View Full Version : The Only One?
MsOrange 06-05-2005, 08:07 AM Do you feel like you are the only one in your area (state, city, town, whatever) that posts here on SO. Have you ever wondered if someone in your life that you know comes here everyday and you know them by their screen name on here, but didn't know it was really them in real life? How weird would that be to overhear them talking about it and find out that person you know in real life is the same person you know on here? Something to think about...
Mijada 06-05-2005, 08:45 AM There are a few people from Michigan that do post on here. But I don't think anyone that I actually know comes here. Unless people are lying about their name or where they live (I don't see why they would). Whenever I tell someone at work or whatever about these boards they all look at me like I'm a weirdo or something. Even my fiance, whenever he sees me at this site is always telling me to get off the computer. He's always afraid that I'm going to give away too much info about myself and have my identity stolen or something. So even though I have thought about it at times ,I don't think that anyone in my everyday life posts here.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 06-05-2005, 10:04 AM People on here live NEAR Rome...but there's no one that I know of that's actually from here.
Kay Scarpetta 06-05-2005, 11:14 AM Everyone in my city is too ghetto to post here.
barwars 06-05-2005, 11:15 AM People on here live NEAR Rome...but there's no one that I know of that's actually from here.
Ohh no, it's that you live NEAR Syracuse.

Yeah, I'm another one of those Michiganders here on the boards but I don't think any of us really live near each other. Like you, if I ever mention the boards to people they think I am crazy.
*MIBabe03* 06-05-2005, 11:18 AM I doubt anybody even knows where Arlington TX is.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 06-05-2005, 11:25 AM Ohh no, it's that you live NEAR Syracuse.
:snob:

OMG I am absolutely positive I am the only one out here in the sticks where I live who posts on here LOL! :lol:
I even have to wonder if anyone in the nearest large city (the state capital, as a matter of fact) knows of this website.
PZelda 06-05-2005, 11:37 AM I seriously think there is nobody from North Dakota that posts here. I remember somebody from South Dakota registered here last year and I see a LOT of Minnesotans here. I can't be the only North Dakotan here. pissed:
I envy the ones that live in NYC. You guys all live in the same city and could easily meet up. :lol:
Mr. Television 06-05-2005, 11:57 AM Theirs a few from PA here but I doubt if anyone lives near me.
moeee 06-05-2005, 12:15 PM I think im the only one from Illnois that comes to SO.
vienna waits 06-05-2005, 12:42 PM I think im the only one from Illnois that comes to SO.
nuhuh amyyyy (AllIWantIsYourClutch)
PZelda 06-05-2005, 12:54 PM I think im the only one from Illnois that comes to SO.
Nope, there are a LOT of IL people here. I've seen a lot from the Chicago area. I believe Raven Symone (or whatever the name was) is from IL as well.
vienna waits 06-05-2005, 01:02 PM I can think of two people from Indiana. Cravinforcarrie and that jayman guy who used to post on the FOL board.
¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 06-05-2005, 01:25 PM The only other person from Maine [that I know of] is Chad. Hes way up there though. IN FACT I was working on Thursday and someone said they were from Woodland and totally made me think of Chad.
Cactus Jack 06-05-2005, 02:36 PM The only other person from Maine [that I know of] is Chad. Hes way up there though. IN FACT I was working on Thursday and someone said they were from Woodland and totally made me think of Chad.

Cactus Jack 06-05-2005, 02:37 PM I doubt anybody even knows where Arlington TX is.

rusyd 06-05-2005, 03:14 PM I think im the only one from Illnois that comes to SO.
Nope. I am from Chicago.
Cactus Jack 06-05-2005, 04:06 PM Home of The Cowboys. :D
Yup :D
*MIBabe03* 06-05-2005, 04:36 PM Yup :D
For now you guys have the Cowboys, but as of the last election Arlington is getting them. :)
Stormtracker TF 06-05-2005, 04:50 PM I know quite a few people from my area who post here, but I don't personally know any of them. Besides my sister who posts here, of course.
Kazza 06-05-2005, 04:51 PM I doubt anybody even knows where Arlington TX is.
I know where The Parks Mall is :D I live 45 minutes away.

Haha...I met a Mijada in a Pizza hut in a suburb of Detroit around Christmas and I thought of the Mijada from here.
PZelda 06-05-2005, 04:58 PM I know quite a few people from my area who post here, but I don't personally know any of them. Besides my sister who posts here, of course.
*SMACK* You forgot your brother, Beaverfan! pissed: What kind of brother are you?! :p
;)
*MIBabe03* 06-05-2005, 05:15 PM I know where The Parks Mall is :D I live 45 minutes away.
:wave: I go there almost every weekend.
MariposaLKB 06-05-2005, 07:58 PM I'll take a shot--anyone from Pickaway, Ross, or southern Franklin county in Ohio?
Rhiannon 06-05-2005, 08:43 PM well, unless someone is lying, I'm the only one from NC
Penny Lane 06-05-2005, 08:51 PM As far as I know nobody in my area (Flint, Michigan....Genesee County) posts here or has ever admitted it. But there are several people here who have posted not too far away from me(Detroit, Port Huron, Grand Rapids). I consider this my own personal space. :lol: So if anyone posts here that I may know I would consider it an invasion of my privacy. :lol: I'm funny that way............. :crazy:
Penny Lane 06-05-2005, 08:56 PM Haha...I met a Mijada in a Pizza hut in a suburb of Detroit around Christmas and I thought of the Mijada from here.
That's quite a coincidence! Anyway, all I have to say is Go Pistons! :clap: :rock: :banana: :cheer: Woo Hoo! :woohoo:

