What do you see yourself as? - Page 3

shattuck · 07-19-2007, 06:46 AM

Voted American - state. I live in Virginia and love it, It's got pretty much everything. Beaches in the southeast, trendy city type areas in northern VA (specifically Arlington which i love to death). My drive down to college consists of driving in the valley between two gorgeous groups of mountains near the West VA border.

Theres some places that utterly suck, like Richmond. It's the stereotypical gang-banging city, but there are some nice suburbs around it. I think Virginia has a great selection of colleges as well. The only other place I'd consider living is California, mainly due to the weather. The problem with Virginia is it goes straight from winter to summer, summer to winter, etc. We don't seem to have much of a spring or fall.

Of course I also consider myself to be an American, and am proud to live in the country I live in. I don't think I could live in any other country really, I've come so accustomed to the lifestyle and attitude of living here that I would be homesick anywhere else.

I'm an American, when it comes to anything outside this country, thats how I identify myself. But in my daily life, I'm from Jersey and rest of you can go fuck yourself.

Which is funny cause I agreed with this up until my 16th birthday. I always liked St. Louis but once I could drive and actually pay attention to where I was going, it's a fucking shitty city. FFS you can see buildings with giant fucking holes in them the entire way on 70. These aren't buildings that are getting torn down or even rebuilt. These are fucking houses with car sized holes in them. We need to just set fire to down-town and start over again.

Voted American-State cause the AB brewery is here and casually going to the store and picking up beer that was brewed a week ago is awesome.

Picked Other - City.

But only because I don't really identify with my state.

Because I live in MIssissippi, people assume we don't wear shoes, etc. Its in fact true, of North MS. However, where I live(Biloxi) is completely different.
Casino's, Air Force Base, Huge Port, all those things lead to the GUlf Coast being so different from the rest of Mississippi, its just hard to identify myself with the state.

BUt yeah, there really should be a region choice. I would say im more "From the Gulf Coast" than from Biloxi(Even though i am lawlz)

Busan · 07-22-2007, 02:18 PM

I see myself associated with my city I guess. I find my fellow countrymen weird.
I feel more related to a small city and the people and places in it than what's beknownst to be my country.

Plus my city won the national soccer league last year, which is kind of cool.

Really? the apts over there didn't look damaged from what I saw aside from cosmetic.

Ya, the military had a hand in us losing all our shit and causing us not to get any money what-so-ever for it. /bitterface Wife and I are in Italy now.

~XtitanX~ · 07-23-2007, 12:37 AM

Granted, its so much more awesome now..

Hardrock finally got finished, lotta concerts lately, oh ya, and the only strip club here actually hired decent looking women.
