Rant Alert:
We have our own thing, with a pronounced emphasis on manners* and gratitude. If you go to a southerner's luncheon/tea/shindig/bonfire, you'll have a strong drink in hand and courses of food. But no vegan options. Or gluten free anything. Wtf is green juice. No special snowflakes or open conceit/narcissism. Your focus is always to be on others and not yourself (or should at least should appear to be). Unlike NYC/LA, no one is going to flat tell you what to wear/eat/think but they will relay what Jesus said that one time.
Also, shit can get weird and usually involves guns. Oh, and have you accepted Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?
*the things northerners/LA folks do at a dinner table!! No, it's not chill to chew with your mouth open, talk with food in your mouth, play with your dirty-ass phone with your elbows all over everything, blow your nose into your napkin (yes, at the table
) all while going on and on about yourself or your opinions. My mother would beat me if she saw me doing anything like this--much less in front of company--yet the majority of yuppies do it. Also, ya'll
sound ridiculous and I'm not talking to you anymore.
Sorry, rant. South vs. North + LA is a pet peeve.
I wanted to move to the city forever thinking everyone would be so smart and cultured compared to the south.
