Lol I was so confused because I'm not familiar with those kinds of apples!

Not a major confession, but an embarrassing one nevertheless: I haven't had a shower in several days. I am great about showers and hygiene but just haven't been in this particular instance. I 100% planned to today or yesterday, but yesterday I did laundry and my towels came out of the dryer still wet (and I couldn't put them back in - I'm in an apartment and the dryers cost money and I have no money right now). To make matters worse, they were STILL too wet today. As for why I didn't shower on Saturday, IDK. I think because I showered late the day before and then spent Saturday out.

I went to the dentist and got a cavity filled. My mouth is cavity free now! =D Then on the way home I went to a couple of grocery stores and got groceries.

I've seen raccoons and skunks on a rare occasion. Most common animal in my apartment complex are squirrels. We also have a family of stray cats and kittens. I feel bad for them, but they are fed by neighbors. Back in my parents' house down in OK, they have a ton a wild rabbits. They are adorable and I miss getting to see them! I haven't seen many wild rabbits since I moved to CT. I wish they'd come to visit my apartment complex! They're sooo cute!

Connecticut has a long history and no doubt there are tons and tons of things I do not know about (probably inventions). Some things I do know, though: ESPN. The first amusement park in the country, Lake Compounce is here. New Haven style pizza/apizza. And one that many won't think of, but is a very important fact of the country's founding: The Danbury Baptists who wrote to Thomas Jefferson lamenting that a Christian denomination was establishing itself in the government in CT are from here. That conversation is where Thomas Jefferson coined "a wall of separation between church and state". If only so many in this country weren't so intent on ignoring history and establishing religion on us.

I can't even begin to understand it, but to each their own. Nothing wrong with it that I can see.

I was 18 and just about to start my first semester at community college.

I did it! I escaped the dreadful Bible Belt and now live in New England. Alas, the US really went down the toilet since back then and now it's scary even living in one of the best states. It's a real shame what has become of the country because I still love New England. I wish it could just be its own thing at this point and leave the US to its depravity and stupidity. Anyway, funny how in the original post I didn't mention Canada at all. I'm really wondering why. Now, unless the US makes some miraculous turn to good instead of evil (or New England somehow becomes independent), I'd like to live in Canada, or one of the Scandinavian nations. Not that I see moving to those places as possible at all, so...

It was horribly hot and humid most of the day but then we got some rain and the temperature dropped into the low 70s for the evening.

Depends on what you consider a vacation. In the early Spring when my parents came up to see me, we went to the neighboring state Rhode Island - a bit further than I've been into the state. We went to the Newport area, but didn't really get to look at Newport itself much, we mostly hung out at the nearby beaches, but you can see some houses if you zoom in to the first photo. Newport has such cute houses! We had lots of fun at the beaches! Found lots of shells! Last autumn, my dad and I went up to northern New England, mainly New Hampshire and Maine. It felt more vacationy because it was a little further away, and we stayed a couple of nights. Of course, that trip was amazing. Since a young age I've always wanted to live in Maine! While I ended up moving to a more southern New England state, Maine will always have a piece of my heart!

I agree wholeheartedly with this and I personally hope that feature isn't a part of the upcoming sequel.

I had a dream where my parents had adopted a baby and I had a new little sister. Now obviously at their age that absolutely isn't ever going to happen. So I see this dream as more baby fever nonsense from my brain.

I was raised calling it pop. But now I live in a different region of the country so I'm adapting and calling it soda. But the thing is that I don't even use the term that much. I don't drink soda and haven't for nearly a decade now.

At my former workplace, which was typically more mature (I'd have expected rumors when I worked at retail, that place was like middle school, but at this job? No.), a rumor must have been spread there for a while. A rumor that is incredibly embarrassing as a woman. It happened to my sister, too (outside of this workplace, of course). The rumor is that I was pregnant. I know that physically I look like a potato, but... Come on. I was very, very single. The person who conveyed it to me wasn't someone I talked to, though, so it's possible that wasn't widely known. If it was, well that rumor was probably even worse than I thought, as this was an Evangelical workplace and that (sex and pregnancy outside of marriage) would have been very scandalous. But as far as I know it dropped after I said no. I said that I would love to be a mother someday, but that no that wasn't the case. Usually I keep to myself so I like to think that people don't pay attention to me and don't make rumors, but that's not true. People are very nosy, especially in the south where I used to live. They even commented on the food I ate. People I had never talked to would come up and know me by what I ate for lunch. Jesus Christ. WHO CARES?!

