Where are you from? Where are you now?
« on: February 06, 2001, 02:57:00 PM »
I thought it might be fun to see where you guys come from and where you'd like to be.

I'll start:

I was born in Las Vegas, New Mexico (yes, there is a Las Vegas in New Mexico), but I don't have any memories of it.

I grew up in Mendocino (its the town they used in the intro sequence and as the location in some episodes of "Murder She Wrote") on the north coast of California.  Its a small, rural town with a population of about 1,100.

After graduating from High School in 1991 I moved to Marin to attend a Junior College.  I have been down here ever since and am now working in San Francisco.

If there was work on the north coast I'd move back in a heartbeat.  I HATE urban and suburban areas, there's way too many people.  I much prefer the calmer pace of rural communities.

Unfortunately, the work is in the cities.

How about some of you guys?

 He's not joking about the middle of nowhere!

I lived in McCloud for 6 months after ETS from the Army,just a short hop down the road.

 I was born in Claremore,Oklahoma - I grew up 15 miles away from the hospital in Catoosa.

 I joined the Army because I couldn't stand the place and swore that if I returned it would be to buy the town and turn it into a toxic waste dump.

 A year in the butthole of America <Columbus,Georgia> and the rest in Germany and Oklahoma was looking pretty good again. 8^)

lol mietla, I'm not a socialist. Politically, I'm a neoliberalist.

Liberal in the European sense means the opposite of what it means in the US . I'm for a small state, limited taxes and so forth  .

I wouldn't know where to go in the US - it's a BIG place.

we don't need any more liberals either  

We can export them as is.

BTW, where did Alex Baldwin and the rest of these finally moved? I hope it's Denmark.

Born in Thames in the Coromandel of New Zealand. Moved round a bunch of small towns till we settled in Pahiatua (small rural town), then moved to Palmerston North at 8yrs. Went to Massey Uni at Palmy, then moved to Wellington (capital) 2 years ago.

I wanna go to London for a couple of years to rake extra-ordinarily large sums of money from contract programming   Then come back here and buy half the country.

Born in Tucson Arizona and still here. Done a bit of traveling accross the US with the "blessings" of the Army. Most favorite Army visits were Panama and the north central part of California.

PS I'd rather vacation in Panama any time than Mexico and I live 65 miles from Mexico.
