i'm getting super pumped! i've got my phone interview for the job next week, so send me some love :'D

I think we could get along :'D Centipedes are total fiends. We get those here too because it's humid. The first night I was in my apartment I saw a prehistoric leftover. I am. Well that's because everyone on the internet is male XD That'd be great, thanks : D

"Occasionally there will be a LOT of them and you won't want to ride a bike with your mouth open" I rofl'd :'D I was thinking more along the lines of roaches, which I had no idea actually control the nation's capital until I moved here. Never even really saw one until I moved here. Ha, we don't have any southern hospitality here either, but that's some good advice.

I'd rather have Cleveland's 30 degrees with windchill than DC's 95 degrees with high humidity. haha, yeah DC's summers are pretty miserable. (it was 70 degrees here yesterday for some reason.) plus the bugs >__> which would be another question. how's city bugs up there? i was asked above about hobbies? um, museums, music shows (live music, like small clubs or such), movies, book stores, little coffee shops are all places i like to go to/be around. i'll also be moving there totally on my own, so i'd like to be able to you know, meet some people :'D i can't say enough how helpful all this is! are people as nice in-person? : D

I guess this is probably a silly question but I'm assuming snow removal etc. is good? DC is just awful for it. I'm originally from farther north in Pennsylvania so I can handle a bit colder weather. Though I think DC is spoiling me for winter. But not summer D; Thank you all again for all of this great info! I have a lot to go on, thanks to you all. Takes a load off my mind.

So helpful! Thanks so much for all this input. It's very much appreciated. And actually DC doesn't really have much of a Chinatown as one may think. >_> It's somewhat pitiful. : ( On the food note, how easy is vegan/vegetarian dining?

Sorry! Um, I'm not sure about the budget yet but I'd say probably a thousand a month? I pay 1200 now for my dinky apartment :'D Let me see...by the Lake, in the area of the Stadium, so Google maps tells me. I could very likely get a car after moving, I suppose. But not right away, so the carlessness still stands.

I'm interviewing for a job in Cleveland and was wondering about some advice on moving there. I've already read some of the posts and looked at the relocation guide here on the forums and other sites. I'd like to move somewhere where there'd be younger people (I'm 26 and would be moving there on my own.) and generally stuff to do. I also don't have a car so I'd have to rely on the train (which I also read about). I'm in DC now and have also lived in Philadelphia (so I'm familiar with and really like cities.) And...how cold is it really? >_> Thanks!
