I have an above-average amount of hometown pride. Since I am coincidentally stationed eight miles from where I grew up, I am usually having to defend something about my home. Someone in my unit is always bitching about the weather, the drivers, something.

So, I have applied twice to the SG Seattle group and twice I have not made the cut. I can only guess that I am not active enough on SG. I wish I had the time to do so, but I don't. I am a member of the Autism group, perhaps that may shed light for some as to why my social interactions here are not so much. I consider myself a die-hard SG fan, I kept my memebership active for the whole year I was in Iraq and I was able to log on a handful of times while over there. I have also recruited several people to join.

I love SG and the one thing I've noticed is that people are either friendly and cool or complete snobs, there really is no in between. I have been snubbed by people here, but for those of you who have not, Thanks.
