How many houses have you lived in? How is where you live now different from where you grew up?

Wow, is this question for real? There is no way that I have the time and energy to create a list. As a military brat, I moved all over the world growing up. It came with the territory. By the time I was fourteen years old, I had had fourteen different addresses. I am now twenty-two and I am sure that my number of past address is similar to that number. I never had a 'home-town' per say, and I still don't Whenever I am asked the question 'Where are you from?'  I never quite know how to answer. Do you mean where was I born? Or do you mean where I spent the majority of my youth? Do you want my hometown in America, or globally? Do you mean where my family lives or where I live now? And as if this was not confusing enough, since leaving home after high school, I have continued to lead my nomadic lifestyle. I've gone to college in four difference campuses and three different countries. I've had at least sixteen different roommates. Ugh! Sometimes, I really wish that I would finally become settled and stop moving around but on the other hand, after I'm in a town for about two years, I get the itch to move on. I guess I feel that there is too much would out there to stay in one place...
