Put an X by the states you have been to. The average is 8; how do you match up?
(I have a hard time believing the average is only 8 states for Americans, but whatever...does anyone have hard, cold data on this?)
Should you chose to play, here's what you do:
Copy my note. Click on “notes” under tabs on your profile page. Select "write a new note" in the top right corner. (Or copy and paste into your blog, however you chose to correspond...)
Paste the copy in the body of the note. Delete my Xs and add your own. Change the number at the top, and add your title. Once you've saved, don't forget to tag friends (including me) on the right. Tag the same # of people as the # of states you've been to (I think you're limited to 30!).
Just for fun, put an O beside the states where you have lived.
If you have time, it would be fun to write notes, tagging a history of your life. (But I'm not guaranteeing anything special!)
Airports don't count!

Alaska -
Arizona - X O
Arkansas -
California - X O
