Dwelling, backwards by decades
Mar. 10th, 2011 08:33 pm2011: Valentine's Castle, Yonkers.
2001: Valentine's Castle, Yonkers.
1991: Parents' house, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
1981: Parents' house, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
1971: Parents' house, Hamilton Meadows (suburb of Columbus, Ohio)
1961: The house before I was born.
One of the people from whom I picked this odd little meme noted that this type of sampling made it look as if she had only lived two places, ever. I've lived several places more than this would indicate, but really not many--we moved a couple of times before I was 6 months old, but then there were only two houses on the outskirts of Columbus until I was 11, within a mile of each other; the family house in North Carolina for 16 years, in which my parents still live, interrupted for college (a dorm room, two college-owned apartments within a block of each other, and a boarding house); and going on 19 years here in Yonkers.
I don't like moving, and neither do my parents. My sister is much more peripatetic, and
tim_maroney moved several times within the Bay Area once he landed there. Dunno what that says about us.
