I'll let you have summers in the south. I don't feel as if I'm being baked like a potato, but rather steamed, like broccoli. Me? I'll take the fog and the drizzle of the Pacific Northwest. And I really miss it.

Don't worry about being verbose. You and words seem to get along famously.

i love the way you describe yourself. i may have to borrow this format for my own journal ;)

nuevo-gypsy southerner: I'm a wanderer. Maybe because my dad was in the military and I moved a lot as a kid, maybe because I have Pavee heritage (guesses/hopes, not known for sure), maybe just because I am insatiably curious and want to meet all the people I can. Whatever the case, I don't like staying in one place for more than a year or two at a time. Ideally I'd like to be traveling for at least half the year, and spend all of summer in Georgia. I have intense ties to this state, not so much because of the people I know here, but because of the land itself. I have red clay in my veins. And I love the warmth of the climate (deep, baking heat mmm) and the people (who wave and smile back!). I love southerners -- we're like other people, only more so. ;-)that describes me exactly. i've been in Indiana for 13 years (ugh...) and it's driven me crazy at the 3rd year being here. add 10 more onto that. this is the longest i've been in 1 place ( ... )

Virginia is considered southern by many, though I would say that the DC area is more northern. I used to live up there! (I think I've mentioned that to ya before) I like Virginia, it has a good feel to it -- but I don't think I'd want to live there. Still too cold for me. ;-)

I love the way you described the potential negative effects of "little white lies" -very insightful.

belenen November 7 2007, 19:58:37 UTC

thank you! ;-)

Oh, I like you! Nice to meet you, and I look forward to reading more from you.

Huzzah for curvy genderfree gypsy southerners! I have a few of those myself who I love dearly!

awww thank you! *beams* it's fun to be liked :D

A FEW curvy genderfree gypsy southerners?!?!? Hurry up and introduce me, quick quick! *giggles* I need more of that kind of person in my life, f'real.

anchasta November 9 2007, 14:08:36 UTC

LOL...none of them are on LJ, or I actually would. :)

I could comment on pretty much any aspect to of this, it was brilliant. I love the part about being partnered; I fully embrace the idea myself. Husband/wife has this connotation of different playing fields, different levels as it were; I've only met one other person (aside from myself) that openly uses the same description.

Mind if I friend you? ^_^

belenen November 7 2007, 20:01:49 UTC

thanks so much! I'm glad you agree!

sorry for the delayed response but of course I don't mind, I'm flattered. :D
