Taking this little quiz was interested because just previous I was having a discussion with Eric about how 'technically' my house is in Chicago. The southern part, but it IS Chicago. He works in the loop, and does not consider where I live Chicago. He says I can say it is, cause technically it is, but it's not. My reaction? Annoyance. I've had this conversation before. Just because I don't live in a tall building, with no street parking and the hassle of the buisiness world around me doesn't mean I don't live in Chicago. Chicago is a large city and diverse. People from the suburbs, or better yet, NOT CHICAGO, can't see Chicago beyond downtown -or what is often called 'the city.' Everytime I write a letter, I have to write Chicago as my return address. Growing up I went to CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, and I take the CTA, not pace or whatever crap they use in the suburbs. Also, I live in a craptacularly small house, with a negative bedroom to person ratio, and don't even have a car. So I'm rather insulted to be told I live in the suburbs of Chicago.
I mean, I can't believe I'm dating someone from the 'burbs, but maybe I keep doing it for the other side experience. But, hun, fuck off if you tell me I live in the suburbs...(as I run outside to join him...)
