So many of you probably don't know, but my town name is Boston. Well, here's the funny part: not only do I not live in Boston, or Massachusetts, I don't even live near the East coast! I live in the mid-western US.

But why did I decide to name my town Boston? Well, this post I made back in December of 2011 gives a vague hint...

"Well, here's a list of my other town names...
Animal Crossing GCN: ranter
AC:WW: Ernier
AC:CF: Gaton
It'll probably end up being something really random... like Quahog lol
Wait.. I HAVE AN IDEA!
AC:3DS: Boston
I like that name... I like Super Mario Galaxy 2 also lol"

I eventually gave a reason for why I named my town Boston, though most of it I don't find very convincing.

"My town name is Boston, because so many incidents have happened in boston, massachusetts, that I felt as though the town could be like a memorial. It also houses one of the greatest music colleges in the US, Berklee, and it is hom to the Boston harbor whoch played abig role during the American Revolution. Also, I fnd the name Boston to be very formal and unique."

*'Lotta typos back in 2014...!*

My town is not a memorial for the real Boston, MA, and I don't believe, now that Berklee is the "best" music college in the US. They only do jazz study there; I play classical. :( And I'm not sure why I thought the Boston Harbor played a role in my decision. Because it didn't. But I guess the whole "formal" thing did play a role...

As for my player... he's a whole different story.

"My player name is Daniel because I had a player a long tone ago on the Gamecube with the same name. I deleted his profile because an animal villager (biff D:<) told me to go away forever. But I thought ya know I should bring him back on NL a few years later when I first heard of the game ACNL. I had some wacky imagination 6 years ago! D:"

This is all very true. I literally deleted my player on the GCN because Biff told me mean things after I kept hitting him with a net. What a dumb excuse, right?

I based my player's appearence off the guy on the front cover of ACNL. That was probably pretty lazy, but I like him the way he is right now. He actually looks very similar to the original player except that now he has hazel eyes instead of brown.

I would like to know why I named him that in the first place... or why I decided that, of all the players I have purposely/accidentally deleted, this would be the best player to choose?

All I know is that now, I wouldn't change it for anything.

And I still have letters addressed to Daniel in my town on the GCN! Talk about old!! xD
 
For some reason this reminds me of when I would name my towns in like French or Spanish or like just have it be made up.
I also have a weird thing with my main AC games that their names all begin with L. (Lavender, Luna, etc.) and ones that don't are my like extra ones.
