I wouldn't worry. I put in my zip code and then zoomed in to see how close the pin was to my actual location. It was all the way over by my cousin's house. Zip codes cover too large an area to find someone with it.

Now that I've said that, is there any way you can move your pin, or place a pin exactly where you want it, instead of having to let the thing place it for you using your zip code? I'd like to do that. That map is awesome. It actually shows my driveway! I could stick the pin right on top of the room where I'm sitting right now. Frankly, I don't care if some Downer finds me. It would just be a pleasant surprise.

Well, which do you want? College home or Home home? I'll just give both.

I live in the US. I go to college at Kansas State University, which is in Manhattan, KS. Which means I live in Manhattan.

For home, I live in a very small town in the middle of the same state. It's only about 2500 people or less. It's actually a very nice place, apart from the fact that there is nothing to do... ever... except The Barrowdowns!

Anguirel? England? My imagination thwarted again! How unfair. First I have to find out that he's not Antonio Banderas, and then I find out he's not like... 26... and now... now he's not from the South-western US? What is the world coming to?!

PS:

Also PS: Mith, the name "New Milton-Barton-on-Sea, England" is possibly the coolest in the world. I can only imagine young children trying to learn that mouthful.
