I LOVE Maryland (Chesapeake Bay) crabs! All of my Mom's relatives live in Maryland and it's TOTALLY awesome when they get bushels of crabs in the summer and we have a big family crab-fest! Of course, my grandpa hates crabs too... he's eats hamburgers while the rest of us eat crabs... off topic, huh? My Mom's relatives lived in Maryland. And my grandma, half-aunt, and great aunt and uncle still live there. Actually my Mother's grandparents were from Chincoteague Is., Virginia. So one side of my family is really big with seafood. But I'm not too much of a fan of fish and crabs and such. Two years ago we went to Maine everyone wanted me to try lobster. So I thought it'd be okay... until I saw the things! You could still see their eyes and then there's all that green stuff that comes out of them!! YUCK! So give my a hamburger any day! Or chicken! YUM! (Oops! I'm rambling...)

I've been to maryland a few times. Went to the Baltimore aquarium, and stopped at some truck stops on the way to D.C.. I was really tempted to buy a tacky squeaky crab souvenir at the truck stop gift store.

I come from Alaska! ;D Well, I came from Ohio... and THEN moved to Alaska... but hey. I have no memory of Ohio. Alaska is a very pretty place, winter and summer time, but it is VERY large! Larger than Texas. Meerph. Did you know that after Alaska got annexed, we had to change our state song from "largest and grandest" to "boldest in grandest?" Texans are very prideful. They have classes devoted to making you memorize the rivers and the history. They have state bingo and "Everything's bigger in Texas!" signs all over the place, too.

Larger than Texas. Alaska used to belong to the Russians, until Russia had to sell it, 2 cents per acre. (Very cheap!) One person bought it ( ) and for years, it was known as the big ice box, or Seward's Folly, because they thought there was nothing there except for ice and snow. They were not aware of Alaska's treasures until later. (I don't know the date!) In 1959, Alaska became a state. Sorry to be so bad at history. I think the United States spent $72 million or so on the land, and that now Alaska brings in that much per day. I live 45 minutes to 2 hours away from San Francisco depending on the traffic. (Paranoia prevents me from saying anything more.)

Crystal hails from Penang, Malaysia. Selamat pagi means 'good morning', by the way - there's no such word as 'welcome' in Malay.
I'm tri-lingual, sort of. I speak English fluently, Malay fairly well, and Hokkien sort of around-the-edges. I need to learn Mandarin and Cantonese though. Penang is a small island in the upper part of Peninsula Malaysia, and it's not likely I'll ever meet any of you guys. Singapore is in the south of the peninsula. Not much history to speak of, unless you want an extended version of my history book. In Malay.
Jika saya membuat benda itu, kamu semua akan MATI!!! Mwahahaha!!!!

My mom's family is from Wv. Have you seen, uh I think's it called "Honey In The Rock"? It's a play, sort of.
I hail from (the Panhandle of) Florida, USA. Home of the "worlds most beautiful beaches". Riggghhhttt. Not after the stupid Snowbirds (old people who come down South for the winter and drive 10 miles under the speed limit) and the Spring Breakers run all over them. We used to live across from the beach where MTV would come and film their imbecilic spring break specials. It was horrible, with skimpily clad, drunk people roaming the streets constantly. A bunch of them came up and shook our minivan in the Burger King drivethrough for no other reason than they were drunken idiots. Bah.

I used to be obsessed with Chincoteague Island because of the Misty of Chincoteague story, during my horse obsession phase. Yeah, I've heard a lot about all that, and about the ponies swimming across the water to the island every year from my relatives. But I haven't actually seen it happen in real life. I've seen it on TV and stuff, but I'd like to go back there sometime to see the ponies.

(Sorry if this seems like reviving an old thread)
I was born and raised in a little (ok, not so little now) city named Modesto in the state of California, personally, I HATE this place, there's so much crime, murders, kinappings and drug-dealings are the more common ones...I'm moving to Portugal, my grandma's home country, as soon as I get the chance.
I speak English and am trying to find a way to learn how to speak Japanese

I hail from Mexico City! si, así que MarillTachiquin y yo somos paisanas. Well, Mexico City is a really big city, with lots of things to see and do, I really like it here. We do have some problems like pollution, but most people is nice and warm. The population is very big, and many of the main industries are here, it's like te center of all Mexico cause it's the capital. Y claro, hablo español! ;D (Uh... eso debe explicar porque mi ingles es tan malo, jaja ) Translation:And of couse, I speak Spanish! ;D (Uh... that must explain my bad English, lol )

Here's a hello from British Columbia, Canada. The -district- of North Vancouver, to be more precise. My neighbourhood is really picture-perfect-- mowed lawns, clean houses, friendly people, and a huge community feeling.
North Van. is suburban, which I love. I live around a minute away from the foot of Mount Seymour-- a regular mountain, with pretty fair skiing. It's fun, living in such a nice area. The property value of homes around here is on average 500,000-600,000 dollars, and there are a ton of small hikes and trails to do.
I'm about a five minute drive from Deep Cove, a gorgeous little place with ice cream shops, and kayaking and canoeing on Indian Arm. ^_^
