*sidenote*

remember this post? well, some guy at our yard sale this weekend asked me where i was from originally. he was older than me, so i was sure we had not gone to high school together, but i went ahead and answered, "little rock". his reply? "really? i was trying to place your accent. you sound like your from, like, michigan or wisconsin or something." this time, i had witnesses. damn. (luckily, my southerness returned later in the day during conversations with some natives. now if i could only figure out what triggers it.)
