After something like 23 (!) years of knowing each other, something incredible is in the works for this month: I am actually going to meet
brinshannara live and in person! She is coming to town for a work thing and this is really going to happen, omgomgomg.

b) If VA is south of the Mason-Dixon line, doesn't that make it decidedly NOT Yankee? ;)
c) I love how you and I met within months of encountering each other online while S and I are at about the 23 year mark, hahaha. Life is wild.

My dad actually used "Yankee" as an insult. "Don't eat like that: that's how Yankees eat." I doubt he was being completely serious, but it stuck with me. Oh, and Texans (and probably other Southerners) will DEFINITELY look sideways at someone from over the pond who refers to them as "Yanks." ;)
I, of course, deplore the whole love-the-Confederacy mindset a lot of people have around here. Makes me sick. I'm hoping that my generation is the last to remember using "Yankee" as an insult.
