I'm sorry - I know you're annoyed at all my north v. south talk - but I can't help it!!! My team just went out to lunch which is way cool (especially since it went on the company credit card), but I must tell you it was depressing on so many levels....... First of all there is no such thing as real mexican food up here - not even 1 real mexican employee, no good food, no good chips and salsa, - not even a Willy's! But set the cuisine aside and the lunch still just about sent me packing to come back home....... The people up here are way too nice - well not in a good way - not in a "oh, let me hold that door open for you ma'am" kind of way, that would actually be great. Instead they'll close the door in your face but hang you for mentioning anything related to any group of people that might even be remotely possibly twisted a million degrees to be something even remotely possibly offensive. You just can't cuss - not even in a "golly molly darn it" kind of way, instead it is in a "oh we don't acknowledge bad things" kind of way. Nevermind that I was just set up for the most perfect smart-arse comment, I have to bite my tongue!!! Well....don't get me wrong - I still say it - it's just that I'm the only one who does... And I get lots of dirty looks. Losers. ;)
Furthermore, NO ONE UP HERE WATCHES COLLEGE SPORTS!!!!!! I was prepared to have to look far and wide for ACC fans, but to not even like ANY teams?????? Ludicrous. It would probably not be PC enough to chose one team over another anyways... I mean do you know they ACTUALLY call black people "african-americans" up here??? Like for real!! If you ask me it sounds dirtier than black. They probably don't even know any black people.
They watch lamo tv and read lamo books too. And the guys up here watch lifetime and think that camo is only for hunting. (not that they hunt of course, that would hurt the animals....) I prefer men who are gentlemen to ladies but actually do manly things - but then I guess I'm just a Crawford at heart. Only a bunch of crazy bleeding heart liberals up here - that's all there are! Maybe it's in the granola.....note to self - steer clear of the granola..........
Ok guess I'll go back to being a hard-working PC cog in the machine...I wish these people would get a sense of humor and joke around some though!!
ps-Glee I LITERALLY just came back to lunch into a conf room and BUSH was playing!!!!! eerie!!!!!

Okay... You need some people in Seattle who know where you come from and can relate to you. Check out http://gtseattle.org. Maybe you can go to an event and meet some people who know Georgia Tech and know Atlanta.
Also, call Charles and ask him about these liberals. He seemed "normal".
And now that Clay's there, maybe he can find a DAWG association, but if those Seattle folks don't know about camo being a regular article of clothing, then Clay may be the first DAWG there.
Hang in there babe! Rosie's on her way.
Sounds like you're in a bit of a microcosm and you need to get off campus more. Not real familiar with things east of the sound, (yes you are in crazy bleeding heart liberal country) but I can promise you Kitsap and Olympic Pinnsula will be more to your likeing politically and EVERYONE is a HUSKIE fan. I've always found real men avoid big cities no matter which coast you're on. I know I'm getting boring but Polsbo and Silverdale both have good Mexican prepared and served by locals! Really glad you're getting out of town. Hope you enjoy!! Can't wait to hear about it!
Dad smugly chuckled, "She sound like you turned inside out". " N vs S"
Can't wait to hear about you weekend adventure!
Love Mom
PS The sweet fragrance of honeysuckle and confederate jasmine is heavy on the patio and bikepath. Just thought you would like to know.
