Do you live in a happy or an unhappy US state?

I don't know how scientific their methodology is but this is a fun read.

It looks like we Californians (at least those of us who do not live in Napa, San Jose, San Clemente, etc.) are slightly on the happy side of life - am I reading it correctly?

 

[GemFever]

omg, what's wrong with us! So unhappy!

 

[minousbijoux]

I don't even tweet - would I be happier if I did?

3rd happiest state, woohoo!! I think it's our lack of taxes and cheap real estate.

Or legal prostitution.

Napa Ca. is the happiest city b/c they are always drunk.

Time to get out of the Peach State!

The weather is beautiful in CA and I'm in a short sleeved dress right now. How can I be upset when the sky's blue and the sun's shining?

Kenny- where do you get all this sh**- oops- I guess swearing just comes out when we live in those unhappy southern states...

But yesterday was so cold, and we have horrible traffic and smog. J/K

It almost looks like a political map with the blue and red colors reversed.

I was just going to post that!!!! It really does!

Also, I wonder if they look at residents of these cities or visitors too. Of course people that visit Las Vegas or Napa are going to tweet that they are happy to be there!

Looks like we live where it is relatively happy.

That line from sweet home AL where Reese says you should need a passport to visit. That is sort of how I feel about NC. Thank goodness we only have 11 months left on our contract. I think some areas of NC are nice but we don't live anywhere near them.

And yet, North Carolina keeps getting on all the "Best Places to Live" lists!!

You must live in Fayetteville-I've never seen that city on any "best places" list-haha!!

It WAS cold! It was 58 degrees!! Thank goodness it's 70 today. Whew! I can deal with smog. Makes you tougher and grows hair on your palms.

I apparently live in a "meh" state. That's okay, I feel kinda meh most of the time.

I don't know if I believe in these happiness maps or lists or whatever.

But I am a big believer in "Wherever you go, there you are."
