Nebraska? I’ve never even been to the midwest! All I can think of for Nebraska is cold and flat and … corn. Is there anything else? ---

Georgia??? Ugh, I don’t think so…I hate humidity, and from what I’ve seen of other southern states, I don’t like the mentality of those states at all. Um yeah, I’m with Siam Sam, I’m an Alaskan through and through, even if I no longer live there. It’ll always be home. ---

Colorado. I live in MN and like it just fine here most of the year. The two states seem to have a lot more in common than I would have thought. ---

Problems in line 1: “extroverted, enthusiastic”. Why the heck are those two together? I’m an enthusiastic introvert. I’m even enthusiastic about being an introvert! Anyway, apparently I belong in New Mexico. I’m sure there is a joke in there somewhere, but it’s too early in the morning to go finding it… ---

I agree that question one was problematic. I got North Carolina. I do have some family there and I think it’s a beautiful state. I honestly don’t know if I could handle the political climate there or not. ---

Colorado. Never been there, looks nice, though. I’m living in Maine right now and love it completely. ---

Colorado here. Which is odd, as I am born and raised in Connecticut, and I fit in here like an oyster in its shell. ---

> [@Palo\_Verde](#): > > Nebraska? I’ve never even been to the midwest! All I can think of for Nebraska is cold and flat and … corn. Is there anything else? Nebraska brought us Becky from Full House and Penny from Big Bang Theory. Isn’t that enough? ETA I can’t believe Penny was an afterthought but I grew up watching Full House. ---

Washington, which is a place I’ve long wanted to visit and possibly live. Born and raised in New Jersey. ---

Oregon. Oregon? Last time I tried going to Oregon we broke an axle and half of us died of [dysentery](http://6dollarshirts.com/t-shirts/You-Have-Died-of-Dysentery-p-11195.html). ---

I live in Texas but the test says I’d be a better fit in California. Can’t say I’m terribly surprised. I don’t hate living here because there are plenty of like minded people but this may explain why I’ve been yearning to move so much lately. ---

New Mexico for me too. I have never been there so I can’t say. It looks nice enough though. ---

And one eagle sitting on a fencepost along the interstate, probably looking for good roadkill. [The best eagle pictures off Adak my friend Chris shot at the dump where they were surfing for garbage.] Washington for me. Seattle my freaking ass … I hate the supercilious coffee culture and poseur hip wannabes.
