Your university is bigger than my hometown. :p

Word. Her university is about 12 times larger than my home town :-P

You live on the moon.

I do not! :p

I'm a little better off... only like FOUR times bigger! :p

Zomg you live in a veritable metropolis! ;)

The population is counted towards Moncton's metropolis status. :p

Which it finally officially got, I think. :p

Score for Metropolii (?)!!

The town Sunny's school is in is about Moncton sized. She called it small. :p

It IS small!

It SO isn't. :p

Yeah Gators!

I don't think we ever have to play each other in anything, do we? That's fortunate. :D

Ariana Kane went there? NO WAY! (She kinda creeped me out, but OMG! she met Victor Garber!)

Stealing your icon if it's okay...

It's alright by me, but I'll ask Hannah, too. Just credit "liketruth."

Nah, not in the same division. But the Gators are damn good.

I will definitely credit.
