Where are you from?

Post by Mele » Fri Jul 11, 2014 8:25 am

It's really a small world because two players live where I was born and raised and one lives within a maybe 20 minute drive. :-) On top of that, two older inactive players lived very close when I was back home and we met up! Annnnd an old imm had lived in the 20 min radius also!

So now I'm just being nosy. :-) Which also means I'll start!

I currently live in Rocklin, CA. I have been here eight years. I was born and raised in Lowell, MA. My mom lives there still in Belvedire and teaches at the Stoklosa. My dad and brother live in Manchester. Apparently we have a handful of fkers close there!

I am from Green Bay, WI and have lived everywhere from California to the Middle East and back to Redgranite, WI in the 14ish years I've been on FK.

I was born in Central Coast California, and grew up in Northern Utah. I moved to BC, Canada several years ago.

My husband and I, who both play, actually live about 5 hours from another person who plays. We currently reside in Grande Prairie, Alberta.

Orginally from Southern California, born there.. moved to Honolulu, Hawaii by the time I was about two because my father was in the Navy(Yes.. I'm a navy brat.. Grandfather was a naval chief). Moved back to California for a few years before moving to Pennsylvania after my dad got remarried. Lived there for a few years.. then moved back to California again. Lived there until the beginning of March in 2009 and then moved up to Seattle, Washington. I now reside in Federal Way, Washington since the beginning of 2011.

Talk about moving everywhere!

Born and raised in Henderson, NV, outside of Las Vegas. Used to be a gap between the cities but it's melded together with all the growth it's had in the last however many years. 1.5 years ago I moved up to Portland, OR, and I'm pretty sure I'm stuck here. 1 - No car. 2 - Employer will probably buy me out again if I try to move, as they have already done so once before. :D

Born in Georgia, living in Georgia now, but I have migrated from here to Texas intermittently over the years... I think I have about 7-8 years total of living there. Though, if all goes well with my degree - and Georgia hasn't changed their bible-thumping ways by then - I will be immigrating to Holland.

Think I'm the fella Tyeslan was taking about living inside of five hours from her. Edmonton Alberta here. Grew up all over Canada though. From Cold Lake Alberta to Moncton New Brunswick (found out after I left that a goon I knew there played FK though I was playing a different mud back then). Oh small worlds.

I've been from a few towns in Georgia, but at this point may as well be Wild Bill from Dawsonville himself. Work's good (for now) in the humble town, so I'll probably be here for a bit longer.
