I came to a realization yesterday. Its a thought I have had before but I was reminded of it again. The rude reputation that people from New Jersey have in the eyes of the rest of the country may be true. I used to think others judged NJ without actually knowing it. Then I went to Indianapolis and Ohio and saw how friendly strangers were in other parts of the country. Yesterday I went to dinner with Danielle and her friends. Some friends were so nice. I had never met them and they treated me like we were bffs. They were the out of towners. Then another person came that I didn't know. He was funny and friendly and including everyone in conversations. Later in the evening i found out that hes from Tennessee. If im from here and I can see the difference. Imagine what other people think when Jersey comes to them.

Ha! I think it's the environment. I never knew anyone who left there who a) wanted to return, and b) wasn't a pretty decent sort.
They were all sad that you didn't come hang out after.
