HRH Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 :rofl: Well apparently I'm from Fresno, Boise, and Salt Lake City. Considering I was born in Walnut Creek, CA, lived in Idaho and went to school in Flagstaff, AZ, they're roughly close. Quote Link to comment

Cleopatra Jones Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm apparently from Columbus, Greensboro and Richmond which is funny cause I was born, bred and raised in Southern California. I did live in NY for a while. Might be because both parents are originally from the East Coast. Quote Link to comment
