DU couples who are leaving blue states for red ones out of love: which is more hardcore?

[WindRavenX]

haruka (possibly) moving to the south to be with her kick ass SO?
or me moving to utah to be with my (also) kick ass SO?

Which couple is more hardcore and possibly mentally ill in their choice?

Am I missing any other DU couples who are moving from a blue to a red state in the name of love?

[soleft]

1. I'm going to say Haruka due to VA having one of the worse

marriage laws. You can't even enter into a contract that hints of marriage.

[WindRavenX]

5. yeah, I think I remember an article about that

I think a woman actually was fired last year for that very law--imagine being fired, you, a full grown adult, for co-habing :rofl:

[LostinVA]

17. That was NC, and the Sheriff got in trouble

[LostinVA]

2. Utah -- because VA is Mid-Atlantic and NOT run by Mormons

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. At least I'm going to a very blue part.

[LostinVA]

6. +70% for Kerry and Webb

[WindRavenX]

9. shit

:pouts:

I wanted funny haruka stories in the south.

[LostinVA]

11. Oh, you'd get them

A state trooper's accent freaked her out -- but he was probably from SC or NC close to SC.

[smtpgirl]

53. Northern VA, Arlington, Alexandria or Fairfax Counties?

If in Crystal City, do you go to Freddie's?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

54. Central VA.

[smtpgirl]

56. Central VA is RED unless

you are in Charlottsville (UVA - home of George Allen- macaca), Blacksburg - (VA Tech), or Lynchburg - (Liberty)

PARTY SCHOOL Radford & GMU (My cousin taught physics there)

MD native, lived in NOVA for 10 years, moved back to MD

My college degree is from Virgina though!!

Go to Kilmarnock, Reedville, Luray, Lake Anne, Manassas, Ft. Royal, old Williamsburg, Staunton - RED

Too many places in VA RED

Forgot to add Leesburg, Ashburn & Sterling to that note - All Loudon County

MD Frederick County, Charles County, Anne Arnudel County, and pretty much the counties outside of DC

[LostinVA]

73. No, Central VA is not red -- you don't even live here

You don't know anything about NJ accents, either.

on edit: parts of the Richmond-Charlottesville corridor are red, but that's about it... every place else is blue or purple. Nice fucking stereotype.

[LostinVA]

74. And, Blacksburg is totally not in Central VA

Jesus.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. You are.

Utah makes Virginia look like California. :P

[WindRavenX]

7. but I hate CA

x(

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Utah also makes Virginia look like NYC.

:P

[LostinVA]

13. You're pretty close -- at least VA isn't a theocracy

Poor WindravenX....

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. Yep.

But it's out of love, so there's something sweet about that. If I had emotions, I would be touched. :P

BTW, you and Haruka can't move to NYC? :D

[LostinVA]

21. I would move to NJ if I could get a job

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. Any reason NYC is out of the question?

I mean, aside from cost of living, possibly?

[LostinVA]

23. $$$$$

What I do doesn't pay alot.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. Thought so.

But there are places that are relatively affordable, especially if you're willing to live outside of Manhattan.

I'm not rich by any means, but I manage to make it somewhat. :D

[LostinVA]

28. I know how you make it... Mr. EVOO

[Starbucks Anarchist]

39. Yep...

Selling my body to extremely desperate women with no reason to live.

:P

[LostinVA]

43. That's it

[WindRavenX]

24. NJ is just as expensive as the city

Especially if you want to live in any part of Bergen County (which is near the city).

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

27. Bergen County Blows.

[WindRavenX]

29. silence!

Fort Lee represent.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

33. I used to think Fort Lee was "the country" because it had grass.

What did I know? I was a Hudson County kid.

[WindRavenX]

34. my mom used to think this baseball lot in Hoboken was Yankee Stadium

True story.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

37. Wow...your mom must be related to my mom.

[LostinVA]

30. I wouldn't have to live that near the city

Actually, Haruka was talking about moving down by the Pine Barrens... she's always wanted to be a Piney.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

32. STFU!

OMFG! You are SUCH a B-WORD!

[LostinVA]

35. Piney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. I am not a piney! They didn't even have trees where I'm from!

[LostinVA]

41. True -- that's why you want to BE one!!!!!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

42. Why are you my GF again?

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

44. Because you love me

And I'm awesome and terrific in bed.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

52. I do love you.

And you are awesome and terrific in bed.

[smtpgirl]

59. My cousin lived in Howell

and Toms River NJ, she used to be married to a Citibank Exec, my 2nd cousin graduated from

George Washington University - home of the elder Bushes, all conservative.

My cousin has since moved back to MD in Annapolis, on the bay.

