Where do you call "home?"
 

This has the potential to be a terribly boring thread, but no one would be surprised at me.

Where do you call "home?" This could be where you were born, or where you live now, or the one place that you identify with "home."

But if you click your heels three times, where do you picture as "home?"


For me, it is not the town I was where born, nor the town in which I currently live. It is the town where I grew up, Auburn, Alabama.

I call my true home whenever I'm either with Galaxygirl and her family or we are with my family, (our roots)... everywhere else is just a living space.

Well, I lived in the same house in Great Neck, NY from birth to age 20 (except for a brief college stint in Buffalo). I still go back to visit there every other month or so. I've always considered that "home". I guess I was pretty lucky to have that kind of one stable place to live while growing up, instead of having to move a few times during childhood. Even though I'm married with a kid and another on the way, we have lived in 2 apartments since we've been together and neither feels very much like a home. I'd love to buy a house, and put down roots, but I have about 12 years to go in the Navy, so it might be a while before I have anything resembling what I had as a kid.

Home for me is the city that I live in. I've been born and spent most of my live here and, for some time now, I have this magical relationship with the place, God knows why. When it all comes down to the facts, it's an awful city - it's the capital of my country, it's big, dirty and smelly, yet I find places here that feel right, not to mention that they are somehow tied to various memories form different stages of my live.

Home for me is where my family is. Right now that's upstate New York. Hopefully in the near future I'll start my own family and create another place call home.

yeah... what he said....

my home is my room, i love this place

I have moved around all my life, I call home where my bed is and food. So that could be considered the dorm or where my parents live.

Although I live in Calgary now, home for me always will be the Okanagan Valley in BC.....*sigh.....I miss Vernon. :(

back in india

Born and raised in mid-Michigan, and have lived in various places around here.

I have traveled to nearly every part of Michigan and will always consider it home.

Yeah the winters suck, we only have two seasons: winter and construction, and well, there is the Lions and Tigers to deal with, but I still love it here.

The good things about Michigan: You can show people where you live by pointing to your hand, we can "leave the country" for a day by going to Canada, and the best part...

I have never lived anywhere than where I was born. Although someday I would love to move. But home would have to be where I was born and where I currently reside right now in Illinois.

Right here, in Columbiana, Ohio.

I have no home.

i have a great house. i love my family. it is comfortable. but it is not home.

i have to say I really don't have a home.. I was born in WA, grew up in TN, and most of my family lives in Oregon (or has plans to move back)..

that is all pretty wacky... so to me, currently I have no home.. which is why I hope for a job that will let me either goto Europe for a bit, or Canada.. Let me see and live in other parts of the world.. experience a little more, before I finally decide where exactly my home will be.

I've always called the house I grew up in 'home'. I lived with my dad briefly after my parents divorced, but I eventually moved back here to my mom's house... well, the guest house technically

Born: Henderson, Kentucky
Permanent Address: Newburgh, Indiana
School Address: West Lafayette, Indiana

Henderson is one of those good ole boys network types of towns. You are either in the network, or outcast. As soon as you move to Indiana you are outcast.

Newburgh is great.

West Lafayette is definitely the mullet capital of the world.

on the coast of Cali, so not where I live today.

Born and raised in central Illinois--even raise two familys
there, but deep south Texas (Weslaco) is now my home...

Phoenix, Arizona. I moved here three years ago and am loving it.

It does have a tendancy to get a little warm here, but as long as my a/c works, I'm happy.

butt fucking egypt....... (terrebonne oregon)

Luboock, Texas is my home. I was born elsewhere but grew up here. When I was in the Navy it was the place I traveled tofor vacation. and now that I am out of the service I moved back to go to school.

27 dunstan road golders green

Here in Jacksonville, Tx where I was born, raised, and have lived for almost 32 years, except for 6 months when I was a 6mo. baby and we lived in Galveston.
I really can't imagine living elsewhere. :)

Deniliquin, NSW is where i was born and where i went to high school... it'll always be home to me

Home for me is away from my immediate family. Right now, its school, Comfortable surroundings, and good friends.

