it's not where you come from, it's where you're at. Or something.

how far away are you now from where you grew up? do people regard you suspiciously and then ask 'why are you here?' What's so good about living in the same place all your life? Am I rambling? ('fraid so-ed.)

I live an hour south of where I grew up. I need to leave this place soon.

― Kingfish Disraeli (Kingfish), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I live 2.5 hours south. I win!

I live halfway across the country from where I grew up. I sometimes miss home, but not that often.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm about 3 miles from where I was born, 1 mile from my 1st childhood home, and 3 miles from my main childhood home.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I live an hour north of where I grew up, and half the world away from where I was born.

I also live halfway across the country from where I was born. But I hold no warm feelings for Florida at all. It is a shithole.

― NA (Nick A.), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

2 continents away and everyone still knows your name. Mind you, travelling/moving countries seems to be all the rage amongst my real-life buds, and I'm getting something out of it, so for now, it's good.

London>Accra tho'.

― Barima (Barima), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I was born in Africa, but now live in London less than half a mile from where both of my parents grew up....homing instincts run strong.

― holojames (holojames), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I live about 300 miles away from where I grew up, but I've started thinking of Glasgow as home too. I don't miss the Midlands really at all, but I get nostalgic about England sometimes. It's very easy to go back if I really want to though, which is a comfort.

I live in the next city over from where I grew up, and just down the street from where I was born. I see nothing embarssing about or wrong with this.

Born + first 5 years in southern California, then 2 years in Mississippi, then 5 years back in CA, then 23 years in MS, then 4 years in CA, then the last 2+ years in MS. Hmm, that's pretty fucked up if I do say so myself.

― Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I had no choice as to my place of birth, but I wanted to live in a less densely populated area and moved to Vermont. (About 160 miles away) They'll have to drag me outta here.

― jim wentworth (wench), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 02:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I currently live about 20kms from where I grew up.

― Andrew (enneff), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 04:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I've lived up to approx. 2,400 miles away from where I started out in life, but right now the place I call home is a mere 9 miles away. It doesn't seem like a lot on paper but my present-day neighborhood is the type of neighborhood I used to gasp at in awe when I was maybe five or six.

― Those Beautiful Lines (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 06:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Currently about 2 miles from where I was born and 8 miles from where I grew up. The furthest I've lived from home is about 500 miles.

― robster (robster), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 07:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Approximately 11 000km from where it all began.
