Say Anything.

'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.

Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort

This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.

So, say anything.

Texans are generally really friendly people. That "Texas hospitality" you always hear about. I know in AZ, people there were fucking rude at times, yeah, texas has its share of rude fuckers also, but not near as bad as what I saw in AZ while I was there.

I gotta say, when we lived in NM and we drove over to Texas, everyone driving was always so damn nice. Everyone waves lol

That's just a southern thing. I remember the now ex coming to visit me in MS back in the day, wanting to know who that was every time we passed someone on the road. Me: Was like I dunno. Him: Then why they wave? Me: Southern hospitality? *shrug* LoL

It's only when other people from FL ask. Otherwise, I just say "South Florida". Most people who aren't from FL wouldn't recognize the name anyways. If they're from FL, I'm either vague (county name), or misleading ("5 minutes from (the city 5 minutes south of me)"). There's a huge stigma against where I am from, and people automatically assume... stuff. Like if you lived in Beverly Hills, people would assume you are rich. It's pretty much the same thing here.

In my defense, I don't actually live in the city anyways. I live in unincorporated county land, so we just use it as a mailing address, and you can't really tell somebody "unincorporated county" when they ask where you live, unless you like dumbfounded looks.

I was actually born in Detroit, so a lot of the time, I'll try and evade the question like "I was born in Detroit" or "I'm from Michigain". It rarely works :(

I'm from West Fucking Virginia.

The best part is when people make fun of it and then ask me what part of Virginia I'm from - stupid fuckers. Or they'll proceed to say they know so and so from somewhere in Virginia, and I'll just say "that is awesome - I know someone from insertstatethatisn'ttheirs"

Thats the norm down here. Us southerners arent stuck ups =p

Texas is a very very active / social state. Everyone is your brother / sister here etc...depending where you live.

Yeah I actually spent more time growing up in Texas than I did in MS. We bounced all over back then tho. Where I lived in East Texas is was pretty much the same as over there tho. Everyone knew everyone it seemed like LoL Nowadays you're more likely to have some random person flip you off while driving down the road than to just wave for the sake of sayin' howdy.

People are like that here too.. its common to go someplace like.. the post office or the grocery store and end up talking to a total stranger for 20 minutes.. people are so nice! You cant let a car drive past without waving to them and vice versa hehe

Its so different from Phoenix.. where you kinda try to avoid eye contact and keep your mouth shut in public the majority of the time lest you be considered rude.

I know it was like that in Buffalo TX. I swear everywhere we went, people smiled,waved, said Hi. Of course my husband grew up there, as did his parents, and grandparents so everyone in the small town knew him, and his whole damn family.

Here in Bryan/College Station where we live now... it's still friendly, but more so in my neighborhood than places like the mall or somewhere. Its a little creepy if you ask me! I can be driving down the road and everyone taking their walks will wave and smile.

Yeah people in the south seem to be more friendly. I lived in MS for a while and it was really weird having people wave and say hi.

OMFG We got 4-6 inches of snow last night. I am so sick of winter.
