Hey yo wazzzzzzaaaaa????!!!!!! No, I really don't talk like that. Don't worry. I'm just weird, that's all.
Anyway, I was lookin around on the net, and I came across a bit of hostility towards southerners. hmph. So...
Enough already with the North-South battle! The Civil War is over!! Moreover, enough with bashing the south! I was born and raised in the south and I'm proud of it. This does not mean, however, that I'm proud of the south's mistakes. Although the past can never be escaped, I don't feel that I personally carry around a stigma of being southern, and I don't feel that I should. Aside from the inevitable uneducated, racist bigots (*cough* Rocker *cough*), which, by the way, every area of the country has, there is nothing wrong with the south. I'd rather hear a southern drawl than be surrounded by nasal voices all day. (No offense to all my family and friends from Minnesota, Michigan, Chicago, etc.)
I have to acknowledge, though, that northerners and southerners are two entirely different breeds of people (no inbreeding jokes, please). There's nothing like getting a big smile and a "Hey y'all, come on in," when you enter somebody's home here. Where else but the south could you go to have an entire city shut down for slick roads and 2 inches of snow?
I'm kind of offended by this superior attitude northerners have. Although Southern Baptists are a thorn in my liberal side as well, I have to wonder, "are y'all all that liberal, that forgiving, that laid back yourselves?" I mean, I don't believe there's any part of this country that isn't occuppied by both right- and left-wing extremists. Why is it that this region of the country is under attack? Well. . . barring rednecks, the KKK, Jerry Falwell (or whatever his last name is), and Bill Clinton of course.
I go up north every summer and even though it's a small vacation-type town where most people are nice enough and know everybody else, I cna't help noticing that people back home just tend to be...nicer. I won't deny we have our share of jerks (see *cough* in first paragraph), but the whole attitude people carry around here is different. The pace isn't so frantic, maybe. That's why I couldn't live in NYC too long. Everybody on the street is a walking coronary. Where are the trees? Ooh, Central Park? Anywhere else?
Ah, as you can see, I've started to get off subject, so I better quit while I'm ahead.
In other news, I saw Me, Myself, and Irene yesterday. It was pretty funny. Except there was this one scene involving a spider and I couldn't watch. eeeew. I'm so afraid of spiders....Jessica got back from Illinois yesterday. OK, I thought I was going to cry I was laughing so hard when Jim Carrey got his thumb blown off....hahahahaa.
OK, are any of you doing anything Saturday??? Because Park's acting group is putting on a free show. And I'm going. And I don't know who else will be there, so...come with me! Maybe Stacy will go. Yes, I'll make her come with me.
This story I'm writing....well, I"m beginning to lose hope. It isn't really off to a promising start. At least I kind of have a plot and end planned out. Usually I just write until I get bored and my creativity runs out. Is the Marietta Square doing fireworks again this year? hmph.
It rained all day today until maybe 430. So by then it was pointless to go anywhere. Well, for me it was. Maybe not. Anyhoo, usually rain = lazy day, soooo.....my alarm was set to go off at 11, but I woke up at 10 because my nose was all stuffed up. Then I went back to sleep until 11. But it was nice, since my room was really dark, I knew it had to be raining outside, so I just laiy in bed for 20 minutes listening to Z93 while I slowly became concious. What a great feeling. My bed is so comfy. Don't you love that feeling when you've just woken up and you feel like you're in a cocoon sort of, and you just lay there....ah...bed.
My dogs are shedding like crazy. It's really disgusting. Our dark green carpet looks....well...blonde by the time our cleaning lady comes each friday.
I was bored this afternoon, so I made a list of some things that annoy the crap outta me and linked it to my main page. Don't ask me why. Who would want to read about all the things that annoy me???
I'm wearing my new favorite pair of jeans right now. They're just so comfy. Not too tight not too baggy. They're LEI. yeah....right.
Oooh Park just sent me an invitation via email to come to that thing on saturday. see, now i have to go. It should be fun. Hey it's free!! Everybody and anybody is welcome, so that means you!! hahaha.
hm...I haven't had too many profound thoughts lately. If I do they usually go straight to my journal. Y'ever notice how stuff gets in your keyboard? If you wanna see something gross, pick your keyboard up, turn it upside down, and shake it. See? Isn't that gross?
People like Gilbert and Montlick, The Shane Company, Maxi Price, Esquire Insurance, American Equity Mortgage, etc. should be promptly wiped off the face of the planet due to their extremely annoying advertising. YOU DON'T NEED TO SCREAM AT ME FROM YOUR PATHETIC PARKING LOT!! I CAN HEAR YOU!! I HAVE VOLUME CONTROL!!!! I mean really.
