Yeah, I suppose so. Your Camden sounds pretty fun, though. Of course I'm also in that 'as long as it's not here, it's great' state of mind right now. But then again over here, it seems like everything's pretty much the same. But I've grown to... well, not love it, but accept it, I guess. :D
Yeah, it really is. Especially when people can't even care for their cities, or help to keep them clean and nice. There's this one city, probably one of the poorest in the US or something, Camden NJ. You might have heard of it, but I live about an hour away, and I don't even have to be told when I'm there. It's so run down and shabby, it looks like a ghost town. Trees are actually growing through some of the buildings, and there's spray paint stories tall on some of the buildings. It's a pity to see so much land wasted like that.
oh, well nice to see i'm not alone on that... =] sorry it takes me so long to comment back i keep forgetting to come online..
I'm okay too thanks! **Kerrang! tour in which Madina Lake is going to soon!!! (27th january...) and im goingg** yay! ... x]
Haha. Big houses. Well, I guess there are a bunch of big houses. But there's probably more town houses and apartment buildings. But since they don't take up as much space, it doesn't seem that way. But I live in two town houses - one with mom, and one with dad. Most of my friends live in duplexes, or apartment buildings, or townhouses like me. It's not too different. And isn't it ironic how New York is also a place Americans crave to go? Haha.
heyaa, I have forgotten whether I commented back.. so I will now :P anyway... yeah you seem quite confident, i wish i was... I don't think I have the guts to express my opinions xD and no one listens... [no one who doesn't already know them!! hehe
Wow. Haha, never heard that one. Over here it's called the land of fast food and the fat and short people who buy it. But with the UK, everybody thinks it's such a romantic place, and that over there you guys are more proper and elegant, I suppose. And I have family over there too, who my mom really wants me to meet.
Haha. I've never heard it put like that before. I guess it should be expected, though, seeing as how everyone over here raves about the UK. Right now, the US isn't all that great either though. Our jobs are going down the tubes since Bush came to office, and he spend however many millions or billions of dollars on god knows what... sorry for the rant. It kinda gets to me sometimes. But I think I would still like to at least visit Britain, to see for myself. And to meet half my family... Haha.
Here in The United States we have a term known as 'urban sprawl' where a city or city sprawls out at a frightening pace turning the once green hills and forests into roads and houses.
I love nature, for me there's nothing better than to go outside and go for a walk or a bike ride, even if I have no destination, just seeing all the green is enough for me or to lay on my back in the park by my house and stare up at the sky and daydream.
I live in the same area that I was born in and I can barely recognize the town I live in because it's lost much of it's rural feel. There was an old forest by a creek that my friends and I would play at and now that's all gone, the creek itself is a 'buffer zone' but the area above is all houses.
And they made a nice pretty bridge across the river for people to walk across. It's like they're making nature a monument to the old world and aren't satisfied til every tree is felled, til every grassland is paved.
It's disgusting, I met a man walking his dog and I told him about how I remember that area and he said, "Well people have to grow." and I REALLY wanted to reply, "Maybe they should grow up while they're growing."
I'll have to go to Scotland now that you mention paganism being popular there and Iceland's official religion is paganism.
Yes, we pagan are very friendly, we just want what everyone else wants which is to live in peace and tend to the animals and land.
If she doesn't like it, too bad.. *shrugs*
