Wooooot! - Factions is back!- it's been updated but more work is definately needed! - So who out there wants to start helping me catergorize California? SoCal and NoCal need to be split into two clumps.
- Also! We've got around 30 of the US states on this list.. I know we have Jatraqueros and Jatraqueras all over the place- so lets get them on the list!- Post your position! We want you! Join A Faction Today!
SoCal :Rivka (The Cali-Clump Queen) - Dangermom - Papa Moose - Mama Squirrel - Mooselet - Superstation - Ladydove - saxon75 - Porce - docmagik - Juliette - Damien - NdRa/Sandy - Beren/bruinlawyer/vwiggin - littlemissattitude - Lazer King
HoCal : Adam - Zalmoxis - ESL - graywolfe - SirReal - fallow - Chris Kidd
The Canadian Clumps : -Ontario :- Eaquae Legit - digging_holes (currently searching for an organ donar to supply him/her with a heart, the original is in Quebec)

Colorado : DocCoyote
England (the New one): Elizabeth - Mack - Kwea - JenniK - Sarahdipity - Suneun/Dabbler - Mike - Bokonon - Paul Goldner - Beca - Martha - Kale - Dragon
Texas is the clump of the month this September, un-proudly represented by the one and probably not only Katharina! - So lets work on getting more Texadians on the 'Rack and let's get Clumpin'!

It's a sub-faction of the Utah Clump's Substance Abuse Sub-clump, representing those who aren't opposed to the subjugation of sugar cane plants for purposes of human gratification. If you like green jell-o and ice cream but are opposed to the use of animal products for human gratification, then the Cotton Candy Clump is for you.

There are several people from VA on the board, but I think most of them are up in the DC area. I think Mrs.M moved to Roanoke recently.
I was in Arlington until about a month ago. Now I reside in Austin, Texas. (Did you see that Katharina? Another Texas jatraquera, even if I mostly lurk and live three hours away - you're not alone.)

Posted by skillery (Member # 6209) on :
I found a couple of good places to eat in Austin last week:
Mama Ninfa's (Hwy183 @ I-35) I had the carnitas plater. The pork was tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. Deeelish!
Chipotle (On Parmer, about 2 miles west of I-35) They build your huge burrito to order while you watch. Mine had barbacoa (spicy, shredded beef), black beans, and avocado among other fillings. A real gut buster.
Austin has a Fry's Electronics...heaven for geeks. I wish they'd build one in Salt Lake.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Chipotle is a lovely chain owned by McDonalds - they are all over Texas.
Did it have a theme? The Frys near my house has a rodeo theme.
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
I had no idea that Chipotle was owned by McDonald's. Actually, until Kamacon I had no idea that it existed outside of Southern California. I like Chipotle. Not terribly authentic, but tasty nonetheless. [Edit: And still a darn sight more authentic than Taco Bell or Del Taco.]

So, Katie, how do people pronounce "Chipotle" around you? In SoCal most people pronounce it "chi-'pOt-lA," but I noticed that in Chicago "chi-'pät-lA" was more common. I have a couple of friends who always pronounce it "chi-'pOt-&l."

Some Saturday as in this Saturday or a Saturday sometime in the future? At this point, either one works for me, although I will warn you that I know next to nothing about Austin so far - I haven't had much opportunity to get out and explore.
And I believe there's at least one other Hatracker in Austin - I think his name is Book.

As long as I don't have a lot of reading to do or a paper deadline, any weekend will probably work for me. So just give me a heads up whenever y'all want to came down.
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Really? What's your program?
I just started grad school at UNT.
Posted by Risuena (Member # 2924) on :
I'm doing a master's in Latin American Studies with a focus on development. I think I'm still somewhat awed by my classes because all of the professors have basically said, "I'm interested in exploring this topic and I'm not sure where I want to go with it. Let me pick your brains." That part at least, is a lot different than I expected.
I assume UNT is North Texas (you really don't want to know how long it took me to figure that out, particularly if I'm wrong)?
And I'm going to turn your question around on you, what's your program?
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
I'm getting a master's in tech writing at, yep , University of North Texas in Denton while I'm still working in Dallas during the day. Coccinelle is getting her master's in education (I think...maybe French) from Texas Women's University.
Not that I've gone to class yet - my GRE scores didn't make it with my application so right now I was provisionally accepted until they get them, so I hadn't registered.
Speaking of, I need to go and call them, I think.

As for why I have so many fiances, if you knew these 4 guys you'd have asked them to marry you too! Why did they say yes? That continues to astound and gratify me. You'll have to ask them that. (But I totally have a testimony for plural marriage now.)
