We have a forum!

[Rhaevyn]

Pardon me while I intrude on you PNWesterners here. I have a longing ache to move to Portland, OR and didn't even realize they started a forum for you all here. Figured it wouldn't hurt to drop by and say hello, maybe get to know some people lucky enough to live where I wish I was.

Well met all

Hi anyhow,
just back from the whitbey goth week, the new craze.... yip you guessed
take 1 pint of cider and black, drink it till half full blow vapour into glass, well it keeps the kids happy!!

[Rhaevyn]

LOL you had to Google Arizona, Bjorn? That's brilliant hahahaha

And thanks Dred, I still pray to make it up there - where my soul belongs - in cool, rainy, misty green / greyness. This 120 degree summer shyte is killing me. I'm a forest faerie, not a snake!

Wee lamb, where I come from summer lasts two weeks in may, thats it
One of my friends works in portland and loves the weather over there, he does miss the vibe of glasgow though the north west of the states seems to be a bit quiet on the music scene. Saying that I'm just back from Sky and Mull talk about quiet ??

google map portree and you will see what I mean

It looks beautiful Bjorn, I'm sure it's not as "fast" as big city life, but what a pretty place. Although I am sure you get snow in winter, yes? I don't do well in extreme temperatures so snowy places are out for me. Rain I can do anytime, but the heat of Arizona summer and snow in the east coast (lived in Virginia for 5 years) just ain't a good thing for me.

Would love to see Scotland one day. I'm Irish, though, so Ireland would have to come first. Many places I'd like to see. But right now I can't even get myself from Arizona to Oregon hah. *sighs sadly*

[Bjorn Toulouse]

Scotland and Ireland don't get much in the way of snow, Glasgow gets two or three days snow a year, Saying that you can 4 seasons in one day. Normaly the west coast of Scotland tends to be grey and moody.
(apart from two weeks of sunshine in may or june)
Ireland is similar to Scotland just lower, grass is just as green.

So what do you do in Arizona??

If anyone else is out there what is there to do in Portland? Im going there at easter
7 nights at whistler - got that one sussed
5 in Van - all planned
4 in Portland - know idea what to do (visiting people)

Hey, Bjorn. There's plenty to do in Portland, but it obviously depends a lot on what types of activities you enjoy... I, for example, have developed an addiction to karaoke...which has been interesting since I started vaping in earnest: I used to choose decreasingly melodic songs as my lungs and voice got funky over the course of the evening...but now I don't have to go outside so much and I'm not inhaling a bunch of crap, it's like I'm starting over.

Rhaevyn, is it just the liquid sunshine you seek from Portland or is there something else drawing you to the Rose City? ...and what is keeping you in Mesa? I've been there once or twice and never got that "black hole" vibe (where a city is so heavenly or hellish that you can't leave) like Yuma seems to be for my grandparents.
