No your not. Don't mess around DDML; LA gangstas are hard as they come:

He heh. Yep. I think I am proud to not have a real hometown........I don't want to be 'pinned down.' Aside from the whole marriage thing of course

[stillthehorror]

And what's with most LA people having lived in Riverside? Did you like it? ... Cus I hate it.

most "LA people" aren't actually from LA. and that's the truth, ruth.

riverside was just like any other suburb, the only difference being that it was so far away from the city that it kind of created its own culture of desert bros, fake gangsters, and scenesters.

apparently, its a really hard city to leave. i'm glad so many people here were able to go.

Quoted for truth. Here in Japan, I just say I'm from LA but really Torrance is a suburb.

Columbus was nice. Lived there during my elementary school years. But I feel too metropolitian to ever go back or perhaps that's just my perception....

[airfrogusmc]

No your not. Don't mess around DDML; LA gangstas are hard as they come:

I tend to think of Marines not punk gangsters as being hard. Most punks couldn't cut the first 10 minutes of boot camp. And the badest of the bad never made it back.

who knows where i'll end up

[azn8oi]

mm.. I think when people say "I'm from LA" it really just means that I live in West LA (everything West of Pasadena). I don't know ANYONE that lives in 90032, the literal zip code for Downtown LA and its surroundings.

That is a very diverse list of places you've lived in...

Myself:

born in Toronto, Canada (Mount Sinai Hospital)

spent childhood through adolescence going back and forth between Toronto and Hong Kong (most 'crucial' development stage spent in Hong Kong though)

Now I go to school in Ann Arbor, Michigan but live in HK during offseason, probably going to move back to HK after graduation, maybe try to find some work in China (probably Shanghai).

[Guest Fade to Black]

most "LA people" aren't actually from LA. and that's the truth, ruth.

i find this is also true of Shanghai...

I'm fascinated with LA right now though...i wouldn't mind living there for a few years checkin out the scene. Too bad I don't drive.

[onemancult]

born and raised in new york city... very, very tied to it, although i am always entertaining thoughts of setting up shop somewhere else.

edit: but not permanently. i want to die in nyc.