This will be my home as well.:)

my home wil always be burnaby, bc, canada. no matter where i happen to live at the time...its always good to go home.

I call my dorm room home because i spend all my time there that and walmart

Home is wherever my wife is. No matter where that might be.

Sorry, I know how facetious that sounds, but I mean it. WHen I was younger, home was my parents' house. When I got a little older, home was York, the city where I lived. Now I've fallen in love and got married, home is with the woman I love most in the world.

Home is where my wife and kids are...

Home is where lurkette and I live right now--currently a lovely three-bedroom house in North Carolina.

When my parents sold and moved out of the house I grew up in, I definitely was confronted with some issues about what I call "home". THAT was home! The countertop I ran my head into when I was six! The room I decorated! The lawn I mowed and garden I weeded! The workshop in the garage where I built my cub scout pinewood derby cars! The basement where my garage band practiced! The bushes where I hid cigarette butts when I was 16!

Then I got over it. :D

I have yet to find a place I would like to call home.

I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado but not having been too many places I can't say that I would only be able to feel at home here. Maybe one day I'll travel the world and end up in some small town that makes happy but until that happens I'm keeping my options open.

I was born in Manhatten, lived in Texas, Ohio, Nebraska, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York State, and Florida.

I consider Southern New England home.

Born in Pittsburgh, live just outside Washington, DC. I'd call my current residence "home"

Born, Bred, and Raised in Northern VA. So it is home to me. I have a harder time differentiating between my home and my parents home (about 20 minutes away). Its strange because sometimes I say, "I'm going home" meaning my mom's and dad's place and my sister and girlfriend understand what I mean. And sometimes I say "I'm going home" meaning my place and my sister and girlfriend understand what I mean. Weird huh? Its like how the smurfs use smurf.
Smurf you later.

suburb of Minneapolis, MN....honestly it's not cold all the time!

"Home is where your heart is" for me it would be in the arms of my love

Australia . . . . haven't found my way out yet . . .

Sweden. I've lived most of my life here.
I'm born in Australia, and of Finnish origin, but neither of those places feel like home.

I have a 107 acres of farmland out in Braymer, Missouri that I call home even though I probably wont move back there till I get old and retire. I went there in the summers as a kid and had more fun with an atv, rifle and dog than I have with all these electronics and expensive toys.

home is where i can feel comfortable enough to sleep anywhere inside

Omaha, Ne--The Cornhusker State

Simi Valley. Current residence. Not the most exciting town but it's horribly peaceful unlike the valley. And for the most part, people are great out here... except for the hicks and such of course.

Home is where my heart and my ps2/computer is....

I've lived all over the place (military family) so there isn't really a place I look back to and call "home". Home is wherever my bed happens to be at a given point in time.

Western Massachusetts

Generally, for me, "home" is whereever I sleep that night. I mean, provided it's in some sort of sheltered area. After all, a beach isn't really "home".

<a href="http://www.yahoo.com>My Home</a>

Born if Lawrence, Kansas. Spent 4 years, 7-11 approx, growing up in Misawa AFB, Japan.

Never really considered a place my "Home" home. But if any, Japan. Great place to live!

"Home" is where I live. Where my stuff is. Where I park my truck most nights.

I call my home the place where I live. The house im living in now, my father built a few years back so I like to call that home :). The old house I use to live in was also known as home at the time, but now it is "Old House" or "Old Home"

Just my $0.02

Ireland, I cant wait to go back to my birth place ;)

chicago

Home is where I go to sleep and wake up.

That's Mrs. Giant Hamburger asking me to come out of my "home."

I refused.

South Adams Street

anyone who knows me well enough knows I have always called the entire universe, "home"

that's why I never die

Some part of my psyche will always relate to San Diego as "home" and I have a deep sense of that when I visit there these days. A deep sigh when I breathe the air there - it stirs something in me that's been ingrained some I was born.

