Hey! I was
Hey! I was wondering if everyone could just do one post saying your name, age, and location (whatever you put for those). A lot of you don't put your age, which confuses me, and I just wanted to have a list of everyone's at once. Thanks! I'm Emily H., age 13, in Sparks, NV.

Well, I haven't given out my real name, (It's in one of the threads somewhere.) Do u want it? If you don't care, I would prefer to just stick with R~D~, my actual initials. I haven't given out where I live either. Hmm... I'm just going to give out my state. :)

Ooh!! My aunt lives in Paulsbo (don't think I spelled that right)!!!!! That's so cool!!!!!!

You live in Greenville, Grace? That's way cool - I have two uncles, two aunts, and four cousins there! My mom and dad went to college at Bob Jones and Clemson and got married there before they moved out to Nevada! So I've been there a couple of times. Maybe I've seen you. :D My parents tell so many stories of Greenville - like the time after they were married when a convict guy was trying to escape from the police and hid in the woods that were in their backyard. Anywho, enough gushing from me, but that's really cool!

Heh, yah it can get confusing.
I used to put everything, including my last initial, but now I don't bother because it takes so much time when I'm just writing something two words long, or so. (you get the point)
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Of course, a lot of people won't put their location, because their parents told them not to, but still, it will be nice to see who's from where. :)
I've never been to Nevada. What's it like? Is it a big hot desert, as I've always pictured it? Or is I like a jungle (hee hee).
See yah!

When I do really shotr posts, I just do "Mary W.", but I'm 11.52 years old, and I live in New Jersey... I used to put "Bordentown, NJ," but then we got our new computer and it doesn't do autofills *is very annoyed* so I shortened it to NJ. :/

Well... It takes like an hour and a half to get there, mostly due to traffic.

Before you got here, we had a contest sort of thing to see which state had the most people, and Washington won (with a TON of people!!!). I think Maine came in second (me, Zoe, Zora, plus a ton of people who showed up once or twice... Weird...). :):)

Nevada is weird, Laura. See, there's tons and tons of hilly, rocky, sage-brushy, sandy, wild horse country. With practically nothing except the occasional highway that seems like it goes on forever. But it's a high-elevation desert: in the winter, we can get really cold. (Ok, so if you live in Minnesota, it wouldn't seem cold, but it does to us. :D) Come summer, we get into triple-digit heat; come winter, we can get a lot of snow. Always very dry, though, hence the classification as a desert. Then, on the western part of the state, there are the Sierra Nevadas (do not call them the Sierra Nevada Mountains - it's so repetatively redundant. :D:D) and they're, well, mountain-like. Coniferous forest, ski resorts, Lake Tahoe, and so on. So in the summer, most of the state is a big hot desert. In the winter, it's a big cold desert. In the mountains, it's mountainy. And the Reno/Sparks area is in the Great Basin, meaning that there are mountains all around us, something that I don't think I could live without. Anywho, that's a really long answer that means "sort of." :P

Cool! It sounds interesting. Boy, I would not last in dry weather. My hands always crack in winter, and the knuckles bleed. And we're only about half an hour away from the ocean!!
(July 16, 2009 - 12:02 pm)
So is Lake Tahoe right on the border? Meaning, half is California, and half is Nevada?
(July 16, 2009 - 12:04 pm)
Well, obviously not exactly half, but yeah, Laura. And the dryness isn't so bad once you get used to it - I think it made the papers last year when there was something like *gasp* 50% humidity!!! Lol.
