Hey!! Why was the "where are you from?" thread closed?! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lady_Báin · 06-20-2002, 05:39 AM

I didn't get to post on "The Downs, an international board. Where are you from?". This may seem a tad selfish but i want to have my say.
I was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Ausrtalia, lived there for eight years. moved to Utah, U.S.A. for five years and i am currently in Iceland and have been here for two and a half years. First read J.T. when i was thirteen, and have been ever since.

P.S. please bon't close this topic BW I know there are still people who want to tell their story. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

That's so awesome Morgul Queen, I wanna be in the movie!! Well, I'm from New York, as you see at the bottom. Not the city. I lived farther upstate but moved when I was 7. We used to go hiking everyday, it was awesome. But there was like no civilization there! Oh well, I've lived in Ny my whole life. I'm moving to Scotlnad or Vancouver one of these days, I'll make it happen!!! Or New Zealand or England, whichever..

Daniel Telcontar · 06-21-2002, 06:55 AM

I come from Denmark, the worst place on earth... No actually, it is so great a country, that we are not allowed to tell it, because then everyone would move to DK. I love travelling and have been many places in Europe, but I would love to go to USA, and maybe meet some other Barrowdowners... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Hullo, I was born in Rivendell but have recently moved to Rhûn, the woods by the sea in the far east. In reality, I live in Idaho, in the good ol' USA!

I've been wondering why the original thread was closed. Has anyone PMed the Barrow-Wight about this?
For my part, I was born in Kiev, Ukraine. Am ethnically Russian, but hold Ukrainian citizenship (this is the kind of thing that happens when superpowers fall apart into pieces). Have lived in North Carolina since I was 10, and am now going to college at....at...Duke (which means I won't be out of this blasted state for another 4 long years).

Glenethor · 06-25-2002, 02:18 AM

I was born in a crossfire hurricane,
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's alright, now, in fact it's a ....

WAIT A MINUTE! &$%^$^$^ Me with a CHAINSAW! I gotta stop doing my Strolling Bones imitation... In B Major, shall we?

[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I was born in Montreal, Que, Canada. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away... When Stanley Cups were our natural right, the Montreal Forum a shrine rather than a multiplex...or whatever it is now.
