Native New Yorker

out_thereHave come to a decision/realisation. My Danny is a native New Yorker.
See, this has always bugged me. That Danny says in the pilot that he's lived his entire life in New York, and yet Natalie refers to him being from Connecticut.
So, I'm thinking that Danny grew up in New York, and his parents moved after Sam. I think Sam was the youngest (theoretically, I think David's oldest, then Dan's sister, then Dan and then Sam) and that after Sam's death and Danny going to college, they didn't have any more kids at home. Plus, there's the whole moving away from bad memories, and I could just imagine most of Sam's stuff being in storage (up in the attic, or something).
So, I'm imagining Jacob and his wife living in a house in Connecticut, with at least one guest bedroom (maybe two... a three-bedroom house, probably).
Basically, Dan's grown up in New York, but his parents have lived in Connecticut since he was 17/18. (ie. the last decade). Dan went away for college (Dartmouth), then worked for a couple years, then spent a couple years in Dallas, and then came back to New York again. But, generally, he's spent a handful of years out of New York, and the rest in it.
I'm waiting to see if there's any logical fallacies in that theory. (Yes. This is what I'm thinking about instead of working. Don't wanna be here, so of course, today is *dragging*.)

Date: 2004-04-05 07:52 pm (UTC)Yeah, you laugh now, but I have a lot of wips... like... three biggish SN ones, two misc SV ones (that may never be finished) a DCU one and... a QafUS one (which I'm avoiding like the plague).
Hrm, makes sense.
Well, I'm just thinking. I'm thinking of Danny going home and making sure he always stays in a motel. I'm thinking of Danny clearly thinking of it as the family house, or his parent's house, but never really thinking of it as *his*. I'm thinking of Danny caring a lot about his mom, but not really contacting her as often as he should...
I'm just stewing, and waiting for lunch to come.
