*hugs everyone in the thread*
Ok, I do live in LA, have for 10 years. But I'm continually homesick and get home to my tiny town (born and raised - still have the bdrm at mom's that I was brought home from the hospital to) of 3000 peeps in the Northwoods of Wisconsin at least twice a year. Yay I'll be flying into CWA Xmas eve and be gettin my snow on oh yeah and my Leinie's on and oh yeah my deep fried cheese curds and friday night fish fry and omg I love you all and I love that place. <3 I love going to the bar on main street that an old classmate owns and I can always see someone I know in there most likely wearing either a flannel shirt or a packers hat/coat or some blaze orange and they more than likely smell like snowmobile exhaust oh my...
My first NIN encounter was Feb 4, 1995 at the Target Center in Minneapolis. [Further Down the Spiral tour] I was going to STOUT at the time and trekked over there with my roomies.

shit... I'm even more homesick now... I am looking out my window in North Hollywood at palm trees when this time of year I need snow dammit...
