I though it would be cool to find out where everyone is from, I think someone already did this but still...

Also I'm from Sydney, Australia and I was wondering if anyone from this site who lives nearby might want to meet face to face, if so PM me.

Geography

I think we've got a fairly wide spectrum of disclosure here, from those who (for fairly obvious reasons) don't give much away, to those that will practically give you a grid reference! I think we've a few members in Canada, oodles in the US, some from elsewhere in the New World, a handful here in the UK, a few from continental Europe, and some from Australia and New Zealand. I'm not sure if we have any representation from the other two continents (and I doubt we've got any Antarctic scientists, but you never know...)

As for where I am, I can pretty much guarantee you could find out within about 10 seconds of plugging my nickname into your favourite search engine :)
And yes, I do have a habit of using the same nickname for pretty much everything I've done online in the past decade...

We have visitors from all over, including places like Kazakhstan and Iran. Members are a little rarer but we have one member who sends money to the hatbox from South Africa. India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Korea, Egypt, Kenya. A little bit of everything.

More than half of all visitors are on the east coast of the US. Half of the rest are in the midwest and a third of the new remainder is west coast. Then Canada, the Mountain states, the UK and the rest of the world (mostly Australia) split the remainder. I assume members have a similar spread.

Approximate percentages below (rounding errors make it add up to more than 100):
56% East Coast US
22% Central US
9% West Coast US
4% UK, Ireland and Western Europe
4% Canada
3% Mountain States US
2% Australia and New Zealand
1% Everywhere else

Hugs,

Portland, Oregon, soon to move to Tacoma, Washington, both in the United States. I'm one of those who'd give a grid reference, but then I'm boring (non-LGBT), as well as not being as concerned with my own safety as maybe I should be.

I Grew up in Chatham Township, so I know Morris county quite well.

I've lived in Morris county, Passaic county, and Bergen county, and down in Somerville, not sure which county that is in, we moved out of there in third grade. I was born in Plainfield.

So been around the state!

Okay, more accurately, the Bronx, but if there's a less pleasant-sounding place name I haven't heard it, nor do I wish to.

Have delightfully devious day,

I've spent some time there...

Lived for two years in the Rexburg Bubble. Until I wound up with a depression so severe that I literally slept all the time and got kicked out of school. I severely doubt they'll take me back once I finish transition... Though my bishop surprised me a little bit, well, not so much my bishop himself, but rather the office he holds.

BYU Idaho, eh?

Or were you there when it was still Ricks College?

I've got family in that area, still.

Salt Lake County, Utah, for me, and an allumna of the University of Utah.

Yep. BYU Idaho indeed.

I was even a Get Connected volunteer for two semesters.

Though, again, I doubt now that my depression is addressed, after I make it to a psychologist and start really transitioning in earnest that they'd take me back. Though they SAID they would with proof the depression was addressed, either as a letter from a psychologist, or as evidenced by me completing a term of community college with a 3.8 or greater...

No... When I go back to school, it'll likely have to be here, in Toledo. Likely in a completely different field, since the area schools all suck for computer sciences. Might consider medical research, actually. I kinda like that area, and even more so now, and our medical college is one of the best.

Going there was part of my "comfort zone", it allowed me to hide. At least until it got to be too much...

I've lived here for forty-six years and was born in that city over there many years ago. I think I've said where that is several times, but Pacifica is just south of San Francisco, Arecee

It's no secret...

That I live in Toledo, Ohio.

We're a large enough metropolis that I'm not overly concerned about anyone finding me, afaik, our house number is unlisted, so no simple search should locate me. Cell phones, are, of course, by nature, unlisted. You couldn't track a cell phone to a residence, though you could track GPS coords...

I think I've said it before,

I think I've said it before, but Columbus Ohio. Bred, born and raised here. Don't plan on going anywhere else... (You know, unless work relocates me...)

Where am I from?

Diana's posting made me realize I pronounce Toronto as "Tronna", so I must live in Ontario myself! *gasp* I'm not sure where, but Oktoberfest is BIG here. I was doing a bit of that today.

Hmm, according to the Interwebs, that means I live in the twin cities of Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Amazing, the things you can learn from Googlepedia.

Seriously, an octoberfest in america might be funny to visit.

Fortunately Oktoberfest is only a very small part of Germany.
And if you ask the people there they will tell you that it is in Bavaria, not Germany... ;)

Nice to know

Raff01's picture

That I'm not the only one in the mid-west.

Much less the Great Lake states.

I always wondered

Raff01's picture

Why the mid-west was so far east. I've always been told it's like Nebraska to Ohio.

Small bit of geographic history...

Once upon a time, when the US was young (hah! great joke there!), there were only 13 states and the "western territories". The "mid-west" came to be defined during early western expansion because it was the territory most frequently traveled through as a corridor to the "west", thus, the "mid-west".

At least that's the way I was told by my high school geography teacher who was an absolute nut-job about esoteric geographic history.
