Your Happy Place

If you could live anywhere, where would you live? It doesn't have to be a real place, or even one that's been described before.

I'd live in a huge city, surrounded by endless wilderness. I love dense cities, but I also like to hike and canoe. Maybe...Lagos?

My bed. If I could somehow live my life with only occasionally leaving my bed, I would be happy.

Seconded. And I'd have lots of visitors :D

My ideal place to live would be physically impossible methinks what with it combining several different climates in a tiny area

Naturally. A bed should always be big enough for two, even if there's only one person in it. I loves my big double bed.

Well... I could do with a queen size bed these days. A normal double just isn't big enough for 2 or more people and 3 cats...

Your cats haven't demanded their own bed yet?

Actually, Cabra is known to the cats as Radiator - welcomed to their bed as a source of heat with a bonus automated food feature.

I would have figured the noise and disruption of female radiator and male radiator shagging would have annoyed the cats.

It does... they tend to sit around in the room giving us dirty looks. But sometimes even we have to sleep, and that's when they come sneaking back.

Country house, with a wood, river and small village nearby. I could play village green cricket, sit in my garden and walk in the woods. Bliss.

Heidelberg, Germany minus the tourists. I stumbled onto the place when I was in Europe and saw the sun rise on it at 5 am and immediately fell in love with everything about it. Until 9 am when the travel buses arrived.

Can I ask what in God's name you were doing awake at 5am. I can think of only two acceptable possibilties; just getting in, or sleeping with somebody. Beyond that, 5am is much like 4am, 6am and 7am; a time nobody should ever see.:D

I'm awake at that time.

For work? If not, I really can't see the point.

I miss it so.

Alternatively, although I think the excessively snobbish New Yorkers and Jerseymen bitching would get to me after a time.

I can stand slightly larger European cities than Angers, but I hate American cities much larger than Ann Arbor.

American in his young twenties, lost in Germany and running quickly out of money. That should answer your question.

I am quite content living here in Ottawa- I enjoy the Winter, and we definitely have lots of that. Mmm... I can almost hear the Rideau Canal freezing so I can skate on it...

If I were to imagine a fun place to live, it would have to be a middle-sized city festooned with fantastic architecture, with no pesky automobiles, freezing canals in the Winter, and lots of cycling paths for the Summer. Optimally there would be no Autumn and Spring, but rather a sudden switch between Summer and Winter. It would require nearby woods, and also a reasonably warm ocean beach (Ottawa really fails in that category). Donair shops would be nice. The residents would have to wear clothes that I consider more stylish than Ottawan fare, and it is a must that they break out in elaborate song and dance routines a few times a day. Naturally there would be more hot young Middle- and Far-Eastern women.

sooo..a nursing home for you then?:p

Me..I want to live in a cabin in the woods by the lake. Away from the city-but close enough to one where I don't need to travel great distances for my needs.

I would live in deceptively small-appearing cottage on the edge of a forest meadow. It would have all the modern amenities, a never-ending food supply, HD-TV with a satellite connection, DSL computer connections, clean air, clean water and no people unless I specifically ask for them.

Why Ireland?

It would be easier to suggest a town if we knew your reasons

An ex-girlfriend of mine went to Baylor and what she told me about it doesn't exactly match with that :p
