fitting in
 

ok, i was born and raised a city boy. cant stand traffic, noise, and people, so i moved to the country. problem solved. peace and quiet at last! (think "green acres minus zaza and the dog, and that'll be me) the change of pace is great and the locals are an endless source of entertainment. just last week the dollar store had a big campaign announcing they now offer layaway! rock-on!
anyway, after a year, i still dont fit in. i'm sorry, but dockers and a polo are everyday ware for me. for that resaon alone i stick out like a sore thumb. (faded jeans and rebel flag shirts are....well...no) every day somebody will ask me where i'm from.
i'm sick of saying i'm from orlando, (home of boy bands & disneyworld) thats embarassing enough. i'm need a good cynical comeback to that question.....remember, these are rednecks we're talking about

move to NewYork :)

"Rumor has it that my Mother delivered me, and I don't know where SHE was cuz I was too young to ask"

I was born and raised a country girl, In the heartland of course, My Son was a bull rider ( he moved here too), my dad had a ranch, and also rodeo'd for years, Then I moved to orlando LOL I can almost relate with you, reversed of course, I am in culture shock big time,, and have to laugh everytime I see the anerexic cows they have here in Florida. :)

hehe, you moved to o-town? i'm so sorry;)
have you expierenced I-4 at 5:00?
what part of town you move to?

check out k92 fm and 8 seconds on the trail, if ur into country. you can also drive out to groveland and webster (hw 50 west) they're fla country towns, with some good restaurants (chactaw willies in grvld and winter garden, great home cookin')

come to L.A :thumbsup

i've actually thought about both LA & NY
but the traffic....
next move will probablly be to the mountains or the beach, someplace with relative proxcimity to an actual "city"

Oh hell yeah I have experienced I-4 and 50 is just as deadly, But I drive a Durango (with nice glass packs, big enough to blow by anyone lol) and I have learned the fine art of driving with these idiots. We live in East Orlando, In the country, By Christmas. We have a place in Daytona too, but we rented that out last summer to a snow bird :) Where did you move too? oh btw, my son loves 8 seconds, he goes down and rides the bulls for fun now... Thank God he got out of that full time.

lmao, spoken like a true orlando resident;)
driving there is kinda fun w/ a big vehicle, you just run em' off the road if they dont move:)
christmas is a cool town, havnt been there in sev yrs though. i lived on the west side, winter garden, clermont. didnt go to the east side much because it took to friggen long, even w/ the east/west "ticket"way
i moved up to dublin Ga, hence dublin1 nice town, No traffic, kinda like ovido.
got family in so daytona, nice place to get away
a friend of a friend used to do bull ridiing, scary stuff, tell him to stick to the mechanical ones:)

Yeah I love that eastwest expy ,, I went through Clermont on the way to Dade City the other day. It is a hike. What I want to know is why no one warned me about the fire ants before I came LOL those things hurt like a "mutha"
btw, My son wont do the mechanical thing, He always draws the biggest meanest bulls they have. I hate it,, and Thank Goodness he now has other interests :)
Dont sweat the "country people" Most of them have good hearts and are pretty cool,,, its the drunk rednecks you got to watch out for LOL

dont like fireants? wait till mesquito season hits;)
country people are cool as heck. it was a culture shock how friendly everybody is, and the one finger salute to every car you pass. i dont think i'll be returning to city life for while. the slow pace is refreshing, except when your waiting in line at wendy's lol
btw, dont tell your son about the silver spurs rodeo, should be comeing up pretty soon:winkwink:

Yeah and waiting for the slow tractors and combines to get off the road LOL He already knows about that rodeo, but has too work alot, so I'm not worried .. hehe
BTW, your making me homesick :) But I do love it here, I have been here four years now and it still baffles me that I can look at Christmas lights and wear shorts, and even use the a/c in the winter. I do miss the changing of the seasons tho.

Do they have "Sonic Drive Ins" there? those are the bomb,, they finally got one here in Orlando....Sweet,,, I love the Cherry Limeaids with extra cherries...MMmmmmmm:thumbsup

Get a Taz tattoo.

Fuck yeah!!! The mosquitos here in south Florida have been known to take small children away. They sound like fucking helicopters when they buzz in your ear. Wait till you go in the water at the beach and get sea lice, what a friggin treat that is.

Sea Lice? ick!!!
I think I'll just swim in the pool LOL
I dont like sharks anyway:angel

Not I baby, that involves needles, beside it would be betty boop if i did, but you were probably speaking to Dublin anyway :)

Webster, restaurants?? You mean the mystery meat being cooked on 55 gal drums? lol




:1orglaugh

If you're sick of saying Orlando, you'd get sick of using the comeback too...

I moved to Kentucky country from Fla., so when asked, I just say.... "Florida".. seems to work everytime.. :)

Just get used to wearing t-shirts and blue jeans.. the question will be less frequent..

Orlando kinda sucks ass, that's why i'm moving my offices to Palm Beach County this summer. Nice cars, hot babes, and right by the water :) :thumbsup

:pimp :drinkup
Palm beach is the most diverse town I have ever lived in, on the island you have Palm Beach, home of Worth Ave and multi-million dollar homes, then just on the other side of the bridge is cracktown. If you come here you need to check out Clematis Street, its kinda Palm Beach's version of Bourban Street.

I lived in Boca Raton for about 8 years so I already know Palm Beach County pretty well, can't wait to move back. I haven't spent much time on Clematis St though, but my friend just moved into an apartment on Clematis so i'll probably end up visiting soon and checking out the clubs and such.

Try Long Island- the traffic isn't as bad as NYC, and the further east you go, the more quiet it is.

"I am from my daddy's penis but have moved since then."

when they give you a funny look then say:

"YES I was the fastest sperm of the over 100,000 that he put out that day"

that should shut their asses up........... LMAO

A long time ago, I got tired of being asked this in chatrooms, so my hubby gave me this line andi t worked everytime. I wasn't too into telling strange chatroom people where I was living...... but this line seemed to have shut them up everytime....... at LEAST distracted them long enough where they forgot what the hell they even asked me. LOL

LMAO HOLY SHIT, You'll give those country folk a freakin Heart Attack... hahhahahahaa:thumbsup

Tell them you do Porn for a living.....<I am still fucking giggling Tam!>

Paint your neck red and say Hee Haw and I Reckon alot, you'll fit right in.
