[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was born in one place, grew up in another state, moved to a third for college, a fourth for law school, and now live in DC.  All of those cities/states were in different regions of the country.  When I am asked "where are you from" it is 100% true that different people mean different things by the same question.  Some mean where were you born, some where did you spend most/all of your childhood, some mean where did you move to this place from.  I'm not giving my autobiography on command so I just have a quick stock answer that omits two of the four places.

I also strongly disagree with people who say you should name the suburb instead of LA as an answer.  I don't know LA suburb names.  If someone said they were from LA I would have an immediate understanding of what part of the world they mean, while if they say "La Anyplace, CA" I don't know if that's by San Diego, LA, San Francisco, Sacramento.  If they said LA to a Los Angeleno in LA then it would be strange, but if you're living in DC you can say you're from Seattle or LA or Cedar Rapids to get the point across even though you grew up one town over.  Who cares.[/quote]

It says a lot more about OP being obsessed with trying to clasify people by where they lived. [/quote]

Huh?  Are you always this defensive? DP here. Clearly socializing is not for you. If someone is pulling you. from your home involuntarily, to attend a social event, you need to reassess. Really, learn to get alond with your fellow humans. Not everything is about you.  Some people are just trying to be civil. [/quote]
