Oh my god, when did my mother get a live journal and how did you find it?!
She's exactly the same--hates being Southern and goes out of her way to erase every bit of it from herself. It's so sad. She has no clue why I love Georgia so much.
And yeah, pee-can is rampant in South Georgia. My mom's sister used to yell at her sons in her thickest southern accent, "a pee can is somethin' you pee in, not a nut!"
I've been meaning to tell you that I think you'd like my friend Angela's journal, lastcallforcorn.
And yeah--I just don't get the "OMG, if people know I'm Southern, they'll think I'm an idiot" mentality. If you're an idiot, inquiring minds are going to KNOW, regardless of where you're from. ;)
