I've never seen it snowing, ever, in my life. ;_;

Probably because I've been burning up in southern California all my life, but at least it doesn't get as cold. I'm very afraid of what global warming will do, though. ._.

Central Georgia doesn't get snow as much either. The last time it snowed here was in 2001. I wish it snowed here more often though.

Since it didn't snow that often when I lived in Virginia, we took trips to New York when they were getting snow. I called them blizzard trips. Always heading up north when it was beat down with snow. The few times I experienced white outs. Now that I that I live in Florida, where it'll never snow really, it's harder to go up to New York. I hate gas prices these days... And can't fly, sister can't get on a plane for her life. XD Oh well, I always loved a nice trip up to New York in the winter for snow. :D Last time I saw snow last year, which was a good amount of time before I moved to Florida.

Blizzard trips sound really fun. We never had the money to be able to do that sort of thing when I was younger, not to mention that Texas was quite a bit further to New York than Virginia. XD; As much as I like traveling, those really long trips tend to get tiring after a while, I used to have to take so many cross-country trips in small vehicles, I did like seeing the sights, but after a while you get bored of it. These days though, I would probably welcome something like that, I've been stuck in the same place for 4 years and outside of short trips, I don't really get to go anywhere.

North Carolina obviously never sees snow. o.o" My NC school delayed schooltime for two hours when they saw an inch of snow. I used to still have to go to school in a foot of snow at regular time. I was happy at my school, but I was all angry at the same time. XD

That reminds me of Texas a lot. XD When they get like, half an inch of snow, they'll shut everything down and everyone will start going crazy. I lived in Denver when I was 1 and 2, it snowed a lot there, but I don't remember any of that since I was so freaking young. I'm kinda glad that I don't live in a place like that anymore, as much as I like the cold, I don't think I could stand a place like that. XD

Well that's a summary of the north and south for you. ;D

I would really prefer the north though. It gets too hot in NC, and its in a drought. I miss the one foot of snow... Although we chose a good time to move, since the place I moved from had a big snowstorm that piled snow up to rooftops and an earthquake right after we moved. :P

Heh, I think I'm going to move to Texas. That would mean less school days. XD

The north would be a much better place, at least I think so anyway. Despite living in the south for most of my life, I can't really say that I'm particularly fond of living here, especially not in North Carolina, I hate it here. I'd love to live in a city like Seattle and...actually, that's one of the few cities I'd want to live in and the only one that I can think of right now. XD I wouldn't mind moving back to Texas too much, that probably has more to do with nostalgia though.

I prefer to live in the south really. Not talking about "southern" but the location. I could live in Florida all my life really. I love the warm weather. I disliked VA. >>; I lived in North Carolina for a year, I was young, but I liked the space it had. XD; However, I hated the schools. I wouldn't mind New York either. Though... Yeah, I think I've found my perfect spot on earth. It would take a lot to get me to move out of Florida.

Cali is rather fun I s'pose. I don't plan on staying here, but if I do I'm gonna move to Frisco. I wouldn't mind living in New York either. But I'd still much rather prefer to be North, in Canada to be exact :P

I joke about that a lot with my brother, but I actually think it would he a pretty interesting place to live. XD I want to live either somewhere in the northern part of this country or just a totally different country.

South Carolina is alright, I guess. There's no real big cities, which is kind of a downer for me. But at least Atlanta and Charlotte aren't too far away. The temperature is alright for the most part, I wouldn't mind if it was a few degrees colder though XD;

The United States in general... I don't really care for :/ I've been asked many times why, and I can't really think of an answer that everybody would find pleasing, so don't ask why XD

My answer as to why Im not entirely fond of the U.S. isn't exactly pleasing to everyone, but is there even such an answer that is pleasing to all? Does such a thing exist? I hate pffending people, but my opinion is my opinion and according to this country I have freedom of speech :P

When I was down in Mexico, I felt 100% safe walking around in these somewhat rundown streets and everything. It surprised me, really. When we got home to Los Angeles, I was actually nervous walking around again. So..I found it odd that Mexico felt safer than America. :/

Also, there are men walking around with machine guns in Mexico. We watched a guy holding one walk past the little shop we were eating at and it didn't even bother me. XDD

Yeah, probably true XD; The times I've actually gone into depth about why I don't care for it I get told "Those aren't valid reasons! >:(", so I've just stopped doing it XD

EDIT: Yeah, it was like that for me when I was in Mexico too (except for the merchants who kept pestering me to buy stuff >>). It felt a lot safer then the US does; which is kind of scary, since the US is supposed to be really safe and all :/

WTF. XD If you ever go to Mexico City, you'll see how bad the crime rate is there and realize how much better the U.S. is in that aspect.

I don't really dislike the U.S., it's a great country, sure it's got problems, but what country doesn't? About the gas prices, they actually pay up to three times as much for what they've got, I think the reason it's not as big of an issue over in other countries is because public transit is a lot easier to find in other countries, or so I've heard. But yeah, I actually think Canada would be a pretty cool place to live. XD

It seems like they take it so personally, huh? Thats a lil' to much patriotism for my taste :P
I just don't like how we seem to meddle in the affairs of other countries. :/
