Anyone who's hung out with me long enough in blogland knows that G and I are not content in Tulsa. As a matter of fact, the search for our "new city" is going to be greatly accelerated in 2006, especially since G will have had his technical writing job for a year, and I...well...I've practically become furniture at this point in my job, so I'm more than ready to move onward and upward and away-ward.

When I saw this test at Communicatrix's blog, I had to take it. I wonder of Minneapolis would be considered adequate for a "Bohemian Gentrifier" like me? Portland? Seattle? Vancouver? [Cracking UP at that term and the quote]!

This is so true of me, though. I am always the person who is looking for a way to take a potentially bad or "ghetto" situation and spruce it up with a little paint! Flea markets and farmer's markets make me downright giddy, because I love seeing potential in things that look like they should be on their way to the garbage. I love creating something out of nothing...I've had to do it for so long now, it's actually become fun. I definitely tend to think outside of the crackhouse, which is why I'm highly adaptable.

I think it's the Bohemian Gentrifier in me that feels so at home in The French Quarter and San Francisco. I love old, old, centuries-old buildings. I don't mind a little visible decay here and there. I love signs of people taking the old and finding a way to preserve it for today and for the future. It's the misplaced European in me.

Okay so, if you in the bloop take this test, make sure you come back and tell me what ya get!

Rowhouse 'Hood
You scored 28 out of 40 on urban-rural and 29 out of 40 land intensity.

People know you as: The Bohemian Gentrifier
Quote: "That crack house just needed a little paint."

Your score indicates that you are a city-dweller of the old-school. You like a dense, finely grained neighborhood with restaurants, churches and brothels all on the same block. Although you've never spoken to him personally, you know that guy Eddie down the street is a pimp and you're sure to tell your lame suburban friends about him at every opportunity, just to freak them out.

The bad news is that as more and more people like you move into your neighborhood it gradually becomes less cool and more expensive. Enjoy things while you can, because in 5 years you're going to have to move to the next 'hood uptown.

Examples of places you should live: Baltimore, Philadelphia
