It Usually Doesn't Snow in Florida

violetboregaurd by violetboregaurd · Jan 28, 2004 · 183 views · Journal

I have been kicking around the idea of moving to Florida. Yes actually moving to the Sunshine State. Packing up and going - but my whole life is in the greater New Jersey New York Pennsylvania area. What do I do?
I want to be a little more settled at the end of this service year - not "settle" but a little more sttled, I am warring with my conventional side. Part of me still loves being such a kid but having health benefits once might be nice. ;-)
So what do I do? If I move to Florida it'd be the Central area - Orlando, Deltona - that area. I have only been there on vacation so maybe I should go and stay to see if it would be a possible place to live.
My dad said not to judge a place to move based on vacation - and he's right. But the weather is so fantastic and I know a few people there. Not really any family but I know some people, plus in Jehovah's organization you ALWAYS know someone, right?
Anyways you would all be welcome to come and visit and have a place to stay - but moving I know is a huge undertaking.

These are my thoughts - these are my reflections - I wanna listen to some Sublime.

I toyed around with this idea for a long time but I decided Florida is not the place for me for the following reasons:
1) It's too hott
2) Old people go there to die.
3) Only great attraction is Disney World and Miami.
4) Miami was real sketchy.
5) Key West was pretty cool but there's really long bridges connecting it to other places and I don't like bridges.

Really? Hmm think I should go and travel around the state to see whether I like it or not? I mean I love Disney World - oh and I am ALWAYS cold - so the heat is cool.

thatdarngirl #1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I enjoy the heat and summer too..but it gets a little to hott for me there.

miami. my uncle lives there and i've visited for weeks. but parking is ALWAYS sooooo hard. everything is pretty expensive. either you're hott or you're NOT. things are superficial. i love going there but i think living there would be quite difficult. and as lynz said, "people go to florida to die."

violetboregaurd #2.1 violetboregaurdOG 2003

yeah i got invited last year to go out in service on south beach with a sister from my old hall - she was going on one of those singles things... hmmm - last time I saw Wild on.. field service just didn't fit the surroundings.

my cousin lives just outside west palm...you'd get along with her really well, she's 20 and a pioneer (shut up dellaquilla!)

i think her and her friends have a lot of good times around there, service is always fun with them.

violetboregaurd #3.1 violetboregaurdOG 2003

skaorsk8 #3.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

violetboregaurd #4.1 violetboregaurdOG 2003

violetboregaurd #7.1 violetboregaurdOG 2003

I always wanted to go to australia... hmmm be a surfergirl? Allright - I'm inspired by the Weezer song - "You take your car to work, I'll take my board, and when I'm out of gas I'm still afloat."
