I'm in a dirty yellow velour armchair in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, smoking a cigarette and trying my hardest to find fault in a story I have to critique for a fiction workshop this afternoon. It's a truly fantastic story.

I'm from where the west begins.

Right now I'm where the east peters out, sitting behind my desk trying to keep a bunch of 7th graders quiet while we wait for the bell.

OOOh...i see, I've been there though. My mom was born there. And it's home of skyline chili which is the most fabulous in the world

― Kirsty P. (Kirsty P.), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

It is weird seeing "Kirsty" typed out. It keeps making me think my mom has somehow stumbled across ILE and is addressing me.

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm in Prague, at my desk, getting ready to leave actually..

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't warm up to Skyline chili, although I've only had it canned. It's just ... something throws me, the clove or the allspice. And it's weirdly soupy. But Cincinnati's an amazing food town otherwise -- and the aquarium has the ice cream of the future, for heaven's sake.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:07 (twenty-one years ago)

You mean Dippin' Dots, Tep?

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Our mall has one of those. I went the other day and got mine in a detroit tigers hat..ya know the plastic kind. i was REALLY excited :)

― Kirsty P. (Kirsty P.), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't really like Dippin' Dots. They are way too cold and hurt my tongue.

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm in my office in Knoxville. It's across from a park.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh and since I love giving props to specific 'hoods I should say I'm in the OC in Dallas at the moment.

(OC being Oak Cliff whose residents could no doubt kick the asses of anyone from the other OC. Sorry Ned.)

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Dippin Dots, exactly. The first time I had them was at the Save Our Lake festival in New Orleans, and from the other side of the carnival I saw this banner that said "THE ICE CREAM OF THE FUTURE," so I was all, fuck, rocketpack ice cream, damnright, and then realized it wasn't. But I've always called it that as a result.

The multicolored one -- I forget the name, maybe just Rainbow -- tastes and smells just like Froot Loops. They're cold as hell, but if you eat them semi-quickly outside when it's a hundred and one and the walls are sweating, you feel like one of those cartoons that's just been encased in ice by Iceman. In a good way.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Kirsten..I'm curious on how to say your name Keerstin or kerstin?

p.s. mine's keersty

― Kirsty P. (Kirsty P.), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

http://www.dippindots.com.mx/site/imagenes/productos.jpg

These do look pretty fun, and if they taste and smell like Froot Loops, I would probably like them. I think I've only had the chocolate ones, and they made my tongue sting.

Oh, and it's Keersten, Keersty.

― kirsten (kirsten), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I had the dippin' dots at NASA. They were alright. don't remember tongue pain though.

They come in Oreo flavor! Goddamn, I haven't seen that.

The peanut butter cup is all right, the flavor just isn't strong enough. Strawberry cheesecake's probably my favorite.

Hi Robbie! I used to work in that building, but now I'm in room 15 of the David Stow (through the link corridor, walk round a bit). If you spot Winchester Club posters, I put them there.

Robbie, my parents went to Colonsay a couple of months ago. Nice sunsets. (I'm sure that's just the kind of hard facts you're researching, right?)

I am reeling from the news that 'kirsten' is actually 'keersten'! But in my head she'll always be kurt :/

Oh, and I am at my desk, having a terrible day, in Falmer, Brighton, UK.

I'm currently in a residential neighborhood a little less than a mile away from about eighteen hospitals and clinics as well as numerous other medical-related buildings. I'm originally from another residential neighborhood about nine miles southeast of and another universe altogether from where I'm located at this present moment. The place I'm located at is the ninth most populous city in the United States, which could or could not mean anything to you.

Welcome. :)

I'm currently at a desk in a large, windowless brick cavern that used to be a Najee suitmaking factory but now houses the telco/ISP I work at. The lack of windows messes with my head. Said brick building is located in a grotty area of inner-suburban Melbourne, Australia. It is raining out.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 7 May 2004 00:48 (twenty-one years ago)

there are more people in Milwaukee than there are in Minneapolis

yes, but the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area is nearly twice the size of the Milwaukee metro area. and the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield and Toledo metro areas are together more than 2.5 times the size of the Twin Cities.

also, Wisconsin has a really large state higher education system (larger than Ohio or Minnesota) - maybe people stay there because they're less likely to go away for school.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 7 May 2004 00:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, but area shouldn't matter. Population should. I don't know why this is so weird to me. I am a bit drunk. It's just weird.

― kirsten (kirsten), Friday, 7 May 2004 01:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I am in front of my bf's ailing computer in a rather uncomfortable rolley chair ina room with a Britn3y Sp3ars poster on the wall in South Knoxville drawing crap ms paint pictures of crap bands and listening to blue lines.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Friday, 7 May 2004 01:29 (twenty-one years ago)

"Okay, but area shouldn't matter. Population should."

wow

― Debito (Debito), Friday, 7 May 2004 01:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow what? I'm just saying that in terms of this particular thing I'm talking about (the number of people I've happened to encounter online from specific parts of the country), area shouldn't (logically) play as large a role as population should. It makes sense to me. Pff.

― kirsten (kirsten), Friday, 7 May 2004 01:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I think he meant that the population of the metro area is nearly twice the size.

― Debito (Debito), Friday, 7 May 2004 01:52 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, that's of course exactly what i meant, though i did manage to leave the word "population" out

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 7 May 2004 01:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, even though they're not quite as close, you could compare Milwaukee and Madison to Minneapolis and St. Paul, and because I am very bored right now, I just did searches for populations and Milwaukee and Madison together have about 1,040,084 while Minneapolis and St. Paul have about 669,769. Of course, all these numbers might not be completely up-to-date.
I am very bored. Sorry.

― kirsten (kirsten), Friday, 7 May 2004 02:02 (twenty-one years ago)

And the Milwaukee metro area has almost 600,000 on its own.
Again, sorry. I realize this is lame and pointless.

― kirsten (kirsten), Friday, 7 May 2004 02:03 (twenty-one years ago)

rough Metropolitan Area populations from the 2000 Census:

Minneapolis-St. Paul - 3 million (includes some Wisconsin population actually)
Cleveland - 3 million
Cincinnati - 2 million
Milwaukee-Racine - 1.7 million
Columbus - 1.5 million
Dayton-Springfield - 950,000
Toledo - 620,000
Youngstown - 600,000
Madison - 425,000
Appleton-Oshkosh-Neenah - 360,000
Duluth-Superior - 245,000
Green Bay - 225,000

Your figures are for the city populations only. A "city" is an arbitrary political designation that can incorporate as much or as little of a roughly contiguous area of population density (i.e. it can include as much or as little of the suburbs as the local governments seek to include), that is more closely described by its U.S. Bureau of the Census-defined Metropolitan Statistical Area. For instance, five times as many people live in the Boston metropolitan area as in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan area, but the population of the "city" of Jacksonville (which includes the surrounding suburbs) is larger than that of the "city" of Boston.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 7 May 2004 02:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, I was talking about the actual cities, not suburbs, which I guess didn't really make sense in the first place. Anyway. Sorry for killing the thread.

― kirsten (kirsten), Friday, 7 May 2004 02:37 (twenty-one years ago)

or, the Twin Cities are roughly the size of San Diego or St. Louis, while Milwaukee is roughly the size of Orlando or Sacramento

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 7 May 2004 02:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, it is clear now that we were thinking in different ways. Or talking about different things. Or something.
