*throws up redneck pride!* I'm from the midwest, where redneck and hillbilly like to combine and become the laughing stalk of the world :D It's nice.
I feel ya on the accent. People look at me so strangely when I speak and they're not used to it. But I love it. I love my swing to my words, my mumbles, and my slang. :)
I didn't realize there were so many people from the South on here. Georgia born and raised!
