I've been thinking lately about where I want to live as a real adult - one with a steady job, a husband, children. For a while I was convinced that I would be your stereotypical soccer mom from the suburbs. I like the look of suburban living, as it tries to take a compromise between urban and rural. There's only one problem with living in houses that stand 20 feet apart:
There's nowhere you can go to let off a good scream.
I'm finding this problem in Madison right now. Madison has open, uninhabited areas, but if you stand there and scream bloody murder, you better believe someone's going to either come running, or call the police. I grew up on a densely-wooded 2 acres with no sounds of human life, save the highway white-noise. The idea of city living may be attractive, but the density of people has begun to give me body-claustraphobia. If I want to be alone, if I wanted to sit and bawl my eyes out, complete with moaning and wailing and gnashing of teeth, there's virtually no where I could go.
I guess I am a country girl at heart.
