Currently live here:

I come from a land of pristine natural beauty, women who'll break your heart as well as your balls if you cross 'em, a land of brooding songs and private ecstacies, of silence in two languages and deeply-held honesty.

Also, Michael Palin likes us. Suck on that, bitches.

New Jersey, where even grues avoid the waterfront at night.

Hoboken's really nice though. Too bad it's so close to Newark.

Actually, I'm across the state from there, but my sister lives in Jersey CIty, which is basically an appendage of Hoboken

Go south were you can be afraid of the Jersey Devil at night. MUAHAHAHA!


Eh. Actually, you should be afraid of the locals.

(also, I was born and have lived since I was 3 in Barcelona. Between said birth and my 3 years olditude, I lived in Madrid.)

The Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, which surprisingly do seem blue at times even though all the damn trees are green, go fig.

How far are you from Chapala? That's where my husband's grandmother lives.

She's pretty close to Chapala, enough to drive there and back in a day. I lived in Guadalajara for 3 years in my youth.

Born on Long Island, grew up in Pikeville (near Goldsboro for our other NC residents) NC, and currently living in Cary, North Carolina.

I was born in the Bible Belt, and have lived most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm currently hoping to move to Santa Cruz, CA in the near future.

Well, I guess on a US board it's not too weird that we got a bunch from Texas, Cali, and the New York metro area. Top 3 population centers, 30%-ish of the total population.

HA! I believe her. The fish from that lake are mutant, I tell you.
We've got heavy food down here, her mom must be used to it by now.

Some of those areas are really nice though, I would assume you husband's grandma lives in Ajijic since that's the biggest concentration of elderly Americans and Canadians around the lake, and it's a beautiful place, my best friend has a really cool house there, we go whenever we get a chance, it's very relaxing.

:laugh:

I'm really not sure. She's not American or Canadian though. She's Mexican.

La Purisima, maybe? I have her mailing address, but there are more parts to it than I'm used to looking at.

In Finland, I am from Turku, "where civilization first appeared in Finland - and from where it never left", as the saying goes Originally, I'm from a small town in the Satakunta province, some 50 miles away. Left there when I got into the university. With any luck, I might be returning to that neighbourhood: there's an opening for an English teacher at the high school a town or two over. Wish me luck, I've got the interview on Wednesday.

Good luck NR

My Aunt is in that commercial for a second!

Here's the full one where she's featured as a 'tourist'. She's the lady in the passenger seat of the car.

Question, where on the creepy spectrum does "Your aunt is pretty hot" fall on?

@Calleja: Not too far over into creepy, actually.

*deep breath* Born in Southern California (Lancaster), moved to England when I was three (Cambridgshire). Moved to NORTHERN California at 11 (Nevada City and Grass Valley), moved to France when 16 (Martigues, near Marseilles), moved to Sicily at 18 (Aci Catena, near Catania), to Nevada at 19 (Reno/Sparks), Alabama shortly thereafter (Huntsville), and finally to Savannah, Georgia at 22. Living here has been the second-longest I've ever been in one place at a stretch, which has made it REAL hard to put down roots anywhere *chuckles*

Calleja: Glad you said it and not me.

Charon: Holy shit. Were your parents assembling the Da Vinci code or something?

Oh man, the da vinci code.. classic.
