Hi comet, welcome to RAF!  I'm Tara, and I think it's incredibly funny that you grew up in Colorado and moved to Boston, and I grew up in Boston and am moving to Colorado XD

Right now I live very close to Boston, actually.  I grew up in Winchester, Mass.  There are a number of us RAFians in New England :D

Also I'll be 26 in June so don't feel too bad! And my boyfriend Dave (Pez001 who never posts) is already 27...the jerk.

Haha...actually I thought that was pretty funny too.  As much as a I love Boston, I am jealous.  You will enjoy the weather lots as it's a lot warmer!

Hmmm...do I sense a RAFian get-together New England style??

I was actually surprised at how warm it was when I visited!  Must be the altitude and relative lack of humidity...a couple days ago it was 36F at night here in Boston and usually that isn't too bad, but I swear to god, it felt like negative a billion.

As for a New England RAFian get-together, I'm sure we could round up Duff (who is in Lowell), Zarris, my man Dave (Pez001whoneverposts) and myself :)  We might even be able to drag weathel, he's in Portland x3

My preferred hangout: Cambridge :P

comet, Myittens (:P)- where in Colorado? Anywhere near me, per chance? I'm near Colorado Springs.

Just to get away from the New England talk. I was feeling left out.

Haha..I'll be moving to Boulder, Lumie, which I think is maybe a 2 hour drive from Colo. Spgs.? (I love highway sign abbreviations xD)

2 hours is about right, yeah. Cool ^_^ If I wind up moving back to Boulder (which is a distinct possibility at the moment), I might have to bug you occasionally :P

Sure!  I don't really know anyone in Boulder except for a couple of students at CU and my boyfriend Dave (who technically isn't there yet, but he says he's moving with me, the big softie :P)

So it'd be fun to get together :)

And comet, if you ever find yourself back in CO... ;D you'd be welcome, too.  In the meantime...so Cambridge? XD  It's all good if you're weirded out meeting people online, but I promise we're not psycho killers.  Just ask Jess, Liz, Claire, estrid (Kat), Duff (Tim), Shenmue654 (Kelly) and weathel (name withheld XD), they just think we're the lovable kind of crazy!

Just to get away from the New England talk. I was feeling left out.

I grew up in suburb of Denver, about 25 minutes south of the city (so right in between Boulder and Colorado Springs).  Denver is actually known to have 300 sunny days a year, so it's super nice.  Everyone in Boston is always saying I should be used to the cold coming from Colorado, but I have to always tell them that Denver is actually super warm and dry :D  Colorado Springs is a really cool city...we used to visit Garden of the Gods a bunch and hang out in the area.

When do you move to Boulder Tara?  I would definitely be up for some quality time in Cambridge (I'm a green line girl, but I always love visiting Cambridge :D)

Green line eh?  Is that BC, Northeastern, or something else nearby?  (I live near Alewife so I'm a red line girl XD)

Yeah I love the idea of 300 days of sunshine a year!  And I'm moving to Boulder probably around June or July, unless Dave finds a job earlier than that.

Haha, neither...Tufts.  I just live in Brookline because it's cheaper than downtown (although not by much).  Anyway, let me know if you want to plan something before June/July :D

Yeah, the city's waaay too expensive...even the 'burbs are tough to afford.  It sounds like some of the towns near Boulder will be much easier on the wallet in that respect. 

Are you in Tufts downtown, or in Medford?  I live super super close to the Medford campus, ten minutes tops.  You're probably downtown, I guess, since you live near there?  I have a friend who's starting her dental school residency soon at Tufts Dental :D

I'm at the downtown campus, but there's no way that I could afford to live actually downtown.  I'm looking for new apartments at this moment because I'm spending WAY too much on my current one and I'm a poor student. 

Boulder is super cheap...you can even get an entire house if you want with a yard and porch!

Totally depends where you are in Boulder. I tend to think of the town as one of the most expensive places to live in Colorado. 30,000 students means anything sort of near CU campus is actually quite pricey

Yeah, I hear you on the poor student end of things--I'm quitting my cushy pharma lab job so I can go pursue paleo again and live off of ramen and other quality sodium products XD  Why am I doing this, again??  Hehe...what are you studying downtown?  Just curious, since most of those programs are med or nutrition based and I did biology as an undergrad (yeah...nerdy xD).  I was at UMass Amherst though, out in what passes for the sticks in Mass.

I'm completely fine with living in one of the L-towns, I'm pretty sure I'll bring my car...and the bus system seems really good in the Boulder area.  It looks like you take your chances in Boulder, the lower priced stuff is maybe a little project-ey?  That's what ended up happening to me at my apartment out at UMass...another big school with lots of housing demand in a relatively small area >.<

comet, my cousin lives in Cleveland Circle...if that's not already where you are, maybe things are a bit cheaper there?  I think that's on the green line, too...
