Apparently...

There are 13 million people in IL. 8 million of them are not Christians.

Staggering. So, that's a con. Also sort of a pro, that there are many people I could reach.

laffin' my buns off here...oh my...holy misunderstandings Batman! When I initially read what Jess wrote about being voted ugliest state,for some reason I thought she meant the residents of Kansas,and I thought "How cruel is that,to make fun of those nice people!" ...then only now after reading Graces' post,did I "get it". lol Wow...I am really retarded. And btw...the ugliest state I've ever seen,and it's not that it was "ugly" so much as just plain boring to drive through was Nebraska.

To be honest, I thought Florida was the ugliest state I've ever been to. Not a big fan of never ending swampland...it's also at the bottom of places I would never want to live.

I stated in my previous post that the state that I live in, North Carolia, is racist. As of today, we are being sued by the United States Government for new voter laws in NC that are racist. This is my home, and this is so sad and embarassing

That field is actually pretty too. Haha. Maybe I'm just used to looking at pine trees.

Ummm... I have no idea what part of Kansas we went through. We were going from Texas to Colorado and I wasn't driving or paying any attention to anything but those awesome hills. :p
