Hey you, where do you live?

<< < (3/31) > >>

Something Witty:
I live in a nice house in a quiet neighborhood. The rent is a little high but I like it. I've only lived here a couple of months, but I'm starting to settle in. Doesn't quite register as "home" yet and I'm not sure why.

Mynah:
I live on campus at what is probably the easiest school to get into in the whole state, if not New England as a whole.  It's pretty here, though.  We have a pond, and it's up in the mountains, so the views are really nice.  It's also in the middle of nowhere, so it's generally pretty safe to just... get up at 3am and take a walk around campus and not really worry about anything happening, and you get a lot of chances to see wildlife at night, and there aren't that many people, so it's not crowded at all.  I love it, really.

Also, I have the best suitemates on the planet, so that's pretty rad.

Cartilage Head:
I'm from Florida.

Zingoleb:
I'm from Albion, NY. Aside from the people who live here, the place is a tiny, strangely cultured town. Like - I live across the street from an opera house which is a coffee-shop downstairs run by an opera singer, there's always string quartets or classical guitars that have literally toured the world coming to town (I met Pavarotti's guitarist, he's a great guy and I'm pretty good friends with his sister!), and there's two art galleries. The architecture is really beautiful, just a bunch of old buildings. It has incredible potential to be such an awesome little town on the Erie Canal, like it could be a great college town, except there's a far better college town ten miles away that gets most of the good people and businesses and this place gets the leftovers, it feels like. That's downtown anyways.

The rest of the place is just really, really country. Literally, miles of cornfield and/or soyfields, apple orchards, grapes, forest, creeks and hills...it's actually a really beautiful place (except for the minor detail that there's a LOT of swampland and thus a LOT of mosquitoes) and I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be in summer than where my father's house is. He owns this 200-year-old farmhouse that needs repairs and he's too broke/inept to fix it up. It has like...six bedrooms, a living room and bathroom upstairs, and three bedrooms, two kitchens, two living rooms, a bathroom, a pantry/converted into laundry-room and a sun room which is mostly windows downstairs. I can't wait to fix it up someday proper, because it's such a gorgeous house and I don't want to see it fall apart.

Radical AC:
River Phoenix came here looking for his mother, but got rolled and kidnapped in this one arthouse film I saw.  It's kind of in the middle of a desert between nowhere and one of the greatest cultural meccas on earth.
