You don't know what boring means until you live in Wyoming.  You're an hour's drive away from the nearest Walmart, two from the nearest mall and even further to the nearest airport.

About the same was true after I moved to the northwest corner of colorado, but it's quite different in Fort Collins.

Ask dark_drake all about it.  I'm sure he'll confirm this. :P

Yeah, well, I have lots of concert venues, shopping malls, and the beach. All within half an hour's drive.

But I hate them all for the most part. :)

Haha, I figured that none of the normal stuff would interest you, but at least you have loads of options.  Where we live, it was video games, reading, academia, hanging out, drinking... things you do to entertain yourself... haha.

Nonsense, you could go out and shoot some animals or hike or fish or do all those outdoors things.  Hunting and hiking was never my cup of tea, though.  Fishing is fun, though. :D

Sure, but how many kids in high school are tree huggers?

Hahah I have an international airport, two malls, two Walmarts (one super), a super K-mart, big kmart, target, and multiple shopping centers. And that's just my city, I live in a collection of cities and you can easily go from one to another, so total we have like 10 malls within a 20 minute radius, two airports, etc. It's convienent.

Yes, I'm fully aware of the advantages of living in a big city, but I'm also aware of several disadvantages.

I don't like big city traffic.  I don't like living in big towns (the environment isn't as enjoyable for me).  I don't like the crime rate that big cities almost inevitably have.  I don't like the prices of realestate in most big cities, etc.

+1

I hate going to the mall, in 15 minutes I could get to 3 different malls, in 30 I could probably get to a good 5 malls.  15 minutes to the beach, which has the concert hall(s), aquarium, etc..
