    I was born in Plano, lived in Houston till I was 4 then moved to Saudi Arabia till I was a freshman in highschool. Went two years to a public highschool in SugarLand then 2 years in Switzerland.

    Back in Tx now, but north of Houston.

    Always considered Houston home. My grandparents live there, so just about EVERY summer we flew back to Houston to spend time there.

    I for everything Houston. I'm a fan of all the teams just because they play for the City.

    Born in Houston at the Woman's Hospital of Texas, right next to the Astrodome. Raised in Bay City but moved to Houston when I was 9. Spent 16 of the other 20 years of my life here.

    If you're not 713 -- you're not a real Houstonian.

    Hermann Hospital son! I've been representing my city everywhere I go. No matter all the places I've seen and loved, there's no place like home.

    MCI was the worst company. I canceled them too because they had someone else on my account who was making calls to Sweden the same time I was making calls to Houston. They never fixed it, and I told them if don't get my account right, I'm quiting.

    Then I quit. They keep calling and asking my why I quit and I tell them " you idiots have some other person on my account and can't figure out how to delete them, so I quit cause you guys are r****ds".

    I don't really count myself as a Houstonian, but I can't see myself living somewhere else any time in the near future.

    Birth to 5 - Lafayette, LA
    5 to 9 - Corpus Christi, TX
    9 to 14 - Lafayette again
    14 to 18 - Houston, TX
    18 to 19 - Waco, TX (school)
    19 to 23 (present) - Houston, TX

    I was born in Webster, TX. My family moved to the Spring Branch area before my first birthday. I don't know if Webster was considered Houston area in the late 70's. I chose Born somewhere else but lived most of my childhood here.

    Easy there. I was born in Detroit. I've lived here pretty much my whole life though. We moved when I was only 7 months, and I've been here ever since.
