Washiongton state.
Near Mt.Rainer [ish]
(no exact place lol)
In the surounding areas where i live, if Mt.Rainier ever blew there would be a lahar. It would fill the valley with aproamitly 30 feet of boiling hot mud and everyone would die.
My school practices lahar drills every year && there is a hill we have to walk to because we have to 'get to higher ground'.
pretty much everyone here is white or mexican,or african americans.
mostly white or mexican though.
There are several small lakes, the biggest being Lake tapps.
Everyone goes swimmming there.
If you drove for about 4-6 hours you could reach the ocean,a destert, a rainforrest, a mounain chain [[depending on which direction you drive]]
the climate is mostly cloudy/ rainy but it usually depends on where you live because the climate is so diverse.
and that's washington for yas smile

Yo! I'm in The United States Of America, state of Minnesota (located as the northern-most state of the continuous US, connected to Canada). I live in the city of Duluth (not by choice), and I was born in St.Paul (the capital).
State Fact(s): We're called the North-star state (our slogan is "Star du nord"), our leading industries are farming/Milk (but believe me, we're not all famrers), and our state bird is the loon.Scenery pics I've taken (slideshow): [x] We're amazingly diverse culturally, but we started off as Native Americans and Germans. Many towns are named either German, French (from French-Canadian Fur traders), or Native American. We have one of the nation's highest Asian population, maninly Hmong (pronounced "mung", like "monk" but without the K sound) people. We also have a lot of Mexicans and African Americans, though it's still just barely more Caucasian than anything else. The city truly is city, yet if you drive 2 hours in any direction you'll be sure to find true country. There're faming communities and legitimate ghettos all within decent times of each other, and the weather is the definition "temperate". 85-110 degrees in the summer, 5 to -30 in winter. :3

Saweet. Anyways, me is from the Confederate United States of America, though I is down South, what's why I be talkin' like a Redneck right now.
More specifically, I live in a lovely little suburb north of Houston, Texas (yep. REAL lovely) called The Woodlands. Actually, it's a very large suburb, with about 55k people (as of the last census... it's grown a lot since then). It's pretty boring here. There're trees, but mostly butt ugly pines that drive out everything else. So... yeah.

West Yorkshire, England.
Spen Valley Area.
I've lived in the same house my entire life, so as you can imagine my accent is 100% Yorkshire. Once I went up to Nottingham and met some people and we spent half an hour laughing at each other's accent.
I find it really funny how people come out with all these "Yorkshire" words and then I'm like, "What does that mean exactly?"
Because my house is right in the valley, if mcdonalds wasn't right opposite, I can see all up the hills and it's quite a cool veiw. There's a little stretch of moterway and I'll try to find a picture of it because it's quite pretty. 4laugh also, further down in Birstall, at night, we call it Mini Vegas becuase there is a huge retail park with about 50 shops with huge lighted signs.

I am from Maryland. (With my Dad)
I live about 30 min. drive south of DC
I dislike most of the people in my area.
It is cool to be able to go to DC when ever I want and I live up the hill from a metro train station so I can get around really easy.
Most of the people in my area are Latino or African American but I am white.
I also sometimes live in Portland, Oregon.(With my mum)
This is possible the most fun city I have lived in.
There is so much music and arts that it can be mind blowing.
Portland is technically in a rain forest (?) but if you drive about 3 hours away you with get to glaciers and deserts and all the other things you can think of.
So I live in two places in America

Its the random boat in the middle of the white deserty part lol Wow. Thanks xd Yeah most of us are pretty nice. I've been in both the London and Preston temple a few times. I would really, really like to go to Salt Lake City when I'm older. I don't get why a lot of people find some of our doctrine a bit wierd but since I was born into the church it probably explains a lot.
