That's awesome. I've always wanted to visit scotland, being scott-irish myself, i hear it's nice there.  (i had a friend who went over there to go to college, she said it was incredibly awesome)

My last name (Ballantyne) is very Scottish. Because of that, I have a poster of this comic (http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/090215.html) hanging on my wall. ;D

Yeah Scotland is nice,  but the weather leaves something to be desired.

 Gaithersburg, MD. One of the best places to live imo: the weather is temperate enough that its pleasant all year round, but you still get enough change of seasons that there is always variety. Also, its so close to...well, everything. D.C., beaches, mountains, you name it.

I figured Shaggy lived near me because we have the same time zones. Hearing you lived here is new. I lived here for 6-8 years.

Idaho Falls, ID, about an hour further up I-15 than miyabi. And the sad part is I still couldn't make it to the HoA Release Party because I had so much going on here.

You live that close and we've never partied together Andrew?  We need to fix that.

Well. If you go further north on I-15 and go east on I-90, you'll hit Bozeman, Montana, where I am 75% of the year. But today, I checked out of the dorms and I completed the twelve hour drive back to Portland, Oregon. So that's where I will be through August.

Oh, where are you going to college?
Title: Re: Where in the world are you???
Post by: Renoard on May 11, 2009, 02:28:12 AM
Kaz there is something to be said for living on or near the campus.  It's important for a young man to stretch his wings and make some mistakes.  We teach accountability begins as soon as you are able to understand what it means, and that can be as young as 9.  You've got some catching up to do. ;)

I would have loathed staying at home for college... I needed to get away.
Title: Re: Where in the world are you???
Post by: Patriotic Kaz on May 11, 2009, 04:03:13 PM
I'm cheap and i have to pay for a dorm or apartment...so as long as i behave i get to stay at home... not to mention that UTD is only a 20 min drive from my house


P.S. @ reonard i will take your comments as a joke which it was probably intended

Mid-coastal region of North Carolina.  About an hours drive away from Raleigh (or the beach for that matter... though I don't go as often as I really should, living so close).  Two-hundred feet away from a river.  On a pseudo-island... I could go on and on. ;)

well, it's kinda like smurf village, if you don't know the way there through the wheat and corn, you'll never find it. Incedentally, Gargamel has been trying to find us recentley, too.

Can you help me out with the smurf reference, pretty please?
Title: Re: Where in the world are you???
Post by: Renoard on May 15, 2009, 06:52:18 AM
Gargamel or Giramael?  No matter.  Same thing in the end.

I went to school in Missouri and discovered it is in fact Misery.  Where else would they have to name a town Normal, Peculiar or Humansville just to remind the residents?

Smurf village could only be found if you know the way. Gargamel was the bad guy who was always trying to find it but couldn't. It was a cartoon show for kids (and a comic book) around the late 70's to early 80's or so.

Oh yeah? where'd you study at? The only places that i know of that anyone pays any serious attention to would be St. Louis University, and Mizzou (university of missouri). And yes, it is boring here.

There are a other places that get attention.  Let's see. . .