I live in the beautiful state of Connecticut! =D We are a tiny state. Things are somehow both pretty densely packed, but also there's plenty of nature. We have beaches, some sandy, some rocky. We have hills and mountains. There is so much variety of landscapes packed into this tiny little state. There's lots of historical buildings and houses around. Just even going to the store, you'll run into houses that are marked as historical! It's so cool! We have four seasons. Summer tends to be a mixed bag. This year it's been crazy hot a lot of the time, but then right now at 5 pm, it's in the 60s and breezy. It's gorgeous! The weather is less prone to natural disasters than other areas. They can still happen, but, like, I don't know that I've experienced a single Severe Thunderstorm this year. That's amazing. We're in between Boston and NYC, there's so much here! We have great pizza, especially in New Haven! People here generally mind their business - Both personally and politically. It's so nice, seeing as I came from a state that was the opposite - random strangers being too friendly and very controlling politics. Unfortunately small talk still exists here, but it's far better than the south, that's one thing for sure. I didn't always live in the Northeast, but I truly do feel as if I was always meant to live here. It's a weird thing to say, since I don't believe in fate. But it really is like I was misplaced in the south. The culture and climate is just a much better fit for me here.

I'm fifteen hundred miles away, so that would be kinda difficult.

Your math isn't mathing. Three years have passed since I made that post. Silly boy. EDIT: Turns out I was wrong, too. It's been four years, not three.

Yes, I can name them all. When researching on which state to move to, I got accustomed to all of them and where they are located (even though 90% of them were automatically off the table for me), so I can name all of them easily: Connecticut Massachusetts Rhode Island Maine Vermont New Hampshire New York New Jersey Delaware Maryland California Washington Oregon Idaho Hawaii Alaska Montana Wyoming Utah Colorado Nevada Arizona New Mexico North Dakota South Dakota Nebraska Kansas Oklahoma Texas Louisiana Arkansas Missouri Iowa Minnesota Wisconsin Illinois Kentucky Tennessee Mississippi Georgia Indiana Michigan Ohio Pennsylvania West Virginia Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Florida Alabama If I doubled any of those and didn't end up getting them all, god help me. I can pass a quiz on this easily. lol

High school me, and also me a few years ago when I thought a crush of mine and I were closer than we actually were. OMG.

Top choice is definitely Canada. Good government (for the time being, at least.), the best climate for me, and it would be less of a culture shock than pretty much anywhere else. I don't much like change, you know? Although given the chance to move to Canada I would take it in a heartbeat. Preferably somewhere in Quebec, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia since they're in a similar region of North America to where I already live. I've had to give a lot of thought to this, much like I previously did when moving states in the USA, so I have a general idea of what countries in the world I could live in versus those I couldn't. The only other countries I could see myself ever living in (with some of these being a culture shock, for sure) are Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, Germany or Ireland.

If they wanted to, we could go to my favorite pizza place in New Haven and/or we could go to the beach. If they weren't into any of that, that'd be fine. I mean, me liking the beach is very uncharacteristic for me, lets be honest, but it it just turned out that way. Gosh darnit, now I'm craving pizza. It's been sooooo long. Please, let that special someone come soon so I can have pizza.

I have AT&T (I almost automatically typed ADHD, oops. That's true, too, though. >.<). It's what my parents have, and they pay for my line as a part of their plan. It's awkward, because I was recently exchanging phone numbers with someone and when I called them so they got my number it showed up as someone calling from "Tulsa, OK". I'm like NOOOOO I don't live in that miserable area anymore! Nevertheless, don't know if I'll ever change my number. I don't know that it's necessary. But when I see that come up on someone's screen, it makes me feel like it's more necessary than I was previously thinking. I'm fine with AT&T (not even joking, I almost typed ADHD again). For years, though, we had limited internet usage and it was awful. If I ran even one video on the internet, it'd flag us for "75% of usage" for the month. But we changed that a few years ago or so. It's night and day.

I had a doctor's appointment, and then I went to the store. The rest of the day I relaxed.

Aw, come on, it was just a mistake. I meant it has my name in it. lol. Hm. Wonder what your name is. Hopefully I'd get it right!

I have a shower and bathtub combo. I've had that in every place I have ever lived, so it's the norm to me. Let me think of how to describe the way the shower in my apartment works, because it's kinda weird. I can do it automatically because I've done it so many times now, but it's still strange. I do know that the knob is turned counter clockwise to be turned on, but in its default off position, the knob is not facing a straight direction like you'd think. It's like facing at 4 on a clock. Typically getting it to where it is facing straight down (6 with the same analogy) is where I like it temperature-wise. You then have to turn it clockwise all of the way back to its weird default position to turn it off. Funniest thing, though, is that when I was going to a local pool for aquatic therapy earlier this year, the showers in the locker room had the exact same kinda shower. It was nice for me to not have to figure it out! lol. I wonder if it's a local brand or something.
