Most of the US west of the Mississippi was mapped out according to latitude and longitude lines, so that's why they're all squarish. Idaho/Montana has a wiggly border but that's because there's a mountain range there. It's interesting to fly over the middle states because it was parceled out to homesteaders in squares, too. Like flying over a patchwork quilt. :)
In a county called Derbyshire :) The district of the city I live in is called California
Heh, fair enough, Ozone. I'm from the United States! As a bit of trivia, I read that when Americans go overseas, and someone asks where they're from, they say "from America" or "from the US" or something. Unless they're from Texas. Then the majority forego the country completely and just say "Texas." ^.^
i don't do that . every time i have to give a speech or address a large crowd of people i just say the name of the city i came from, and it's not a large city either , let em google it if they really care that much
I was born in Germany (Wiesbaden, specifically) but I consider myself a New York native; I grew up in New York, so I talk an act more like a New Yorker than a German. I still claim a German nationality though; so I'm… more like a German Yank or something :D
The mysterious, misty Mountains of Kentucky. We eat Bambi's and all sorts of 4 legged critters. The Hills DEFINATELY have eyes…….little beedy ones. (But surprisingly, Denny's is a popular hotspot with the hill folk….Never woulda' guessed they knew how to use them "forks and fancy folded napkins"….)
WHAR IN–I mean, WHERE in Kentucky, ttyler? I live in Vine Grove, near Fort Knox, Kentucky.

I'm from Puerto Rico, but we moved to the US. I lived in PR for eleven years and never even knew racism existed until we moved to the States. We got scared into the corner (Florida) and we've lived there ever since. :)
Uhhh…sadly, the United States is VERY racist. I'm just glad more enlightened and higher evolved beings like ourselves are able to meet and greet on the internet.
I feel so alone in the waste lands of Las Vegas Nevada….. I grew up in the San Fernando valley of Southern California, and hung out in Burbank land of cartoons. California people sure are thier own breed.
Am I the only one who lives in a 3rd world country here? lol
I'm from the Philippines (yes, the one with Al-Queda wannabee terrorists and corrupted government, yes). -w-)/
My country sucks. I'm not being a 'really' pessimistic person here but it just does. -A-)v
Everyday I'd see these kinds of things…. People doing cons and scams each day. Seeing beggars and children being wasted away by the harsh cruel world. Ah~ the drama.
But it's okay. Even if my country (and government *cough*) seriously SUCKS, the people always manages to smile. Which is weird because of the reasons I wrote above. Maybe we're just a very tenacious race who's already used in going through hardships and obstacles in life.
hmm…
I guess I still love my shitty country after all. v(owO)v
domonick is from colorado? O.O wow, and here i thought hes lived in Maryland his whole life!
I take a strange solace knowing I'm the only Coloradian here. I guess I could still be a Californian…but seeing as I'm not there anymore, maybe I'm more of a Caliroadian…ick
He hasn't shown up in this forum yet but I think D0m, the creator of Nadya is from Colorado. I'm sure of it in fact.
Me? I was born on the moon. Ahh! Such a wonderful place… I wish I could go back there sometimes… Anyways, at the age of seven my family moved to a small space underneath ozone's house. I then gradually evolved into a human. When I had finnished with my evolution stage, I then moved to Sydney where i settled into the cellar of an abandoned pub. I'm currently attending a High school somewhere in the Strathfield area, and I am hoping to get through it as quickly as possible so that I can revisit the moon.
