I live near the capitol of my state (Raleigh), North Carolina, in a region known as the Piedmont. It's very hilly. I'm three hours from the mountains to the west and about five from the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

The only celebrity I've seen is Obama, and I never really got to... see him. I was standing on my mom's back at a rally before he got elected. My teacher's journalist friend says he has a really bad handshake, though. *smirk*

Boringness- the highways. They're beautifully boring. Blue Ridge Parkway, which is, like, in the mountains, is absolutely FANTASTIC. But somehow more boring.

It's very green, except in the summer, when it turns brown. Especially my backyard, because my dad hates watering grass and can't be bothered...

I get to school on a big yellow bus. It's hot as heck (where the bad kids go). I also get home on a big yellow bus. Then I walk up a normal hill (duh, Piedmont) and go home.

Yeah... that's about it.
