I think there are probably more Ents than people here, but they're not giving themselves away just yet!

Cheers [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] In my part of the world we have hardly any people, but no Ents. I'd like an Ent for a neighbour, there's plenty of forest for him to live in [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Not only do I live in a country some people actually think is the capital of Sweden, but I even live far away from anything that might be considered civilisation. Ah well, I don't mind too much, as long as I've got my computer I'll survive. I'm moving as soon as I'm done with secondary school though. Lately I've been thinking about moving to Scotland [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hi, Leowen! Where in Florida are you?

I live on the west coast! Technically. I actually live in the large, sweltering, pit of Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite what may be your first thought, i have absolutly NO FUN living here. It smells funny when it gets above 115 degrees (f), which is every day from May to September.
Dont come here, any of you. you will die a painful, slow, boring, hot death.

Mine is a long story...

Sorry, I meant no meanness with my remark.

I only meant that most of the people I've met on here are from Europe, and thus have something in common, like GMT! But that is not to say that everyone else isn't cool, despite the lack of GMT.

I'm from the U.S, and I know alot of cool people. (not me though, I'm too socially inept to be cool

)

warrenerd · 03-01-2004, 04:45 PM

i live in a little bubble in the suburbs near atlanta, georgia. the bubble (peachtree city) blocks filters out southern accents, but it's suffocating in here. i want to move north.
