Where are You From?

Post by bahua »

I ended a sentence with a preposition. Nuts!

Where were you born?

Where did you grow up?

If you're a gypsy, please say so, along with your father's rank.

I'll start. Born and raised in Peoria, IL.

Pre-birth: Everywhere. Molecules, scattered all over the earth, eventually converged at one point. If I believed in reincarnation, I'd probably come up with the usual b.s. and say I was someone famous.

Birth: Research Medical Center, KCMO.

0 to 4: Glandview.

4 to now: Gladstone.... haven't managed to escape yet.

Future: Ideally somewhere in or near the Colorado Plateau (UT, AZ). In actuality, who knows? Staying in KC would be fine.
