Hello friends. So, today I was browsing around Yahoo! Answers and I found my stalker again. Now, I have no idea why he is so obsessed with me, but he said, "there is a difference between living and being stationed" so I thought I would give him the definition of "to live."

Live–verb (used without object)
1. to have life, as an organism; be alive; be capable of vital functions: all things that live.
2. to continue to have life; remain alive: to live to a ripe old age.
3. to continue in existence, operation, memory, etc.; last: a book that lives in my memory.
4. to maintain or support one's existence; provide for oneself: to live on one's income.
5. to feed or subsist (usually fol. by on or upon): to live on rice and bananas.
6. to dwell or reside (usually fol. by in, at, etc.): to live in a cottage.
7. to pass life in a specified manner: They lived happily ever after.
8. to direct or regulate one's life: to live by the golden rule.
9. to experience or enjoy life to the full: At 40 she was just beginning to live.
10. to cohabit (usually fol. by with).
11. to escape destruction or remain afloat, as a ship or aircraft.
According to the 4th and 6th definition, I would say I live in Japan. I maintain my existance in Japan, by providing MY income to the Japanese economy. Also, I live in an apartment IN Yomitan, Okinawa... which is part of Japan.
Lets move on to other definitions though.

Breaks your heart, eh? The fact that stationed somewhere only applies to the face WHERE I WORK. So, yes, during 9-5 I suppose you could say I a stationed in Japan... but in actuality, I live in Japan. Because I support myself and my existance in Japan, my apartment is on Japanese soil so sorry to hurt your feelings. But, that's how it goes. This picture is for you, by the way. My thumbs up means, "suck my balls, bitch." lulz.