But... Pasadena, where I live now, has felt like Home for a long time now. When I first spent any length of time here, it just felt like home instantly and still does. I'm just comfortable here and I actively appreciate it on a regular basis. Take a deep breath, look around and think, "yeahhhhhhhh... this is the place."

Vancouver, BC, could be such a place for me if I ever ended up there. It has definitely had that feel the three or four times I've been there. Whomever said they grew up in Burnaby, I'm jealous of you. =) I had the best meal of my life at the 10th St. Bistro in Burnaby... cool town.

Torrance California. I was born and raised there.

I live in San Diego now, but it's not the same.

I, too, am in San Diego. Home is where I'm living at that time.

where i live now

Well spoken, sirrah!

^.^(tm)

Home, for me, is a residence in which I may shut everything and everyone out. A place where I can go and tell everyone "You are not welcome here. I will be out sometime in the near future." This is actually how I define my friends - friends, to me, are people I can tolerate having in my home for more than an hour at a time. All others are simply acquaintances. I'm waiting to see just how long I can have my current love incarnate around before I start itching to get her out.

Right here in front of this computer screen.

i'm with wrold's king... i've lived here in the phoenix area all my life, but i'm not comfortable enough here to call it home... my whole family and some of my friends are here, but it's just not that much to me...

i know with a great deal of certainty that i'll be moving to virginia in the winter, but i doubt i'll find home there either... i'm just not sure where i want to settle down yet... i don't think i've seen enough of the world and know myself well enough to know where i want to be quite yet.

I've called 'home' a small town outside Phoenix Arizona , it was where I was born, for whom I work for now, and where I plan to stay unless something irresistable comes along in the future. Most of my family also lives here and to some extent it's nice having family close by.

Portland, Oregon is my home but in the past two years I've lived in Houston, Indy (indiana sucks completely), LA and now I live in south Orange County near Irvine.


I actually like orange county, I've met quite a few nice folks here and a ton of hot girls but Portland is home. Its the best city on the west coast.

columbia Missouri- smack dab in the middle of the U.S.A. but reasonably close to a variety of cool places and things- and comfortable enough to tolerate

I was born and raised in SouthWestern Pennsylvania.

I now reside in Omaha, Nebraska.

I <b>want</b> to live in Hew Hampshire.

So, "home" is a tough one.

my mommy and daddy's is home

Home is where I hang my heart.....

But for now I live in KCMO... aka Kansas Fukkin City

i was born on Norfolk Island.
but i guess right now i call sunny Sydney home.
and i think its a pretty damn fine place to call home.

My parents crib is my home as well :D

Home, for now, is right here in the west side of Cincinnati. I have lived almost all of my life here.
When I do get married and start a family, then wherever I may settle down will become home.

Dublin, Ireland.

Even though I've been living in Sydney, Australia, for a few years, I'll always want to go back to "the Auld Country"...

I made my wife promise she'd bury me in Ireland...

hahah


Mr Mephisto

North East Kansas, lived there from second through 12th grade. It's where my mom and sister live so that's what makes it home

Northern Minnesota, near a town so small the city limit signs were on the same post.
Go back to visit whenever I can, brings back such good memories.

I've lived in South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Washington, Hawaii, Korea, and on a tiny island in the middle of the pacific called Johnston Atoll but I've always returned to the Clleveland area... Must be a masochist

I currently live just outside of Atlanta, Georgia.. been here 10 years. I've also lived in Maine and Florida.

No matter where I move, this will always be my home. I feel pretty sheltered since I've lived here all my life, but all my fondest memories stem from the city by the bay, and it's where my heart will stay, even if I end up far away.

Argh, that ended up rhyming more than I intended. Worst. Poetry. Ever.

I'm moving right now.. so I don't really have a "home"
