  14. Lived in: Kentucky and Indiana (I don’t remember Indiana very well; I only lived there two years when I was three-four years old). KY is a friendly state and there are plenty of things to do here, but the weather in my area isn’t very conducive to spending time outside. First it’s cold but doesn’t snow, then it’s warm for a brief time, then it rains heavily, then it’s hot the rest of the year, then there’s a brief period of cool weather in October, and then it gets cold again, lol. Post 10: where in KY did you go, Purple Panda? :)

    Visited: Other parts of Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington, Ohio, Canada (only very briefly though), Illinois, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. I think that’s it. Has anybody else gone to the Country School Farm in Ohio?

    Will Visit: France, Italy, Sicily, and Malta this summer. Can’t wait!

    Want to Visit: New Zealand, Australia, Greece, Ireland, England, Romania, Czech Republic, Germany, Russia, and pretty much every other area of Europe I can think of. I don’t know how that’s going to happen, but I hope it will somehow work out. :)

    Want to Live in: London! Or maybe Prague; I’d like to study abroad for college someday.

    All MuseBloggers are Ravenclaws. It goes without saying.

    THF (54),

    The “newspaper style” prize applied only to the Mews Nuse thread. Actually, by “style,” I meant that articles should be written the way a journalist would write them, not that they should be formatted in columns. But PP misunderstood, and I didn’t have the heart to disappoint her. Besides, I like giving points to Ravenclaw.

    Bunny points require no explanation, except to say that they are priceless and extremely desirable.

    GR is Grand Rapids, MI. V. froody place. Not quite as cool as Marquette. Slightly hoopier than Bay City though. Possibly tied with TC, possibly a smidgen over. I mean, TC has the cherry festival, but GR has the festival (Actually it’s called the festival of the arts but we just call it festival). Tis very froody, you can go watch the Honeytones (w00t! the drummer’s my dad’s friend from work. They is hoopy band. All from the press i think…) and various high skool groups and get sick on elephant ears and walk around and loiter with people and laugh at the weird hair.
