Wasn't born in USA but ever since I've been here I've lived in Florida so I guess you could say I'm from Florida

I actually sometimes just consider Washington and Oregon somewhat the same state (although that could just be because I live on the boarder of Vancouver and Portland), we have very similar mannerisms and the same "type" of people although the people of Washington seem to be a bit more refined.
Ya but you lose points for Seattle. I'm from Oregon, I've driven up to Seattle a few times and I've hated my life every single time. No matter what, it seems that dealing with traffic anywhere near Seattle is about as enjoyable as a cavity search. But I still feel some comradeship for Washington. And I most certainly agree with the insult in not being given a Northwest option in the poll!GrimTuesday said:
Oregon's pretty damn cool too. Plenty of open space, beaches, mountains, lush camping areas, great for out-doorsy people. Portland is a pretty sweet cultural center. I'm not much of a city person, but I have to say that if I were to choose a city to live in, it would have to be Portland. Also, no sales tax. And people get paid to pump my gas. Creates jobs and saves me the hassle.
But I don't really want more people moving here and clogging up my roads like Seattle. So anyone looking for a new place to live, pretend Oregon is dry, ugly, flat, and uninteresting.
The traffic is pretty bad in the Seattle area but it's so much fun to just go up for the day that I can deal with it. The real downside to Seattle is the sports teams. It's been a rough few years to be a Seahawks or Mariners fan ;_;IzisviAziria said:
I fucking love Portland, it's like my second home city (Vancouver/Camas is my first). There's nothing like spending the day at Powells Books, and leaving with an excessive amount of books.
Probably because I'm a foreigner and have heard of Portland and not Corpus Christi. Which is also a really whack name for a town btw. I imagine it to be perfectly spherical and edible, but only after having a sip of red wine. Maybe the entire town can be used as an escape vessel when the aliens invade.manaman said:
I'm from Cheese-head land. We got tulips, which we stole from the middle east, dykes with which we steal land from the sea, wooden shoes, which are mostly used to steal money from tourists, blue painted porcelain which we stole from the Chinese, bikes which we steal from one another and the most powerfully refined versions of the so-called soft-drugs, which are legally sold but illegally grown.
The Japanese also have a saying that wherever one of my countrymen passes grass will never grow again because we are basically devoid of all niceties when it comes to making business deals. For a while we were also the only foreigners allowed upon Japanese shores, I believe the English messed that sweet little monopoly up for us.
And if you don't know what country I'm talking about you need to brush up on your geography. Or check my profile, whichever seems more sensible to you.
As for gaming, De Blob originated from our shores as well as Guerilla Games, which does Killzone.
I'm from Washington, and here we call our region the Northwest, which was sadly not in your poll. As for what makes my state rock? We somehow are able to propagate the story that it does nothing but rain here. Half the state is dry, arid land, and the coast half only gets rain off and on for half the year.
I don't.
But I visited Florida Keyes or something like that.
It rocked because it had a pirate museum that a crocodile had gotten into.

The question is, do they come that way or does the dullness of Wisconsin do that to them?darkfire613 said:

Basically-
Southern California.
I like it here well enough. The only other place I've been to that I think I would enjoy living is Portland Oregon (Powell's bookstore is my Mecca).
I'm not sure whether to like it or be sad about it but down here you can drive for hours without leaving city, you just go from one to the next without ever really being sure where the change happened. I tend to figure it means that I can go all sorts of places and find all sorts of stores, bars, restaurants, ect.
