LJI topic 7, "where I'm from": I am from the Internet, from a little city called Livejournal.

My country is the internet; my state is the mid-90s to the mid-00s, and my city is Livejournal, though I have lived in other cities for short periods of time, and I visit other cities often.

I enjoyed your take on this.

Really interesting way of framing home. I definitely saw the parallels to the real world cities, offices and homes I inhabit.

This is a very interesting take on the subject. I remember the days of AOL chat rooms and bulletin boards lol. Although I know some people who were even on Usenet...

I don't think the internet is my home the same way it is yours, but LiveJournal is definitely the place I live inside it. This was a fascinating read to see how you and the internet grew up together, so to speak.
