I live in the absolute middle of no where. The only thing within miles of my house is a couple other houses with no one living in them and a nudist/hippie colony.

I live in redneck-ville. The only thing to do around here is go "mudding", fishing, or bowling.
I live in Los Angeles, CA.
The street that I live on is very deserted and yet very noisy. There's never anything to do over here. Everybody in the towns I live in (I live right smack dab on a border) gets drunk every day and does stupid crap. They're either boring or they have stupid fun. I prefer good clean smart fun. Like checking out "haunted" houses.
So when my only friend in a 50-mile radius can't do anything, I sit alone on the computer, EoFFing and talking to my other friends who are very far away.
I live in a small town where there are two neighborhood busy-bodies and they're ANNOYING.
The neighbor next door is a bitter old lady who's always finding SOMETHING to complain about about our family. She called the dog warden because our dogs don't have tags, and that's because we don't have the money to get tags. So dad got fined and had to buy tags. He did. They got lost but we just don't have the money to replace.
Then, two houses down from that lady is another lady who's in her 40s somewhere with two sons by two different guys. She lives with the father of the second kid and they were engaged but she made him mad somehow and so he threw the ring in her face, but they still live together...sleep in separate bedrooms, but live together.
Anywho, the first son is my little brother matthew's age (13-14ish) and him and matthew are friends. He's an ok kid, just kind of...annoying sometimes. But he's ok. The second kid is my sister tiffany's age (7) and really bossy towards my sisters. He hits his mom if she doesn't give him his way and he's very rude and annoying.
Mom was friends with this woman until one night when she went to tell her about how her youngest son Daniel (the 7 year old) was bossing my sisters around. She said "I have enough to deal with in my life...I don't need thisfrom your kid too." the lady just kinda looked away with a "I don't care. Shut up." look on her face and my mom said "I know, no one gives a
." and so this lady went on and on about something totally unrelated...and mentioned to my mom how stupid she is for letting me go off to England. My mom's no longer friends with her because on top of all this, she uses my mom as a babysitter (Without telling her that she's babysitting. she just tells her son to come over whenever she has something to do or somewhere to be and refuses to call my mom and ask or anything), and she's a total snob to my mom too. She's all nicey-nice to my dad though and even invites him down to her house for drinks and stuff.
So yeah...couple of nights ago she was lecturing my dad for letting me go to England.
Why doesn't she just talk to me herself and tell me how stupid I am for going or whatever? She's srsly convinced Alan's gonna sell me off as a prostitute and that he sells our conversations on the internet for money or something like that. She's a crazy wacko.
Ah, the story of my life.
The 'city' I live in is only classed as a city as it has a cathedral, which I don't live too far from.
"I work in one of those humble call centres... Apparently, what we're doing at the moment is 'sprinkling our magic along the way'. It's a call centre, not Hogwarts." ~ Caroline Garlick, Ayrshire, BBC News Magazine
pretty boring part of town, i live in the "bottoms" (as they call it around here) and yeah, it's like a two road culda-sac circle kind of thing and everyone's lived here for years.
Pretty boring aside from the occasional ambulence, firetruck stop by.
now safe beneath their wisdom, and their feet;
here i will teach you truly how, to sleep.
I live in East London, until about a month ago I lived in North London. Where I grew up in North London is really quiet and sleepy though recently the crime rate there has been on the increase due to neighbouring areas which are really crap. Whetstone is full of parks and trees, seriously if you didn't know that some of our roads run down the valley between two hills there and up the others you could look at the next hill in Whetstone and think "wow, it's a forest!"
In East London where I live now, there are very few trees, a soaring crime rate and a very fractured community. I say fractured because you have the black people, the white people, the polish people and the islamic people. All are classed differently. I guess I am somewhat odd since I live in a house with a lot of Polish people in even though technically I am half Polish a lot of people see me as English. I don't like East London at all and would love to be living in Whetstone again. However needs must and I wanted to leave my Mothers asap (we just cannot get along) and I liked the thought of living with my Girlfriend. We hope to move in to a new place soon even though physically the house we live in is really rather nice. We have a big room with a stylish lounge/diner/Kitchen downstairs and a fair size bathroom. The atmosphere here however sadly is not so pleasant most of the people living here do not get along cordially I don't even understand half the arguments since they tend to have them in Polish but I can feel tension in the air a lot. This week whilst my girlfriend has been in Poland seeing her family I have actually been spoken to by someone living here 1 time, that was to "remind me, it's my turn to clean this weekend" like I could do that at 22:22!
We'd like to move in to a place in the Bond Street region since from there both of us can walk it to work without any hassle thus dropping our monthly travel fees by £110 to £0. However if we cannot find suitable lodgings in the Bond Street region I'd love to move to Whetstone and have my own place there since I feel really out of sorts here in the concrete bare maze of Canning Town East London.
London itself is a pretty good city to live in, you've got plenty of pubs, clubs, museums, theatres, cinemas, bowling alleys, ice rinks, swimming pools...you name it we've probably got it. However London is also very expensive to live in. Double bedsits will cost around £200 at the lowest end of the market and you can guarantee that one at that price will not be stylishly decorated.
my town sucks!!!! that is, if you dont like the stink of skunk and animal manure, being slowed down by tractors, being bored, and having the rep of being the school with the most teen pregos/druggies/a-holes.
Oh gods, why? ಥ_ಥ
I live in a small town, where almost everybody knows everybody. So, as you can imagine not a whole lot happens around here.
I dunno how you guys can stand to live in areas that are so homogeneous. The town I grew up in was like 30% Asian, 30% Hispanic, 20% mixed or other races and 20% white. I loved the diversity.
Until very recently, I lived in an apartment near downtown Los Angeles. It was ghetto. But I lived very very close to some great Korean and Mexican food places so that made it worthwhile. LA has it's faults, but at least there's plenty to do and see and eat around here.
I've moved back to my hometown which is a tiny tiny suburban town outside LA. It's about a mile long in radius, and I love it here. It's my home. <3
78% of my town is mexican 20% white 2% other (african american/azn)
Oh gods, why? ಥ_ಥ
I live in Wisconsin and 90% of the people around me are white. At least. It actually shocked me because when I went to visit my friend in U-Penn, most people were not white. White people were definitely in the minority! It was so diverse, it actually made me uncomfortable because it was so out of my usual experience. :o I had no idea I would feel that way, too!

I live in the fast food capital of New Zealand, pretty much. That's all this place is known for. There is absolutely nothing to do here unless you want a cheeseburger. Most people here know each other, and/or are related, but since I'm relatively new here (only live here for about 2 years) I'm considered an outsider.
There are only two relatively interesting things that have happened here recently. Someone got robbed and someone got stabbed.
