It's funny that when I lived in Massachusetts, I thought of New York and New Jersey as being in another part of the country--they're not part of New England, after all--but when I lived in Florida, the entire Northeast was collectively called "Up North"; when I lived in Michigan, it was collectively "The East"; and in Texas, it's "The East Coast."

I'm from the Midwest. Every other part of the country is "out yonder."

The thing I miss the most about Boston is public transit. Houston's is okay for getting in and out of Downtown, but that's about it. I miss being able to walk a few blocks and hop on a subway and go.

Boston cream pie, of course, is actually a cake. I've never been that big in the "pie vs. cake" debate (I'd rather have cookies than either one), but I'm sure Boston cream pie must cause a little confusion in it.

Seeing it is my birthday, I'll have a piece of cake.
A wonderful gift would be to not post to this thread for 7 days.

Sorry to disappoint, Quis. How about a Borders gift card instead?

I do like that even the bigger bookstores have manga and comic book sections now. I still can't afford any of them, though...

If not Borders, how about Target? Ikea, maybe?
