You guys are giving your reasons for wanting to live where I do, and they are the exact reasons I DON'T want to live here. e_o

It's a lot easier to get to know people, and they tend to be friendlier.
People around here act TOO familiar with you. I prefer being called "sir", you know, like you call strangers who are dudes. EVERYONE around here calls strangers "hon" or "sweetie". Seriously, you can't buy anything anywhere without the cashier saying "You have a good day, honey!" I mean really, just shut up.
Also everyone around here is crazy (I mean holy shit really) ultra Baptist. Not bashing anyone on here who is Baptist, but these people are batshit insane. I have had the crazier ones try and 'save' me through the drive-thru window at work.
i mean fuck
just take your daisies sandwich

My perfect place would be more rural, but not too far away that I'm in the boonies. Rural enough to have horses but not too rural that you gotta drive an hour to Walmart

I live 15 minutes away from the nearest town (population of 6000), and most people in the area live outside of town and own horses. I hate horses. :I
Walmart is just on the edge of town. Everyone goes there for everything from their industrial-size bottles of grease to their XXXL pants.
seriously why is everyone here fat
just stop eating

Basically...I want to live in a place like where I was born :< I grew up in a small, private property with the entire park (like 5 acres or so,) to play fireman with my dog on and a bayou with wild blackberries at the edge of the property and a big pack of deerhounds to tease when the owner wasn't looking. I miss the small town friendliness and how everything is small business and local. Getting jobs was easy because you always knew someone who owned a business or could put in a good word for you.
We have wild blackberries growing down towards the southern edge of our 8-acre property. The northern area is all forested. Maybe two acres are cleared?
And I swear everyone in town knows the two guys who own the ten McDonalds in the area. You could walk up to a random stranger and be like "hey, I need a job" and they'd say "hey, let me call up Bob and see if he could get you a job at one of his McDonalds"

I currently live in a major suburb and while I guess it's nice to have just about everything I need within walking distance, I find it pretty daisies boring. It's too noisy and loud for me. I prefer quiet and natural settings, where I can lay in my yard and look at the stars and actually see more than 6. I find cities and suburbs to be too unnatural - not enough woods for me. My idea of fun is to go out and take pictures of wildlife and such and there's a distinct lack of wildlife in the neatly-manicured lawns of rich old people >.o I enjoy visiting the urban areas, especially to go to a theatre or concert but the idea of living in one appeals to me about as much as staying in the suburbs does.
I like Astronomy, so that is about one good thing about living out here. I can actually SEE the Milky Way (with my glasses on hurrdurr) and the Andromeda Galaxy (with binoculars, although it is just a fuzzy spot).
and then CN complained about everything
