Topic: What city or area you come from?

Hi it's me again. I'm bored so I'm asking questions again.
So where'd you grow up or whatever?

Me, I originally come from the Detroit area, closer to downtown. But we got out when I was around 12 because it's just too much motherfucking bullshit. Ever since I grew up in Rural Michigan and I love it. But I think Montana would be better.

How 'bout you?

Hell, MI.
Not really.
All I can really say is that I am from the the south.
... the deep south.

Following Hudson's statement, I'll give this: my town is great for it's wind, even in the middle of summer you will feel a refreshing breeze any day. It's in California, and it's cut away from San Fran by hills.

Can you play the guessing game?

Maryland.

Was born in Mobile, Alabama but I don’t have any memories of the place. I went back there once. It was okay. Apparently it’s where Mardi Gras was first celebrated.

Moved to Puerto Rico after Mobile. Don’t remember much, but it was nice. Except for the giant rats that ran along power lines and crawled out of toilets.

I was conceived in New York, both the state and the city, to a lesbian bartender who had one too many drinks and left with a girly-looking guy. However, I was born in Germany - my mother, wanting nothing to do with me, left me in front of a monastery, and I was raised by the monks, taught their ways - in absolute silence, mind you, for they had all taken their vows.

I had to teach myself German. There were, thankfully, a wide range of books at the monastery, and I listened avidly to visitors. At age 20, I forsook my brothers for the call of the wilderness, uttering my very first words: "Auf Wiedersehen". I made my way through forests and mountains, until I came upon the Bayan Bulak Grasslands. The journey was not straight - It took about five years, and I survived mostly on the knowledge the monks had imparted to me regarding edible plants.

There I was taken in by some poor but sincere Chinese peasants. It was, however, in the heat of the Chinese Civil War, and I still remember the frightful days when the Kuomingtang passed by our cottage, hoping they would ignore us, or at worst demand food, though we would go hungry. I was frightened of military service, frightened that perhaps I would be drafted onto the losing side. As the KMT became more desperate, this looked ever more likely.

Mama surprised me on my twenty-eighth birthday, with a gift of a horse and saddle, supplies enough for weeks, and my own "grave" dug in the western part of the farm. She told me that I was dead to them, and thus to the KMT, and that I needed to go, because she couldn't bear to see me die to the world, as another casualty of war. It was a tearful goodbye, though also confusing, as I had never learned Chinese.

I made it to Ellis Island in 1952, and though I've lived the rest of my life in America, still the Chinese Steppe calls to me, and I still would like to see the Monastery I grew up in before my life is over. And, lesbian bartender mother, if you are reading this, know that I hold no ill will towards you for what you did.

Yeah, I don't like giving out actual information about myself.

I was born in Utah County, Utah, moved to glorious North Idaho (yes, it's a very different entity from Southern Idaho) when I was five, and now I'm starting the first chapter of real adulthood back in Utah County, because it's easy here. I miss my lake though, and my forests :(

@Clawdragons: That's an outstanding yarn. You must be the oldest furry on this site :3

Damn, you actually had me going there for that whole long while. (Except when I read the about the year 1952 in there, but that could be overlooked)

I was about ready to track you down and give you a great big hug and tell you that everything will be alright and that I know that pain of forsakenness all too well. I was probably gunna take you to that monestary, bro.

Now I'm all for a good laugh and fun and games and all, but jeez. I mean, the whole time I read that my mind was in deathbed/suicidenote mode.

I gotta give you kudos, kiddo. I really do. But never again, okay?

I mean, Jesus.

I tried to throw in some clues that made it obvious it was a joke (such as having a heartfelt conversation with my Chinese mother without actually knowing Chinese). Or the being raised by monks who didn't bother to teach me to speak. Or, considering the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, if this story were true I'd be 95 years old.

I like writing silly things like this sometimes. I didn't mean for it to feel so dire. I'll take the compliment and the hug though.

ಠ_ಠ i live in the middle of nowhere with crap internet (unlimited bandwidth and not quite as bad as dial-up but still crappy in terms of speed. steam is about the only thing where the download speed sometimes peaks above the usual 180kb/s). southeast oklahom, US, or as some call it, the arklatex region. i assume that's because it's the region where oklahoma, texas, and arkansa all connect in one little area.

It would be a hell of a life story, but no. For one, I'm in my 20s, not 90s. I'll take this as a compliment all the same though.
