I have never been to Portland, Oregon, but I am certain I love it there. I imagine that I love the trees, the strange people, and the Pacific Northwest. I also am quite sure that Zooey Deschanel and I would be friends if we knew each other. Maybe in a previous life, Zooey and I grew up down the street from each other in a funky Portland neighborhood.
To test my theory on how well I know myself, the hubs and I took the quiz on
findyourspot.com. It is a fun quiz that asks questions about what you like in a city (e.g., size, weather, transportation) and gives you a list of places that match your living style. Here is a partial list of our cities:
- New Haven, CT
- Baltimore, MD
- Portland, OR
- Hartford, CT
- Frederick, MD
- Salem, OR
- Milwaukee, WI (Holla!)
- Charleston, WV
- Santa Fe, NM
How exciting! Many of these are cities I have felt, without ever visiting, that they would be great. This list told me a few different things. First, I know that I know myself well. My hunch on cities turned out to be true when proven by another source. Second, I have some traveling to do to see the cities I am sure to love that I haven't met yet. And third, I love where I live. Milwaukee is a great city (totally underrated) and I am happy to be right where I am. I have found my spot...for now.
And I am still going to pretend that Zooey and I are besties, and that the flat mates on New Girl are my friends too.
