Job
Definitely think I am going to leave this year and get a job. The question remains, "where?" I have no reason to move to any particular city and so feel like I have no guidance at all about what is the best choice. I think I'd prefer a large city since I haven't ever really lived in one and I am getting sick of small cities with no real activities. Chicago is the obvious choice since it is large and close and thus easier to move to but I honestly don't know if I want to live in Chicago. Why do I have to be so fucking picky about everything?

it's good to be picky about some things, especially the place where you want to live. although, it's also good to try out places to live - you'll never really know if you like a place until you've lived in it. visiting just doesn't cut it.
for entirely selfish reasons, may i suggest boston?
in the less selfish realm, don't forget about places outside of the u.s. - you're young, you can take more chances now than you will be able to later.
mostly, my advice is just pick somewhere that seems interesting and try it out.
And what if nothing seems interesting?
i don't think it's true that nothing seems interesting, though. i think you've just gotten yourself into spot of thinking craziness - when you've thought so much and so long that nothing makes sense or much matters anymore. i do that a lot.
the basic question is: on the scale of interestingness, does any one choice edge out the rest, if only ever so slightly?
it sounds, in your next post, that you like a company in Chicago. i would think that could push Chicago up a bit on the scale (if not for other reasons).
and, if truly there's no particular reason to pick one place over another, i'd say just wing it and pick something randomly. there's no wrong answer here - if you don't like it, you move.
Jess is right on the money.
Moving is an expierence limited only by our imagination.
In the US we are taught that we have to "settle down" and stay in one place to advance in career and in life. And if you do move you have to remain within US borders as if the outside world has nothing too offer. Where as borders are actually much more fluid and you should seriously consider the most wacked out of ideas as a feasible one.
I think that we are taught to fear change when in reality it is change that makes life interesting. Jumping into the unknown is one of the worlds most exillirating expierences.
Okay this is a randomn post but, well, I believe it to be true.
