The Evergreen State...the Other Washington as we call our little piece of heaven. Across the great lake known as Lake Washington to the east of Seattle in a 'burb known as Kirkland, not far from the mighty Windows God, but strolling in a far more modest neighborhood.

If you ever come up here to visit me, I can welcome you to Hoth, Michigan

Hoth, Michigan? I've never heard of that...does it snow all the time up there?

It is a small world...I suppose I just never considered the fact that someone else could be from near here.

And, yes, there is great tax-free shopping! happy

I am originally from the middle of nowhere, but then I started moving all over the place and currently I am happy to call myself a resident of...

The 4th Largest City in the US
The Armpit of the South
Murdertown USA (according to Time Magazine in 1958)

Houston, I've got problems...



Fortunately, I'm not the only obnoxious Texan around here.

Wow, lotta midwesterners on here.

I've always said that people from the middle of nowhere make the best marching band members, ficcers, and fanatics.

In that order.

Anyway, I'm from San Jose, California, but live a hop, skip and a big hill away in Santa Cruz. San Jose, for being a city of 1 million people and the base of Silicon Valley, is very boring.

Santa Cruz has lots of hippies, drugs, freshmen with no fashion sense, and grown men in pink dresses carrying pink umbrellas and moving about an inch an hour.


Yeah.

lets see, I've done marching band, I am a ficcer, and ummm...

I'm fanatic about whatever my mind is on at the moment. Does that count?

Anyway, I'm currently residing in good ole G-ville of Florida, Home of the Gators.

And I have to work on Saturday instead of going to the World's biggest Cocktail party. Otherwise known as UF vs Georgia. For some unknown reason, they always play in Jacksonville.

As for other places I've lived - Santa Barbara, CA; Asheville, NC, and Springfield VA. Springfield is actually a code name for 'Suburb of Washington DC.'

It's known better as Lake Linden, Michigan, but 'Hoth' or (as I prefer) 'Icy Hell' works just fine.

By the Force! That's where I was born, and most of my mom's side of the family! We were all born there at...oh geez, what was it called? Salisbury General, maybe...I dunno. =) Been too long! I can't say I really miss the place (I haven't been there in ages) but I would like to go back and visit sometime. Maybe go to Ocean City up there, that was nice.

Oh yes, the D-Dubya Highway, the Pheasant Lane Mall. It doesn't get any better than that.

If there's a center to the galaxy, I'm as far from it as possible. If you ever come up here to visit me, I can welcome you to Hoth, Michigan (about ten miles from Houghton) located in the Upper Peninsula. Bring a shovel to help with the three hundred inches (no joke) of snow we'll get this winter.




OMG!! I thought I was the only one rotting in the UP! I am in Marquette at NMU! I mean widow_skywalker is at NMU! That is fricking awesome!


Sweet magnificant crap! You're only a hundred miles from me. Small world after all. Where are you from originally? I bet it was a bit of an adjustment to come up to NMU. happy

You seem very familiar with the area. raised_brow Spend a lot of time here?

The problem with tax-free shopping and no income tax is that property taxes have to make up for it. angry It's gotta come from somewhere, I suppose...

Seriously? That's pretty cool. I didn't even know that any other fanfic writers came from/lived here besides me and my best friend. ^_^
