might choose, though, if I were more travelled.
