"Where did you grow up?"
 

I was just thinking today~
Am I the only one who finds that an odd question? Just the moment when you're talking to someone and they're suddenly asking you where you grew up. I just never know how to answer, and people never understand when I ask them if they mean where I lived, or the moment in time where I finally felt like I'd grow up, out grown things, and if so what things?
The people I talk to never seem to get what I'm trying to say~
Do you think it's weird, questions like "Where did you grow up?"?
How do you answer that?
What other questions do you think are strange?
Also.. xD Where did you "grow up"?

Ah ^^ I guess maybe it isn't as strange as it is uncommon.
Florida! Oh Oh. I've been meaning to ask~
Since of course you live in the state where Universal and Disneyland are, have you ever been? o.o

Ugh, Disney World is so boring... unless you're under ten. Epcot is the shiz, though. I know. I grew up in Lakeland, FL. Still here, too! Universal is better.

@Saiyouri: xD I like your little warning at the end~ Yeah I don't like answering where I grew up. o.o; I kind of always thought it was just asking where you lived longest when you were under 18. xD Aside from the "With my parents" answer.
@Yume: xD See, I hear that a lot. I have friends who live IN Orlando, and they haven't even been. One of them has been to Universal, once, and that's it. xD
@Reyoki: ._.; Yeah.. Canadian's from Ontario really have nothing aside from Wonderland and the CN tower. xD So we don't have much to compare.

Every time I read/hear Where are you from, I say "I came from my mom"...I'm sorry that a little too immature but it does make logical sense

Anyway Mastic Beach, NY now live in Longmont CO

Saiyouri: Ah really? I mean I guess I don't really know I've been to thre- technically four schools. But I think teachers here because there are so many kids who are loud, and rude, they kind of enjoy the quiet ones. I start every semester quietly, until I get to know some people, at least one person, than I think I talk someones ear off pretty fa- Well no.. I mean xD I just I can make small talk a lot better. It's a shame people treated you that way though. I don't think anyone should have to feel that way or go through things. But! It makes you who you are! How many kids do you have? :3
@Echo-Chan... Technically you came from your Dad. As the faster sperm out of the bunch~
Yume: What do you want to be when you grow up? ^^

Yume, are you still in the bay area?

To me it's only odd depending on age. I mean I've seen people ask it to middle school age kids. I for one don't quite think of myself as 'Grown Up' even though I'm 21, so yeah.

I mean for me, I've lived all my life in Davie County, NC, but I spent most of my summers with my grandparents in the mountains of Southwestern Virgina. But I feel as though I've 'Grown Up' the most here at college, so I almost feel as though saying my college is a more appropriate answer.

But without my mom's egg I wouldn't have existed as well as I came from my dad his body would have gone through some sort of pregnancy and I don't want to know the male's giving birth...MPREGS D:

Saiyouri: Yeah, I guess that happens in some places. Probably a lot more than often. xD and yes, in it's own little way it makes sense. I kind of see that, where you have people who don't fit in, but they're not truly outcasts. But :D you're not lonely anymore! :3

Kali_Namir: :3 I like that you don't consider yourself grown up. D: being grown up is no fun!
Is it nice in Southwest Virginia? ^^

Echo-Chan: xD It was worth a shot. xD there's a movie about a man giving birth.. When I remember what it's called I'll let you know!

@Yume: o.o; I would suggest vet. But I always think that'd be the worst job for an animal lover at the same time.
@Saiyouri: >.> "One kitty two kitty soft ball of fur, three kitty four kitty pur pur pur." xD

D: Exactly. I mean- I find it weird, I faint over my lizards toe bleeding ._.; But when I see a person bleeding. xD It's just.. funnier..
What do you do? ^^

@Saiyouri: But I bet it's lots of fun ^ ^
@Yume: I feel silly for not knowing what an Animal Cop is. ^^;

Is it Junior and Arnold Schwarzenegger is the one pregnant

YES! xD

My mom loves that movie, I don't know why.

It's where you lived most/all of your childhood. For some, there is no answer because they moved.

I grew up where I am sitting right now. I've lived in the same house all 22 years of my life so far.

@Echo-Chan: xD I hear it's good, but I've never seen it, I've just seen previews of it on the movie channels.

@Yokuutsu: I mean xD I know what people are asking most of the time. But sometimes I can't help but think if anyone has ever thought of it that way.

I mean I've moved three times, but if I was really going to answer that, I'd say in my current house, because I've lived here for 10 years as of August. Since I moved here in 1st grade. But- I guess my question would make sense if you added "When" instead of "where".

But...with when....I have no answer D:

I don't wanna grow up XD

TO NEVER NEVER LAND! :D

Southwest Virginia was gorgeous growing up, but it was the poor part of the mountains. So I got to watch my grandparents expand their small two bedroom home to the house I adore. I also got to basically explore the mountains and use an outhouse growing up. It's also where I learned to cook, from my Granny.

That actually sounds great, o.o; it just sounds so- o.o; Homey? xD That sounds like a weird way of putting it. But it sounds kind of like the nice places you read about in books, and well the nice things I guess too~

I'm now in a small town of longmont where it takes 10 minutes on main st to get to the north to southside

I've always wanted to live in a place like that ._.;

I live in a "town" that technically has a population of a City. We keep the name "Town" because it's more inviting to people who are just moving it. It takes- I live on one end of Whitby, and it takes way more than an hour to travel the whole thing. It took an hour to two hours just to walk to my old elementary school, which, isn't even in the middle. D:
And I walk fast ._.;
But I guess it's kind of nice here. I mean my aunt lives one door down from me, so that I like, since I like to visit her a lot. But it's not really a special place, the only place I thought was special is being bulldozed to become some kind of resort. D:
