YAMeme: States (of memory)

[damont]

I obviously don't get around as much as giselle0002, from whom this is ganked:

bold the states you've been to, underline the states you've lived in and italicize the state you're in now... [I don't know if this is meant to mean the state you LIVE in now, or the one you are physically in as you work on the meme. But for me they're the same.]

Alabama / Alaska / Arizona / Arkansas / California / Colorado / Connecticut / Delaware / Florida / Georgia / Hawaii / Idaho / Illinois / Indiana / Iowa / Kansas / Kentucky / Louisiana / Maine / Maryland / Massachusetts / Michigan / Minnesota / Mississippi / Missouri / Montana / Nebraska / Nevada / New Hampshire / New Jersey / New Mexico / New York / North Carolina / North Dakota / Ohio / Oklahoma / Oregon / Pennsylvania / Rhode Island / South Carolina / South Dakota / Tennessee / Texas / Utah / Vermont / Virginia / Washington / West Virginia / Wisconsin / Wyoming / Washington D.C

Some notes:

• Only two states I've been to do NOT touch the rest. Going to those happened on the SAME trip (by airplane of course). The other airplane trips I've taken were either to states I've been to by car/train/bus, or to Europe.
• I only counted the states I've walked around in -- flying over doesn't count. If I didn't get out of the plane/car/train/bus it doesn't count either.
• If I'm lucky I might add another five states this summer.

[EDIT 21 Jan 06: Didn't get those five states, but I did add Michigan. If circumstances cooperate I can add TN, MS and LA this year, leaving just NH and ME east of the Mississippi.]

[EDIT 28 Jun 06: I did add those three states noted above: Tennessee and Mississippi in March, and Louisiana earlier this month.]

[EDIT 07 Feb 08: Added New Hampshire after going to the Birka event in January.]

[EDIT 27 Sep 08: Added California due to a 2-week business trip in August.]

[EDIT 16 Sep 09: Added Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska earlier this month.]
