Now there's where I feel at home. Jacksonville, Florida. Or more accurately, Jacksonville Beach. I spent the first fourteen years of my life there, many of them in a house my parents built. I have a dream to go back and buy that house again one day.

The place I was born, Greenbelt, Maryland, is just another city to me. I was only a few months old when we moved to Florida.

I didn't think any place other than Jacksonville would ever feel like home to me, but after living in Morgantown, West Virginia for only a couple years, it became another 'home'. I made more friends there (outside of the 'Net) than I'd ever had in my life. That probably had something to do with it.

I guess I rambled just a bit. But, well, you DID ask. :-)
