Hey go ahead, ask away :)

I do enjoy living here, in fact! I wish the job scene was a little better, but it's a great cultural area, especially art :D I like it mostly for having 4 seasons. I enjoy snow!

Right now it'ssssssss.... 73 and cloudy? :hmm:

I've always wanted to visit NY!

I'm originally from California but moved with my family when I was 11. I'm now 19 and living in the mountains of NC.

I agree with you having 4 seasons is great, and very good for artistic inspiration! :D

I totally agree with you about the 4 seasons thing. It's actually really true! I find each season is a different type of creative. Fall seems to be the peak for me in regards to motivation.

Mountains of NC must be pretty! At least I've seen pics of the Virginia ones. Is that a 4 season area? :D Sounds like it could be! NY is pretty wild with weather... the winters get a bit annoying cause they last into April sometimes, but otherwise it's great! The epic fall colors are really inspiring...

Yep! We've got all 4 seasons here too, and yes it is beautiful. Fall is my ultimate favorite season. Waking up in fall and looking out the window at such brilliant colors I can't help but be inspired! The winters here sometimes get pretty crazy
freezing rain and what not, but overall I can't complain. We do however have some huge thunder and lightning storms. Do you have those there...? ( I hope I'm not cluttering up your comments with incessant inquiries)..Would you rather have me communicate through notes?

Fall really is the best, as you said the colors and breeze is just the best. Sometimes spring is the same way for inspiration, but not nearly as good as fall! Winters here are very unpredictable... it's not the freezing rain as much (it's too far north for much rain), it's the lake effect snow. It comes in buckets. Some years its tons of snow, and some there's hardly any. We don't get many big storms cause we're relatively close to the lake, which kind of kills the storms, so it just gets rainy. We tend to get a line of storms, then it cools off. Go ahead and abuse the comment part, I don't care haha. You can use notes too, I don't have a preference.
