As for me, born in Brooklyn, New York; in the U.S.
Born in Moscow, RRrrrrussia. Beevher: I no ver you liv.
hell yah i was born in France. French is my first language to. :D
Brooklyn is pretty cool to, its no Paris though /jk
Holy Crap mes Tarrant, u russian! Lol i had no idea.
Haha I had no idea you were French! :D I took like a bazillion years of French in school, and it's mostly gone down the drain. :P
Are you familiar with old French movies with people like Louis de Funes?
Ahhh lucky you. :D Gah I wish I was fluent in French. :/Quote:

Russian isn't all that hard, really. Now Chinese on the other hand... :shock: (I'm learning that now.)
Oh and New York rules as well, whooo Xoxie!! BTW, where are you from ethnically?
I wus barn in good ole' Missippi...-goes out to the porch of my house and sits in rocking chair...rocks back and forth slowly while adjusting overalls-
I was born in Lowell, Massachusetts in the US. Nothing special about it. Just lots of drugs and crime and 14 year old girls getting pregnant by 40 year old guys who are now in prison for stabbing their other baby momma's momma for looking at him the wrong way. Maybe that's a slight exaggeration. But then again, maybe it's not too far off... :cheeky:
Ahh you won't. :P I've lived in NYC all my life and haven't. :PQuote:

Sweet tea and fried okra for the win! :mwahaha:
LaGrange? That is awsome! I didn't know there was a place with that name outside of Texas. I've gotta play that song now.
I was born in Utah and have lived here my whole life. I want to live here for the rest of my life. That's not to say I don't want to travel.
Mmmm, fried okra!
Yup. Georgia also has a town called Texas, if I'm not mistaken. Or maybe that's only Alabama.Quote:

But the scenery here really is extremely beautiful, so I think I am staying.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada > Lyon France
You know, after all this talk I would really like to visit the south, it seems like it would be a completely different atmosphere down there that I would really enjoy.
Dude i live in Vancouver!!! What part are you from?Quote:

My town is good except for the pikeys and chavs. Yeah it's one of the most alcoholic parts in England as well as has the highest teen pregnancy rating in the whole of Europe :roll:
However It's not as bad as it sounds, it does have some good sides to it like a river running through the centre. Loads of places to shop and eat a couple of night clubs, pool halls, sports halls.
I have a castle less then 10 mins from house ect.

Cozy little town, no trouble. :)
I was born in Erie, PA, a dying port city where people live in houses that are crumbling into the earth amid turf wars among black gangs and a dwindling number of white bikers.
I grew up in and around a little town south of there, a former mineral springs spa given over to tool and die and odd-jobbing (roofing, siding, scrap hauling, hunting, small engine repair, etc.). It's a pretty weird town--people are stoical and even caustic, but they'll give you the shirt off their back if you need it.
At heart im more Belgian then French, Im a citizen of a few countries in Europe...Quote:

I was developed in a remote experimental biotechnology laboratory who's location I cannot disclose.
Bay City, Texas. U.S. of course .<[*'D
As for French, I have a deep hatred of the French language...for one reason and one reason only. They have people devoted to creating new words for the new things that come out. That is just annoying... when the new blah blah blah comes out it would be nice if everyone on the planet just used a single word for the new item...but no you frenchies just can't allow that! =P you sucks.
I don't really dislike french people though...or France...I just hate the language! Grr.
Anyways...I speak 1 and a half languages...English and half assed spanish...
Does Texas really have gigantic spiders? I was told that they have banana spiders. And I was also told that they didn't. Both by people who have lived there. If they do, then I'm definitely crossing Texas off of my list of places to travel to... :eek:
Er, well I don't live in Vancouver anymore, more like half an hour away (an hour if you count all this goddamn snow). Port Moody my friend. ;)Quote:

I went to U of Waterloo, so during those 5 years, it was back and forth. I took a job offer in Seattle shortly after that, but not before spending one more summer. I go back home every now and then. Gotta show up for JFL.Quote:

I think the beach in Sandestin is literally the best in the world.Quote:

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
she said "You're moving with you uncle and auntie in Bel-Air"
I love Sandestin. Wish I could go spend another month down there on the beach. Those little towns about an hour north of Orlando are pretty nifty, too. Nice small communities there.
Are there really THAT many spiders in Florida?? :eek:
Ew.
Paquanok, NJ. Haven't been back there in 20 years.
... it's peanut butter jelly time! :banana:
I was born in Danbury, Connecticut, but only lived there for like 2 months. My parents are born and raised southerners, and I lived in the South for 19 years 10 months out of my 20 year life.
You know Danbury? Its the place in the movie Blow where George Jung (Johnny Depp) went to prison after being caught with Marijuana.
Whoa! I just listened and paid attention, and it DOES say "outside of the school"... For all these years, I thought he said "I thought I was cool" :lol:Quote:

Destin and Panama City are a completely different story, but I think major civilization by beaches is a good thing.Quote:

The real problem is global cooling. The development is going to be too far away from the ocean when the glaciers get bigger, and that is going to piss off the business owners. I know that global cooling worry is so 1970's, but it is going to be back in style again. I'm on the cutting edge.Quote:

You are right.
Many people ridicule the idea of a new (mini?) ice age because they don't know this.
