10 Day Challenge, Day 5
The challenge origin is from here.
Today I'm on six places. Places I've been or places I want to go? Not sure. As I don't have a huge list of places I want to go, I'll instead focus on where I've been.
1. Pittsburgh, my hometown. It's actually the outskirts of Pittsburgh where I lived for my first few years. I loved that there were four distinct seasons, that it was distinctly working class there, and that it's home to so many good memories.
2. Scotland. I went there for my college graduation present...with my mother. Eh, the company wasn't so great, but I did love Scotland. I love the Scottish attitude, the scenery, the peacefulness, the castles, and I hate the food, which is awesome because it means I eat less. :)
3. Las Vegas. After you live in the land of greed, I think you learn to have a better relationship with money. Money gives you far more than things; it gives you security. And you get a sampling of how hot hell can be when you're in Vegas. Effing hot.
4. Seattle. Love it. Love the diversity, the greenery, the non-uptight-ness, being close to the water and the mountains.
5. Texas. It's like a whole other country. Maybe not so much the major cities, but I lived in two tiny Texas towns, and it was awful.
6. Ohio. Depravity. Depravity teaches you things, I suppose. It was a sad time we lived there (right after my mom divorced my dad), and then we ended up being burglarized. Talk about being in a place that kicks you when you're down. I went back there a few years ago, and - guess what - it seemed just as full of depravity.
