Just for some discussion. *Shrugs*
Discuss:
-Where are you from?
-Have you ever moved?
-Where do you currently live?
-Is there anywhere you'd like
to be from?
-Anywhere you wouldn't like
to be from?
-Do you have an accent?
-If so, do you like it? Hate it?
-Is there any cool landmarks
where you live?
Me:
-I am FROM Staten Island, NY.
-But then we moved to NJ then we moved to East Stroudsburg, PA then recently to Scranton, PA.
-So I currently live in Scranton, PA.
-I'd like to be from somewhere cool. Like London.
-I wouldn't like to be from Florida. Too hot. I hear the people there only like club music.
-Uh, I don't think I have an accent. I talk pretty normal. I say some words funny, though. But that really doesn't have anything to do with where I live. It's just because I like to change it up sometimes as lame as that sounds. razz
-I don't like my voice. It's so...plain to me. I wish I had a cool accent. But a lot of people say I talk really cute. But I don't know what they're getting at.
-Cool landmarks? Um. The Red Barrons stadium is here. And the Gertrude Hawk factory is here. I don't know what else really. Hah.
Pfft. I'm sorry. I'm just bored.

The verdict doesn't love our soul ~
- San Francisco, California, US
- Once, but I was too young to remember it. We basically only moved a few blocks over to a different house.
- I still live in San Francisco
- Anywhere in the UK. Or Seattle, because it's foggy and there's lots of coffee.
- Texas, other republican states (living in San Francisco will do that to you)
- Not really...I've been told a few times that I sound like I'm from New York. My mom was from New York, but she never had an accent, so I have no idea how I could have gotten it...I also get a bit of a Cockney accent floating around, too, but that's just my Damon fandom carrying over. sweatdrop
- I like my "accent", yes. biggrin
- Lots of 'em. The Golden Gate Bridge, the Cupid's Span sculpture, the Transamerica Pyramid, Crissy Field, and the fact that our bay is shaped like a mermaid. ><

K'so here we go...
-Germantown, Maryland!!
-yessuh, from crab-cake land to boonie-ville when I was four or so.
-Tujunga, California.
(If you're wondering what 'Tujunga' means, my mom says it's the sound of a nickle being dropped in the toilet. whee )
(...and it's pronounced tuh-HUNG-ah. No 'J' sound.)
-I'd like to be from Australia. Or Germany. Or Greece!
-Alabama or Missouri. I'd be branded as a hick!
-Not unless I've been watching something british. Then I unconciously speak with a british accent. My little brother, on the other hand, has a bit of a German accent. eek No one knows where he got it, as he's never been to Germany.
-I think it's kind of funny.
-Um... We gots a very awesome sushi place called Toriyen, that you've probably never heard of.

-Pittsburgh, PA.
-Well, I moved from the city to the suburbs when I was four. It's like PSB put it: "Suburbia- where the suburbs meet utopia." Okay, not really.
-Pittsburgh, still, I'm just in the 'burbs.
-London. Or anywhere in England.
-Texas, any of those country music places, anywhere extremely hot or cold
-Some may say. I am quite fluent in Pittsburghese. Y'know, like "yinz" and "warsh" and stuff like that.
-I like Pittsburghese. It confuses people.
-Well, there's the Carnegie museum and the Science Center and stuff, and there's the stadiums like Heinz Field (Home of the Steelers!) and stuff... Uh... There's a buncha bridges, I think they might be famous... And I really don't know much else, to tell you the truth. xd

-Born in Lowell, MA
-A couple of times, the last time being when my parents got divorced in...2001?
-The tiny town of Pelham, NH. Maybe not tiny, but definitely small and drug filled. I don't do drugs. they are bad.
-I wish I had a cool accent. I don't even have a Boston accent.
-I don't know. Iraq?
-Nope
-I don't have one.
-Not really. My town is rather boring.
Long story short: I live in a small, boring town, where most of the teens do drugs.

I think it's funny how many of us
here have that weird unconsious
British-accent. I get it sometimes, too.
One time in school it happened
my friend and I were like 'WTF,
WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!'
You guys live in interesting places.

D: I first noticed it when my friend and I watched her dad's collection of Fawlty Towers.
John Cleese is so funny. whee
But the weird thing is, she watches stuff like Monty Python and Brainiac alot more than me, and she doesn't get the accent! Not unconciously anyway.
Actually, Tujunga is quite boring. We call it the boonies, 'cause It's a bit out of the way. We're on the very edge of L.A., next to Glendale. wink

The relgious people are scary.
The lady across the street was
asking me if I was interested in
attending Youth Group. I politely
declined. And the kids next door
go to Catholic school. But they
seem like robots. I think once I
go to school and start talking
about Murdoc I'll have the church
knocking on our front door
for a soul-cleansing or something.

I'm not religous at all. Last time I was in a holy house was for a Bar Mitzvah about a month and a half ago. But If I were... I think I'd be Buddhist. Very tolerant, Buddhism. 3nodding
On another note: question
How do the local churches get people to go door-to-door? They must know it's rather... creepy. Like chain letters. When they come we politely turn them out, and promptly toss the pamphlets in the trash.
