Oh hello! Nice to meet you. Sorry we took your team ;) Wish I could say I've been a fan for that long, but alas it's only been about 15 yrs.

LOL! It's all good...I'm not a huge sports fan in general but I do believe that that trade was stupid for MN but great for the Stars.

Agreed. 100%. The franchise has done well down in Dallas. Of course, that was helped by having the greatest American-born hockey player on your team :) God, I love that man!!

Oh goodness, I can't even be nice and say anything good about your Penguins. I seriously dislike them. But you have redeemed yourself with your Modano fandom ;) I'm so sorry you don't get much hockey down there :( That would be the WORST.

I'll go with both of you and pretend to be your adopted angelic son. =P I can speak, write and read a little Greek =P Let's go to Cephalonia, the setting of my favorite novel CORELLI'S MANDOLIN.

Louisiana~ Cajun Country

Mississippi

Middle of Nowhere, USA aka Central Missouri

@Julie, I'm in southeast Iowa and I always say I live in the middle of nowhere...could be true since we're pretty close :)

I think that whole strip of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska is probably the middle of nowhere. There are some pretty remote locations in those states.

I've lived in the Baltimore, Maryland, suburbs all my life.
JD, what part of Ohio do you live in? I used to have friends in Licking County.

Los Angeles, California and I'm 22 :D I love the city, the suburbs get me depressed o.O lol I've never lived out of state, but I have visited a few... or rather passed by x] Lol
