L.A., but my parents kept buying and selling houses, so I've lived all over Southern California. My favorite place was our house in a rural area of Orange County. Then they ripped me from that place and we moved to a place in North San Diego county. That is where I attended highschool, my "coming of age" years. Then they moved again and I ran away and... <click>

Where am I from? Good question. Officialy, i was born in Siberia, Russia but my mother's profession had the two of us thrown to Moscow, and then to boston, masachussetts and then to Vienna, Austria which is where I am right now.
Do I like it? As to Russia, I die of nostagy when away and can't wait to get out when there. Vienna is different. I like the cleanness and orderliness of the town. i like the cafés and the clubs and the parks...and most of all i like that this is the first place I've lived in for longer than 3 years and therefore have managed to really know the town.

St. John;s, Newfoundland, Canada. Most of the time i enjoy it, and winters normally arent too bad, but for some reason we had a rediculous amount of snow/drifts around my house, so theres like a 10foot high wall of ice/snow at the end of my driveway, and the car is half buried...

Just out of curiosity, what lures you to Malaysia?
I'll probably be back there in the summer myself, actually (though it'll be winter down here in the Southern hemisphere). I could be your tour guide, haha.

Norcal: land of the preppy-emos
if you ever encounter marin, turn and run. You know that sign half-way across the golden gate bridge that says "now entering Marin County?" When you see it, pull a U-turn.

Awwww I love taking day hikes in Marin County! But I probably love it BECAUSE I don't live there and only ever spend a day up there at a time.
I've never encountered these preppy emos you speak of, but that could be because I just moved there. I'm originally from Socal.
(and yes- I do have a socal sticker on my car)

I'm from about 15 minutes from Haunted House's...house. PA...but instead of living in a neighborhood or anything, I live on a farm. It's pretty nice and we have sheep and whatnot. I really like my house and where I live, but I hate the area. It's just...boring.

I live in south west Sydney in a tiny little suburb the hardly anyone knows about (Bow Bowing.) I like it here, sure it's an absolute bitch to get into the city and the area has a bit of a dodgy reputation, but it's not that bad really.

Yes, Silverado. Just out of curiosity, when did you live there? I lived there in the 80's.
What's your work in Japan?

Honestly, I can't remember. I was going into the fifth grade when we moved in, and I am 28 now, so you can do the math if (unlike me) you can remember how old people are in the fifth grade. After high school I went to school up in the Bay area, then came back down after getting my B.A. and lived in the Canyon again while getting my J.D., and after that I left and came here.

I'm from a terrible suburban city in SoCal. All I really want is a little more nature, and some more weather (we barely get two separate seasons, I'd like to be able to notice all four. Especially rain, it never rains here. And, well, the politics in this city are a disaster. I'd run for mayor in a few years to fix things, if it wasn't rigged. I guess you could say I hate the actual city, but I do love my friends who live here.

Good goth... I thought I was the only one from this godforsaken country! What town are you from?

Corona California. Nice place. I like it. The Showcase Theatre is just 3 miles from my house, so I get to enjoy live music every weekend.
Miss Clay: I keep thinking you live in Santa Clarita for some reason. Am I close?

I'm from a small city called San Fernando, in Andalucia (Spain). Heat, sun, inexistent scene, lots of narrow-minded people. I hate it with all my soul... luckily I'll soon be moving to a larger city (Granada, if you want to know)
