For LJ Idol -- Where I'm from

[oxymoron67]

I'm from what was a small mill town in Western Pennsylvania. Seriously, when I was a kid, there was a steel mill about six blocks away from my house

This reminds me of my comfy little suburb...More happens than you'd think...

If that didn't discourage your friend, nothing was going to. lol

Small town girl here. My hometown was the meth capital of Oklahoma. :)

Your friend's innocence died a cold, hard death that day... and you were kicking it in the butt every step of the way. :D

It has been my experience that just about everything that happens in the big, bad city happens in small towns. It's just that no one talks about it in small towns, so everyone can pretend. This is the conversation I keep having with my mom, on and off about how city is ruining the youth when statistics says that the rural population is more affected.

A nice take!:)
