I hope Cotton Eye Joe is sufficiently stuck in all your heads now.

Where were you born? Where are you now?

I was born in Provo, Utah and am now in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

I've been to Laramie, Wyoming, where Cotton Eye Joe is a non ironic anthem.

I am from Glass House Mountains, Queensland, Australia, and now live in Ashgrove, Queensland, Australia. Been to a few places in between.

omg WHY? There's a Cotton Eyed Joe country club/bar in Chattanooga, TN - not far from my hometown (where Maci from Teen Mom is from).. It's super redneck.

I'm from Etowah, Tennessee - about halfway between Knoxville & Chattanooga. I'm the only person in my immediate family who was actually born there. My parents & siblings are from South Point, Ohio (though my dad was born in NE Kentucky).

I've moved around a lot, but I'm in Clarksville, TN now. And though I'm not from Nashville, per se, I call it my hometown. There's no reason for me to go back to where I'm from, nor do I care to for any reason. I have no attachments left.

Hopefully I'll get to move back to Antioch (my hood) within a couple of years.

I unironically love Cotton Eye Joe.

I was born in Coupeville, Washington, which is a little town on a little island. I only lived there until I was about one year old and then we moved north of Seattle (Lynnwood/Bothell area) and lived there for about nine years.

Then we moved to Montana. We spent one unhappy year in Helena and then ever since then I've lived in Bozeman or one of its suburbs. (Yes we've got those.) I did recently spend one year back on Whidbey Island, where I was born, but despite the gorgeous views it really did nothing for me at all. Bozeman is home and I don't want to leave.

I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Miraculously escaping with my kneecaps intact, I'm now in Bozeman, Montana, with the above poster. It's just about the best place I've ever been, though I love Belfast, Newport RI, and NYC. My actual home is currently Leicester in England which isn't a terrible place, but we're planning on making Bozeman my forever home in the next couple of years.

I was born in Rutherglen, Scotland - however, I lived in East Kilbride, Scotland for the majority of my life, including right now. There were a few years of escapism to Glasgow, Scotland - but I'm back home now. :3

I have lived primarily in South Lankarshire for most of life, which is just outside of Glasgow. I grew up in a town called Uddingston, but I now live in East Kilbride with Shauna.

I like it here, only downside is it's fairly out the way, so it's hard to get anywhere. Now I can drive though I can take country roads, to take me home, to the place, I belong.

I was born in Great Yarmouth, England. Then moved to Plymouth, England for a few years. Then back to Great Yarmouth and then to London where I lived for most of my life up until 5 years ago when I moved to Cork, Ireland. Hopefully another big move will be happening within the next 12 months!

Where are you moving to? Will you be within road trip distance?

I was born in Arlington, Texas.
I live in Arlington, Texas.

I was not always here! I spent years on the east coast - Newport News, VA & Arlington VA & the greater DC area. Everything is so much cheaper here though. And though I have not lived on the west coast for any substantial length of time, I have spent months in Clovis, CA, and some time in Seattle, WA as well.

Born in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada (or thereabouts)*. Living since 2005 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

*My actual hometown is a small, used to be unmarked in Google, community outside of Campbellton. The hospital where I was born, though no longer existing, was in Campbellton. And I did all my schooling up to the end of secondary there.
