What is it like where you live?

[X_cinderella_X]

Another Australian!

I live down the bottom of Australia, in Victoria.

I live about an hour and a half out of melbourne (the nearest mac store).

This is a picture of the favourite thing about where i live-

That's Bells Beach, home of brands like quiksilver, ripcurl and billabong etc. So many surfers and such a relaxed, easy going culture in Torquay.

I really love it here because I have the beachy lifestyle, whilst still being close to this-

I truly love where i live.

I live on the coast of North Carolina, in a very small town. I swear I can't go anywhere without running into people I know - and most of the time it's people I really don't care to see. I absolutely hate it here. This is a very touristy town during the summer - which means lots of traffic leading to the beach. They tore down pretty much anything fun we had to do here (putt-putt golf, water-parks, skating rink, bowling alley) to build more effing condominiums! They are constantly building more shopping centers though, but it's full of the same crap. Our Super Wal-Mart is our mall. The closest mall is about 50 minutes away, and it is ridiculously small with hardly any good stores.
The closest MAC counter is 2 HOURS away, and a store is at least a good 5 hours. The closest Ulta is 2 hours (in the opposite direction from MAC), and closest Sephora is 3 hours away. Closest CCO is 2 1/2 hours away. It's a make-up addicts WORST nightmare!
There is no opportunity for jobs around here - because there aren't any corporatations or real companies to work for. So unless you're a doctor or something - you can't make shit for money.

Honestly - the only reason I am still here is because my boyfriend is here. I have lived here 6 years (been with him for a little over 3 of those years). My parents are originally from here, so I have been coming here at least to visit all my life. It BLOWS.

I grew up in Raleigh (the capital) and I would LOVE to move back! Even though I'd have to deal with rush-hour traffic and major highways - at least there would be TONS of stuff to do, and lots of job opportunity! Unfortunately moving just isn't in the cards right now.

Everyone who lives somewhere cool - I am TOTALLY jealous!

^^Yay for us N.C. girls. I miss N.C. terribly.

well i live somewhere unannexed between the sweet lil town of red oak and the piece of shit town glenn heights in north texas

i've lived in the same exact place my whole life
red oak is your typical suburbia with it's cute lil family owned shops and super enthusiasm for the high school football team (this actually kind of recent because last year was the first time in like 15 years since the foot ball team won more than like 3 games in a season) we have the busiest whataburger in texas
there are areas of middle and upper middle class
and there are areas of lower middle class and just poor
a lot of drugs!!! meth...you know the whole red neck, blue collar tweaker stereotype is very prevalent and i swear atleast 70% smoke weed
our population is outgrowing our schools and we could really use a target and some decent dining...every "good" place to eat is like a 15min drive away even though it's like 5 miles up the road
it takes 25min to an hour to get to a mall but one of them has a PRO store so woohoo for that
i take that back, we have a out door mall thing like 10 mins away and there's an ulta and the dillards has a mac counter

i really wouldn't dislike the place so much if people here weren't so fake and it didn't take 30min to get to anything interesting

Hey Another Canadian

I live in montreal. Im 20 min away from downtown Montreal by car. I live in a really quiet neighborhood. I dont really like it cause its boring. The closest MAc is downtown. And the closest Sephora is super far. IMO it should be downtown^^. I love Montreal even if its really cold right now like 2 celcius.

It snowed this morning!!! Anywyas that is about all

BUT! I have to say I can't imagine myself living anywhere else. Everywhere you go there are beautiful sky-high palm trees, the sparkling warm beach is right around the corner from where I live, I have access to most stores available across the country, and if I decide to wake up at 3am to do something -- you bet there is something open in South Beach. I've learned to look at Miami's imperfections as its perks. Seriously, sometimes it gives us Miamians a reason to sit back and laugh. You can't help but secretly love it. It's definitely a love/hate relationship for me!

LOL...that was a pretty accurate description, I must say!

I was born and raised here, and as many little annoyances Miami/south FL has (im not on south beach or anything, im up closer to Ft Lauderdale but I've lived in Miami also) its still an awesome place to live.. our own little paradise I guess. I do not feel at home if I'm not surrounded by palm trees! haha

I live on the UBC campus in Vancouver, BC. It's so beautiful, I love it. I have probably the best view on campus. These were all taken from my window.

















I love Vancouver. I grew up in a very small (think 4.5 thousand) town in Alberta, and it's so cool to be a in big city, where I can do whatever the hell I want. I also love the feel Vancouver has, because it's really a few small to mid-sized cities smushed together.

Ok...ready for this guys?? I live in a Northern community is Alberta that has about 5000 people...the closest MAC counter is....8 hours away!!! Small town, nothing to do, really cold winters with -40C weather...tons of mosquitos in the summer...not much crime but we have alot of drunks on the streets..lol..doesn't bother me cause I spent most of my life here but THANK GOD when I get to get out of here (which is quite a bit in spring/summer) Don't have much crime though, it pays good...town is busiest in the winter months when all the oil riggers move north to work...little known fact..we are called mini las vegas as we have quite a few hotels with vegas hotel names (Sahara, Stardust, Flamingo, Frontier, Mirage) lol..even got the big signs with flashy lights...but other then that, NO FUN STUFF...scary thought, right? lol

Weather pisses me off sometimes & i know how so many people can get sick when it's 40C one day 18 the next?

But everything else about Melbourne is perfect!

I live out in the suburbs close to Mt.Dandenong

My fav place to go above when the lightning comes!!

But MAC counter is only 15 minutes away & pro shop about 30mins..

So not complaints from me!!
