I love it. Asheville, that is. A good friend of mine attended your school in between mountain bike sessions.


Wow, fun coincidences abound. I doubt I would know the person in question, though. I never really went into the city very often before I started going to school there this semester, and since I'm not a mountain bike person, I probably didn't hang out in the same circles as he.

Isn't the UK sometimes referred to as the 51st?

I thought Australia was the 51st state... or maybe that's just Alice Springs...

Sorry, Aussie/US politics.

How about the Biltmore Estates enology circle? Western NC Blue Grass and Old-Time Country Music Conservation? Thomas Wolfe Literary Society? French Creek preservation?

She did a lot of this kind of stuff when she lived there: Alt-hippy chick. Dime-a-dozen in Asheville, huh?

Nope, I wasn't a part of any of that. I was more a part of "geeks with no life who play too many video games, and like D&D." circle.

I think Asheville got its hippie chicks wholesale or something... or maybe there was a clearance at the hippie warehouse? Either way, the place is indeed loaded with them. Other frequent sights would be the many Asheville wiccans, the new-agey people, and the droves of gay guys who come here from surrounding counties to hang out at Scandals.

Say, when was she here? Did she mention anything about the Vance Monument being vandalized by feminists last year? It's a miniature washington monument type thing. They put paper machet testicles at the base of the monument and started protesting that it was too phalic or something of the sort.

Which reminds me that April 15th is when the Japanese have their Festival of the Iron Phallus... It's screaming for a Tobor strip, but I won't be able to make one in its honor today.

From upcomingmovies.com

Title Note: Since this film is set in England, the "51st state" in question is obviously meant to be slang for that country. Something worth noting, though, is that many Americans actually refer to Canada by that slang. Slang aside, Puerto Rico is the most likely true candidate for such an eventual label.

Erm... you are a musician too, no? We were big on the local music scene in the collegiate Southeast (Athens to Arlington). Still quite geeky, however.

Ahhh... sounds like my circle of friends in Winston.

1996-98. It's that un-nameable period after graduation and before graduate school where you still take classes and drink lots.

Feminist, yes, but she is too much of a Southerner (sixth generation legacy at her college) to desecrate Gov. Vance's phallic obelisk. Oddly enough, though, she has hardly a North Carolian accent. Damn Yankees infiltrating suburban Charlotte will have that effect.

Nope, I was never a musician... I've always been more of a visual artsy type person, though I've gotten so unbelieveably slack assed and out of practice these past few years its pathetic. Interesting that you mention Athens, though. My brother used to live there not too long ago, and I would house sit for him when he went on vacation. I loved that place... it has one of the coolest music shops right next to the 40 Watt club.

Funny, I don't have an accent either, and yet I've lived in this place my entire life. My mom and her family (who I spent a lot more time with) were all pretty southern, but my Dad and his family were all immigrants from Ecuador... It's amazing I didn't turn out speaking Southern-Spanish. Instead, I speak neither.

Many people hear my accent and don't believe I come from Glasgow, or sometimes even Scotland. But that's because I put on a bizarre faux-Mexican accent most of the time. Gringo.

I've lived in California my whole life, and when people hear my voice, they wonder what country I'm from. I've started saying I'm from Liverpool. And they always buy it.

Yes, I know Liverpool isn't a country. Most people don't even think it's a city.

People often seem to gather from my accent that I'm from Edinburgh.

Looks like those elocution lessons are paying off.
