She's from Boston

Ok, so I may not specifically be from Boston, MA but its a pretty good representation of what Massachusetts in general is like. Besides the obvious Boston accent, people from Mass tend to have some personality traits that at first someone make take as offensive, but honestly I'm proud of it. There is a huge list but here are a few that are completely true.

  • Anything west of Worcester is the boondocks...and you know how to pronounce Worcester.
  • The person driving in front of you is going 70 mph and you are cursing him for going too slow. You will most probably ride ass of said person until they move. (This is how I learned to drive, and believe that its the reason that I didn't rear-end the person in front of me during my accident because I'm used to tailgating)
  • You can navigate a rotary without a problem.
  • You think the rest of the country owes you for having things like Thanksgiving and independence.
  • You know how to use the words "WICKED" and "GOOD" together.
  • You know what the "BIG DIG" means, and have grown used to its inconvenience.
  • You would never say, Cape Cod. It's "The Cape."
  • You went to Old Sturbridge Village, Plymouth Plantation, or both, on a field trip in elementary school. (UGH too many times)
  • You can drive to the mountains and the ocean, all in one day.

Moving to Florida has been so much fun, but I really do miss Massachusetts a lot and I will always be a Cape/Boston girl <3


"She wears a Red Sox cap to hide her baby dreads.
The girl she was in New England
is different now and dead.
In all the local bars
, she flirts and tells the boys while they're talking
that
she's from Boston"
