I wouldn’t hold my breath…

And I live in a town of 2000 people and hope to go to University in a city of 75, 000… which may just kill me…

And those 50 people did in fact either work for the school or were married to those who did.

But see, it all makes sense. It may not have been Unibomber State, but it is the school from which Professor X graduated. Many mutants graduated from there, I suspect. I’m just waiting for my powers to manifest.

I guess if we’re separating college and town, the town had maybe 50 people in it. Talk about isolation from the outside world. A little thrill went through me every time the garbage men showed up. They reminded me there actually was a bigger planet out there somewhere. Because I had no car, those were the only non-college-related individuals I saw until I flew home at the end of each year.

What the hell? Did you go to Unibomber State?

I went to college in a town of 1,000—all college students or professors. My college was literally in the woods, and the “town” per se was simply a bunch of houses in which the faculty lived.

That’s OK; I graduated high school in a small town (about 3,800 people in town). And I went to college in a town of 20,000 people. So I’m no city boy.

Ours eventually closed, too.

lol

Yeah, twenty years ago we had a theater in town, but the town was so small they had to close it…

That was one of the nice things about living in a tiny town: my bro and I often had the theater to ourselves. But unlike with “D.A.R.Y.L.,” where we were enthralled from start to end (even after having seen it probably ten times already) and didn’t make a sound in the empty theater, “Tron” we all but ignored for the full running time. To this day I’m not even sure what the plot was, beyond the idea that people got pulled into a video game.

And I wasn’t born in 1992, by a long shot. So no worries, Nick.