Can't take the MD out of the girl

Eventhough she has a northern Jersey accent with a twist of PG County MD, cool

Joisey, that how she said Jersey, maybe she hung out in the fuckin' north, I'm not sure, but her accent surely changed, not MD anymore

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

60. Neither Howell or Toms River is North Jersey.

That's South Jersey.

[smtpgirl]

61. oh well, fuck my geography, she talks

like a Jersey girl, not like a MD girl, ya know

I'll stay in MD thank you, where I have a job and can get a better job, since I live so close to DC, you know a job with a security clearance, adds so much $ to the benefits

[smtpgirl]

62. did I ever say it was North Jersey?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

63. You said it was a North Jersey accent.

They generally don't come from South Jersey.

[smtpgirl]

65. I know people from Salem & Trenton

and they don't talk like that.

I am a MD native, so what do I know?

[LostinVA]

69. Salem is VERY South Jersey, and Trenton is a Philly-like accent

And, I've never heard ONE NJ native (which I am) say "Joisey," except for a very, very small group of people in a very specific area.

[LostinVA]

68. Toms River is -- Howell is NONJ

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

75. Not if you live in North Jersey, Piney.

[LostinVA]

77. I grew up on the Bay, moran, not in the Pine Barrens

They're scary there...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

79. I'm from NONJ. I reserve the right to call anyone below Trenton a piney.

[WindRavenX]

15. touche

douchebag :P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. Don't get your panties in a wad.

:P

[smtpgirl]

57. Exactly, the kind of southern hospiality

if you are white, have been in Redville in VA too many times

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

58. Well, I'm a petite, white woman so I'm okay.

Starbucks_Anarchist is not. I'm sure he'd still fair well, though.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

71. I'm only a petite, white woman on the weekends.

:P

[LostinVA]

72. But I saw you on Saturday -- you are lying!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

76. Damn!

:P

[LostinVA]

78. You may even be secretly a furriner

[Starbucks Anarchist]

80. I have come to sneak curry into your food supply.

[LostinVA]

81. OMG! I knew my Guinness tasted funny!!!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

82. Just call me "Brown Irish."

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

83. Jeebus

A Hindu Catholic.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. dude i am moving from Manhattan to Brooklyn. thats real hardcore.

:P

[WindRavenX]

10. ahahahahah

You should get better bagels though! There's a great one in Carrol Gardens. omfg. The most amazing bagels...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. bagels and hipsters. and pri.

[WindRavenX]

19. yeah, the hipster crowd is getting annoying

And brooklyn is their nest. So many hip young artists were leaving queens last year and moving to trendy parts of brooklyn. Which sucks because I want to live in Brooklyn someday-- I hate yuppies and hipsters.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. me too

[Ariana Celeste]

26. I left WA for love in IN

I wish he had come to WA! LOL

[WindRavenX]

31. no kidding!

Just so long as it's near Seattle, coz the rest of the state is like, whoa scary redneck :scared:

[Ariana Celeste]

36. Grew up in King and Pierce counties

:hi:


(Not fond of the east)

[WindRavenX]

40. word

Seattle is a chill city. Couldn't live there coz it rains too much, but chill.

A few too many yuppies for my liking, but I'd deal with it.

[last_texas_dem]

45. You are

VA could be a blue state in a few years, while I'm not sure what it would take for UT to go blue! (Well, they did vote for LBJ over Goldwater in '64, so we at least know it's theoretically possible for UT to vote for a Democrat, or at least it was at one time!)

[LostinVA]

46. I know how Utah could become a blue state

The Angel Moroni could take up all the Mormons bodily into Heaven.

That's about the only way it'll EVER happen!

[WindRavenX]

47. lol

The whole story of mormonism is a real treat...:rofl:

[LostinVA]

48. Hehehehehe

[WindRavenX]

49. OMGZ!!! SEEING STONES LOL!!!

ahaha

[LostinVA]

50. Crazy stuff!

[sasquatch]

51. Why won't your SO stay in NYC?

[EstimatedProphet]

55. We almost did

We did do, for a time. The Prophetess came to live with me in Hillbilly Hollow GA for a summer.

[ghostsofgiants]

64. If SLC Punk is in any way accurate, you are.

[smtpgirl]

66. Too much pissin' for me, just giving opinion, not fact

hell, I like scrapple, Rapa Scrapple from Deleware.

MD native, better than VA, the US in one little state.

Mountains, Seashore, monumnets, heritage, crabs, snow, surf, fun.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

67. Yeah, I'm pescarian.

I eat crabs, but I have no clue why anyone would go near scrapple.

[LostinVA]

70. I ate it as a kid -- I STILL have flashbacks to when I read the wrapper at 12

*sob*

HOLD ME!!!
