I live in Toronto. It's pretty much a bit, bleak, smelly grey, cool-looking example of your typical modern city, and I adore it for that. It has this subtle atmosphere around EVERYTHING here that I find just awesome, both for living in and being around, and for giving my writer instincts a boot. It's big and arts-friendly, which makes me happy, got a lot of history, which I mostly ignore but is very cool to walk through sometimes, and has Mordor-dark, which I've grown used to. It's also Canadian, which is a big big plus to me, and close to various cool outdoorsy places, farms, plains, and woodsy lake-y camping areas, which I love.


I just spent
my last cent
purchasing this poverty.

I'm jealous of where you live only because Conan O'Brian is going there to do some shows soon.

Without Tucson (arizona), Some old people wouldn't have a place to play golf during the winter.

We have the Air Force Academy, NORAD, and the U.S. Olympic Training Center.

I think that about covers it.

I live in Memphis.
I'm too lazy to provide a history (which would run for pages), so just go look it up on the Internet or something. Big city, lots of people. Ya, that about covers it.

Memphis, TN?

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Discover the secrets of Roosevelt County history, back to the days when homesteaders settled raw, untamed land where only Indians and a handful of cowboys roamed.

Stay in one of our motels, or charming Bed & Breakfast.

Stroll along our sparkling, revamped Town Square and window shop along the many store fronts.

Play golf at our 18-hole golf course, in view of some of New Mexico s breathtaking sunsets.

Spend the weekend camping and fishing at Oasis State Park

So.. fishing, golf, and motels.

Richland, Washington.

We made fissible material for one of the bombs dropped on Japan.

My high school logo is a mushroom cloud. I'm a bomber.

Municipal area I grew up: two hours from snow in the winter, two hours from the ocean in the summer. One big lake in the summer, plus rafting (more like floating) on the river. Close to the city and close to nature and camping.

Then again it's where I met Bloodsage.

Area I'm in now? Trees, Forests, Hiking Trails. No lakes, no rivers, no oceans. Too far from decent cities. Thank goodness our living here is only temporary.

Looooots of water nearby.....
I live in Sneek,Holland (pronounced snake),which is in the north of holland,it's got lots of large lakes nearby,and since i'm a sailing freak it's ideal for me
But i think it's with towns/cities the same as houses.....location is everything.....

Can I come for a visit in May when I go to the tulip festival and will you take me sailing?

I was born and grew up in santa barbara, which has about 300+ years of mexican/american history. It has also one of the coolest missions in california..
the weather is always nice and it is the place that the rich celebrities from LA move to when they have enough money not to live directly in los angeles..

I go to school in boston, which has crappy weather but good shopping and is nice to walk around in. oh, and there's some history too.
