ITT: Where you been?

edited April 2007 in Social Entropy++
This thread is mostly to satisfy my curiosity about you bastards. I notice we have a lot of well-traveled heathens posting, and think maybe we can talk about that. Pull up an ottoman and grab a cuppa by the fire.

Where have you lived? And feel free to provide any details you want.

I'll start:

- Altus, Oklahoma
(Born there, parents moved when I was 6 weeks old)
- Riverside, CA
- Big Bear Lake, CA
- Apple Valley, CA
- Fallbrook, CA
- Long Beach, CA
- Benbrook, TX
- Ft. Worth
- Dallas
- Boulder, CO
(Filthy land of hippie fucking scum. Nuke it.)

    - Houston, Texas
    (Born there but left after a year and a half)
    - Somewhere in Ohio
    Didn't stay there too long and fucked if I can remember what I ate for breakfast let alone what the town was named
    - West Grove, PA
    Lots of trees, hills, and Amish folk. Also being near Philly has the perk of delicious cheesesteaks.
    - Champaign, IL
    Too fucking flat, cold, and everyone here fights all the damn time about the Cubs and the White Sox when really, baseball is just fucking stupid. Watching them all cry when they lost the Super Bowl was great though. Go Eagles.

    Also spent a month and a half in Montreal, Quebec for work. That was probably the best month and a half of my life, though I don't remember half of it.

    Nice. I am about to graduate from there (here?) in about 4 weeks, then head up to Chicago.

    How the fuck did you end up in the middle of Illinois after spending so much time in Asia? My only guess is Peoria but you would have been pretty young at the time...

    Is there anything actually good in Vegas? I mean for living, not for drinking/gambling/whoring.

    My brother's been there since 1997, but he's a douchebag and chooses to live places where you can be a douchebag.
