Where are you?

[cos]

I have a mental quirk about remembering where people live: I have two separate indexes, one keyed by person, the other keyed by location. The first one updates when I find out someone has moved, but not the second - that one usually only updates when I see the person in that location (sometimes, if I meet someone for the first time who lives somewhere else, I enter them in the second mental index correctly, but sometimes I don't). If I want to remember where you live, I can. But if I'm visiting somewhere and try to remember who's there, I often miss some people simply because I've never hung out with them there. It can go on like that for years, and through multiple visits.

Help me by filling out this poll! If you want me to remember where you are, that is :)

After a week or two, I'm going to "backdate" it to the future, so it'll be near the top of cos and you can easily find it and updated it if you wish. [Edit: actually, nevermind - I'm just linking here from my top-of-journal post]


Options are checkboxes so you can select multiple locations. If your family's there, your primary's there, you go to school in one place and spend the summer in another, you grew up there and still have a lot of friends and visit every year or two, include them all.

FYI, my parents moved to Indy nearly 2 years ago, so my excuses for going back to my hometown are few and far between. (I don't visit Indy much, either -- I've only been there twice in the last two years.)

Maryland's in the northeast? News to me... and I called it home for 22 years.

We're just outside Orlando, Florida-you list Miami/Broward County, but we're about four to six hours north of there.

So, despite the fact that that it wasn't really listed, I think you remember that I live near Chapel Hill (Raleigh/Durham metro area-ish), since you recently wanted to mention us to some friends moving into the area. (Which I haven't heard anything about recently, btw... did that happen?)

Unrelatedly, I'm hijacking this comment to point out in case you didn't already know that your Wiffiti company was talked about in last week's issue of the Economist. I can look up more details if you're interested and don't already have them.

I think I was in Iowa when we met, then in Columbus for a while...but I'm back in Missouri now, for the record. Central MO, but I spent a lot of time in StLouis and KC.

You didn't have an option for "Center of the Universe", which at least some people in Boulder seem to think it is.

I am going to be moving shortly, but within Boulder.

since I'm pretty sure you made a category just for me, my marking it is kinda redundant, isn't it?

I rather hoped you'd catch my lj posts indicating that my location this Tuesday would be Diesel so you could come to my location. I should have been more proactive with the telephone. :(

David and I are in Colorado Springs and doing our best to get a Democrat in congress. :)

I'm pretty likely to be moving in the next year, though.

Mine's not in there, but since you've visited me here, I'm going to assume the second database has been updated.

Boston now, England later. Sometime. You'll know, 'cause you'll have to help me move again. ;)

I'm in the bay area, but I'm less in the bay area than I used to be. Accessible by BART, but fairly far out on the BART line and in a weird suburbia.

In NJ, but a bit far out to be considered Metro NYC/North Jersey. I grew up getting both NY and Philly stations on TV antennas. Between Princeton and New Brunswick, in Kendall Park, which is in South Brunswick Township.

I live in Somerville, I wander around Somerville & Cambridge mostly. Maybe a couple times a month, if that, I end up somewhere in Boston proper.

I didn't notice the part I was supposed to check off for "the world" - it's the US.

Hawaii.

I just saw this, so I'm posting. I live in the Research Triangle of NC. I will be visiting CO every so often and OR sometimes. I've never been to OR, but I plan to live there some day.

But how do you know which boxes I checked?
