I've lived in Texas since October of 2006. When I first moved down here from New York, I lived in Plano for six months. I now live in Allen, and I have realized that things are the same: people are not friendly.
In the bar I go to, I'm getting recommendations from people to start going to Starbucks.
I realize I don't get along with people down here. Maybe the issue is that my mindset is still the "Yankee" one... so when I don't get to talk to anyone nearby, that's probably it. I've never been able to adapt to the Southern way of life, so as time goes by, I realize I don't belong here.
Tonight, some silly bitch chick from Euless gave me the whole "Yankee" talk, telling me that I "whine and cry" about not getting conversation down here. Well, maybe that's the case, but I'm sure that blowing me off and generally treating me like garbage isn't the solution. So, after all that was said and done, I wound up placing her on ignore on Yahoo (just as well), and now I'm right back where I started.
This night will end as it began: I'm going to drink beer until I die of alcohol poisoning, and I'm going to sit in my apartment until something like that happens. The difference is, I am now fully aware of how Texas people see me... and I no longer care.
