YAholics Anonymous! discussion

I'm excited to see how quickly YAholics Anonymous is growing! We have well over 100 members now, so I'd like to ask:

Where are you from?

I'm interested in seeing which parts of the world are represented in our little group. We're not creepers, I promise! ;)

So, leave a comment letting us know where you're from. If you're from the US or Canada, please leave your state or province. For those of you elsewhere, just leave your country!

So many cool places so far! :D

Spain :D

Wow Spain :) I've always wanted to go there. It's a big tourist hub right?

Ooh, I've always wanted to visit there, too. :)

Yep specially the south here in the north the too but less because the weather is a bit special :P

Our weather is crazy here in the southern US, too. Cold and breezy one moment and blazing hot and humid the next. Lol.

Well here not that extreme in here :D

I bet it's still a beautiful place to see! :)

Yes it is :)

Me too. Places with moderate climates are always good and pleasant to travel.

But here i prefer if its more sunny so we can go more often to the beach but it can be worse

Oh ...

We have to go to the east coast for a beach. :(

Luckily, I have family in North Carolina we visit, so I get to see the beach typically once a year. It would be cooler to live closer, though...

Yeah i know :P

I always wanted to visit the west coast well anyplace in the united states :)

I've never been any farther west than my own state, but I've traveled up and down the east coast. I'd like the see California and all that someday, too.

psst. TN, too. <3

I'm from California, but I kinda don't like it... :( Guess it's no fun living here for 20 years and hardly ever leaving home for any reason. More specifically, I live in the Bay Area, which seems like kind of a vacuum between Los Angeles and the Great Northwest. Nothing interesting here except a million art museums, and the weather is too mild. Sometimes we get serious heat, but LA people should wear a jacket, especially in winter. And no snow, ever. Sorry if this seems too depressing but I just feel so confined here. Which is another reason why I'm an all-around bookaholic.

I kinda understand how you feel. Tennessee can be a little like that and I've lived in a College town just about my whole life. And, come August, I'll be moving to ANOTHER college town. Lol. I bet Cali would be a fun place to visit, though. I've always wanted to travel west.

Maybe if I lived in the South like you, I'd appreciate Beautiful Creatures a bit more. Which college town are you moving to, by the way? Something more interesting, I hope?

I'll be moving to Knoxville to attend UTK for grad school. At least it was a city BUILT for college masses. The one I live in now is more of a small city that's be moving waay to crowded. Ugh.

Hi from Davisburg Michigan USA! :D

Lol, a northerner! Yay!

I'm from Sunny California.

I'm from Kansas.

Yay! Even more to add to the states. :)
