What place or location did you never expect to find yourself in? |
|
Me? A gay bathhouse. Growing up gay in Decatur, Illinois, I never dreamed such places existed. And when I moved to Dallas...boy, did I find out that they were there. :-)

1. Living in Pittsburgh, PA environs |
|
Thought I'd live out my life and die in Kansas. It's been a good experience, though. Now I'm moving to Texas (another place I thought I'd never find myself) in May to begin the next chapter of my life.

2. Living in Boise-freakin-Idaho. |
|
If you had told me five years ago that I would later that year be moving to Boise, I'd have said you were nuts. If you had told me that I would be here as long as I have been, I'd have laughed myself silly.
But here I am.

16. It is a cool place to visit |
|
Living here is definitely another story. Racism, drug problems, cost of living is through the roof, stuck on a rock out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean 6000 miles away from your family and friends. Plus the area I live in is being over run by conservative Bushies from Alaska. They are the most hypocritical lot of right wingers I have ever met.

And I've been here 14 years now, longer than any other place I've lived.
Once our youngest graduates high school in May, and I finish my paralegal degree in December, I hope to be out of here.

5. King Khalid Military City. |

A tent city a half-hour flight north of Riyadh. Home base for the 3rd Army's Strategic Replacement Reserve for Gulf War I.
Also, "Connection". A gay bar/club in Louisville, KY. Fantastic place even if you are straight.

North Dakota has nice winters. Except for sometimes when the temperature drops to -30° or it snows 96 inches in season or when when it blizzards for 3 days at the end of March and leaves 3 feet of snow. You gotta remember stuff like this doesn't happen all the time. Other than that North Dakota has nice weather. No hurricanes, earthquakes, mud slides, tsunamis, volcanoes and other bad stuff that plague the rest of the world.

8. I don't know at this point. |
|
I've never been anywhere or done anything particularly interesting at all. I doubt I probably ever will, so who knows?
Not very exciting, but hey, that's me. :shrug:

the armpit of the Valley of the Dumb.
I want to move back to Seattle or Chicago. I grew up in Seattle then lived 15 years in Chicagoland. Snow or rain, either place is better than this.

in the pubic library. They had remodeled and had changed the bathrooms around for some strange reason. I didn't look and just entered. I saw the urinals and thought, oh how nice they did that so Mom's could take there little boys there without worry. In a few minutes and boy about 8 or 9 walked in as I was washing up and looked.....GOT.... he never said a word and I walked out only to look right at the door of the ladies room acrossed the hall......GADS!!! I got a got laugh out of it after the shock wore off. lol

When my parents told us they were selling the house and moving from Chciago to Northern Wisconsin, I said adios, have a nice time, B'Bye.
There was no way in hell I would move to Wisconsin. Ever.
Then about 5 years later, here I am, in Milwaukee.
Followed a girl. Go figure.
