HELL NO.

Anyone who knows me well knows my grudge against rednecks, having lived in sea of right-winged trailer-trash-Joe rednecks for upwards of 15 years now.

Am I goin a little SOUTHERN?

Possibly.

I'd say you wouldn't have to look very hard to find out I'm a western girl. I love and know everything about the rodeo parade, I have a soft spot for animals, I'm a shorts-wearing, Roxy-toting, Route 66 girl.

Now somehow I have found myself going southern. (NO, not because I love the movie Cars. It's reverse: I'm into Cars BECAUSE I'm into southern stuff lately.)

Dad and I watched Indycar Racing the other day. I watched for a minute or so expecting to lose interest quickly and just got HOOKED. Nascar was even MORE awesome. My grampa's a nascar-addict, so maybe I get it from him, but I thought it was just awesome.

I've ALWAYS been into New Orleans style stuff; anyone who knows vaguely who I am knows that.

Now I HATE most country music, (mostly because I'm sick of hearing singers whine about losing their jobs, cars, girlfriends, whatever.) but I'm way into Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow, Rascal Flats, and Tim McGraw lately. Seriously, WTF?

I'm a California girl forever, but what the hell's up with these weird Southern Bell thing that's popped up all of the sudden?

I dunno.

All I know is that Popop would be awfully proud of himself if he knew.