I know where Flint is. I live in Arlington TX, but I was born in Muskegon MI. I don't think many people know where that is.
Penny Lane 06-05-2005, 09:04 PM I know where Flint is. I live in Arlington TX, but I was born in Muskegon MI. I don't think many people know where that is.
My husband's dad was born and raised in Walkerville near Muskegon. I think it's kind of a ghost town now.
I know where it is but I have never been there(it's on the west side of the state) :wave:

Yep, right along Lake MI.
dawsongirl 06-05-2005, 09:47 PM :p No way.
And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want 99.9% of the people around here to come here anyway.
PZelda 06-05-2005, 09:51 PM :p No way.
And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want 99.9% of the people around here to come here anyway.
Wasn't Nate from your state too? :grrbald:
dawsongirl 06-05-2005, 09:53 PM Wasn't Nate from your state too? :grrbald:
Oops...yeah. How could I forget Nate?? :lol:
But so far I think he's the only one.
MsOrange 06-05-2005, 10:34 PM any South Carolina natives around?
Number 9 Dream 06-05-2005, 10:38 PM A few people on here are from Long Island, I think...
Stormtracker TF 06-05-2005, 11:45 PM *SMACK* You forgot your brother, Beaverfan! pissed: What kind of brother are you?! :p
;)
He still posts here? I thought he stopped like a year ago. LOL
Stormtracker TF 06-05-2005, 11:45 PM That's quite a coincidence! Anyway, all I have to say is Go Pistons! :clap: :rock: :banana: :cheer: Woo Hoo! :woohoo:
Yep. :D
Brent88 06-05-2005, 11:55 PM I doubt anybody even knows where Arlington TX is.
I do... but I'm a geography freak. :p
Rhiannon 06-06-2005, 09:52 AM any South Carolina natives around?
close enough..I live in NC
PZelda 06-06-2005, 11:16 AM He still posts here? I thought he stopped like a year ago. LOL
I'm not sure. :lol: Still, he's registered here, so that counts for something. ;)
JoJoJoJoJoJoJoJoJo 06-06-2005, 11:50 AM any South Carolina natives around?

swedeace 06-06-2005, 01:15 PM I'm sure I am the ONLY New Mexican....right? *looks around*
Mijada 06-06-2005, 03:52 PM Haha...I met a Mijada in a Pizza hut in a suburb of Detroit around Christmas and I thought of the Mijada from here.
Mijada was their real name? I thought I made it up :lol:
TheGreatPretender 06-06-2005, 04:21 PM So far i havent seen any regular posters from Connecticut.
TripperFan 06-06-2005, 04:24 PM I the The Modfather is the closest to me - about a 15 minute drive to the east.
robyrob 06-06-2005, 10:11 PM well, besides Robyn, there is TVAdam and James in Dayton, and Angela (Sassette) isn't too far away (somewhere outside of Columbus I think)
MsOrange 06-06-2005, 10:23 PM I live in SC

Courtnee 06-07-2005, 03:48 PM yes
MaydayMalonesGirl 06-07-2005, 04:33 PM There's other people from Jersey here, but I don't know exact towns or anything...
Stormtracker TF 06-09-2005, 01:08 AM Mijada was their real name? I thought I made it up :lol:
I thought it was made up too. Maybe it was just a nickname or something.
vegan_matt 09-02-2006, 04:44 AM anyone here from Columbia, Maryland? (located about 20 minutes southwest of Baltimore City)
Brad Russ 09-02-2006, 05:16 AM I hardly ever see anyone from Oregon posting here. I think one of the only regular posters from Oregon was Lacyintheskywithdiamonds, but I never see her posting anymore.
MsOrange 09-02-2006, 12:26 PM i don't even remember making this thread
PZelda 09-02-2006, 01:11 PM what part?
There's one member I used to talk to regularly- um, what was his name on here... I forgot... Oh yeah! It was I Love Carol Burnett!, and he's from Gaffney, SC. Anywhere near ya?
Kristen 09-02-2006, 07:59 PM I doubt I'm the only poster here from my state (NY), but I'm prob. the only one from this area. It would be so cool if somebody I knew was a member here, and I just didn't know it! lol
Chad22 09-02-2006, 08:04 PM I think I'm the only person in Woodland, Maine that even OWNS a computer.
EmoJoe 09-02-2006, 08:57 PM i dont think anyone here is from my town. but there are a lot of people from NY.
but one time me and Lauren (MaydayMalonesGirl) were on vacation at pretty much the same place at the same time and i thought i saw her.
Cactus Jack 09-02-2006, 09:52 PM Well one person here lives in Dallas, Briennas21. LOL I wonder if Ive seen her before :lol:
MsOrange 09-02-2006, 10:13 PM There's one member I used to talk to regularly- um, what was his name on here... I forgot... Oh yeah! It was I Love Carol Burnett!, and he's from Gaffney, SC. Anywhere near ya?
like an hour or two from here.... cool.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 09-02-2006, 10:18 PM I doubt I'm the only poster here from my state (NY), but I'm prob. the only one from this area. It would be so cool if somebody I knew was a member here, and I just didn't know it! lol
OMGah, what part of NY?
Karen* 09-02-2006, 11:03 PM There was one guy from San Francisco who posted only occassionally on the Full House board. Chipsandsoda was his user name, I think.
TheGreatPretender 09-03-2006, 12:23 AM No one is even from Connecticut here.
Kristen 09-03-2006, 12:37 AM OMGah, what part of NY?
Not the city (people always assume that), but like 20 miles north of Manhattan.
