28. So, are you from Albany or Kingston?

I lived briefly in Yonkers and my roommate was from Kingston. It's not my favorite place...it's like all the problems of urbanity in a town that looks like rural podunk. He used to lie and alternately tell people he was from Saugerties or "just outside Albany."

I'm now not between anything...I'm smack dab in "rich people."

(I'm not sure why the Gold Coast is "Swedish" though...there aren't a lot of Scandinavians there as a point-of-fact. Assholes? People that make the rest of CT's rich people look poor? Trains? Fake Ivy Grads? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Swedes? No.)
