Oh..I never got back to you and I have been meaning to, I loved your stories !!! Thank You
i don't post many of these, but i love little question things like this - totally random, but interesting
i've always loved Stargate - i think the concept is so totally cool - and i like the characters
i'm glad you enjoyed my stories:) - Burn Boy is getting published - in print sometime next year in a new journal - A Thousand Faces: the quarterly journal of superhuman fiction - cool name, ay - heh heh - i'm particularly proud because i noticed that most of the stories in the first and second issues were written by men - watch out for this FANGIRL! - heh heh:)
Well Done !!! Congrats..I will keep an eye out for your work :)
This is so awesome.
I lived in Tucson too... Prescott for six months, then Tucson for 18 months...
I loved the scenery, but felt so unsafe there. A lot of little kids went missing and there were three serial rapists operating at the time...
Oh...I was born in Dayton...but only lived there until I was a year old, so I don't remember it.
that's why i like these things:) - you find out more about other people!
after i studied in D.C. and St. Petersburg for my junior year in college, i just couldn't stand going home - so as soon as i got back to my parents, i called up one of my best friends from high school - who had a house in the middle of the desert in Marana - and went out there for a little over three months - i ended up working as a full-time live-in caregiver to this woman with a host of physical ailments in Tucson itself - she had two dogs - i had a great time - she didn't get out much, but she did belong to a really student-heavy evangelical church - i had to take her, so i ended up becoming friends with a lot of them - i never converted:) - and once they understood that they wouldn't be converting me, they were great - i had a blast that summer (1994)! - being 20 was fun:)
btw, my very good friend from college (who i haven't seen in ages) - lives in St. Louis - Allegra - i think she teaches French at a private school - such a small word
Do you know that name of the school?
Ok....so here's more of the low down....
I have lived in
Maine
West Virginia
Illinois
Western Missouri
England (three years, two different places, the second about 20 miles from Cambridge)
Prescott AZ
Tucson AZ
Until I ended up in the St. Louis area....Not as well traveled as you though....
wow - you've lived a lot of places - i went to Maine on a family trip a long time ago - it is beautiful - what was your favorite - do you like St. Louis?
did you like England? - were you studying there? - i had several friends from school who were studying at Oxford while I was in Russia - i spent a couple weeks in England when i was nine - on a trip with my dad, visiting his first wife's family (this was after my parents divorced), on our way to Portugal to visit his family - i had fun - impressions are different when you're a kid - i do remember trying to make the palace guards laugh - never did, but they gamely posed for a pic - and i loved Madame Tussaud's!
you've been out of the country! - for quite a length of time! - that is always a good thing - i call that well-traveled - did you wander around Europe while you were there? - i'm looking forward to doing that again - some of the people i grew up with have never been out of the state - one of my friends never even left the city we grew up in (Avon Lake, Ohio) until a few years ago (in her late 20's)
My ex-husband was in the Air Force and that's how I ended up living in England. While I was there I traveled to Germany several times, but we didn't have the bucks to do any real traveling. I definitely regret not seeing more of England and Europe while I was there.
I really liked England except for the weather....I'm one of those people who needs a certain amount of sunlight to stay sane !!!
Madam Tussauds was totally awesome.....I loved London.
St. Louis is really great in a lot of ways. We have a world class art museum and zoo (both free) and some awesome medical schools too. There's lots a fantasic theater too....
On the other hand, it is a very racially polarized city, which is most unfortunate.
I have definitely heard of John Burroughs....hope you get back in touch with your friend soon !
