I have exactly forty three minutes of battery time left...

[panik]

My new cable won't be here till the end of the week. I really can't spend time browsing around on LJ (I'm having to work with a pen, on paper! O:! Like it's the Middle Ages or something... *g*)

So I'm taking a leaf out of fluterbev's book; that is to say, copying this word-for word from her fabuouls meme:

I've long been delighted and impressed that the people who read my journal originate from far and wide. What I'd love is for you to comment below, and tell me which region/country you are from. And I'd love if you could add to that one particular thing that makes your part of the world unique. It might be music, a TV show, a recipe, a landmark, a specific historical fact. Anything you are proud of, whether other people might be aware of it or not.

Please. Entertain me! I am so very bored!

Meep! 39 minutes and falling...

(Pen and paper -- yeouch! ::hugs you::)

For the meme -- hmm. Not gonna repeat what I already said on fluterbev's and starwatcher307's posts. So...

Grew up in southern Illinois; pretty countryside -- mix of prairie and the far northeastern fringes of the Ozark Mountains' foothills. Very German area in ancestry (a *lot* of sausage :-)), very farm, very small town, but also a lot of coal mining in the area (usually strip mines). Very windy. Pretty close to the Mississippi River.

Savannah -- hmm. There's a Bamboo Farm here that grows all kinds of bamboo (including timber bamboo, which I like to visit and just stand next to, with my hand wrapped around it, and feel weirdly and completely at peace). You can often see dolphins when you're at the beach, and sometimes see them in the tidal creeks. (I've seen a shark in a tidal river, too -- the fin only, because the water's too muddy to see below the surface.) The architecture downtown is truly astonishing, and hard to enjoy because of the number of cars (parked, and being driven), tour buses, trollies, horse-drawn carriages, girl scouts (pilgrimages to the Juliette Gordon Low house), and tourists in search of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil...
