blog readers, i am a conflict-avoidant person In Real Life. that's part of coming from the pacific northwest. most of us are just natural born chillers, and if you never leave the northwest then you basically just get to chill constantly until you die. not me. i HAD to move away. for Life Experience and whatnot.
American regions annoy me.
"Pacific Northwest" - there's no Pacific on the east, so why add the "west" part? Alaska is farther northwest and on the Pacific, so shouldn't
that be the "Pacific Northwest"? Your "Pacific Northwest" is south of what we know simply as Canada's "West Coast". (maybe we should say "Pacific Southwest")
"Eastern Seaboard" - what the hell is a sea
board? Why not "East Coast" or "Eastern States"?
"New England" - yeah, there's actual historical reasons, but it's stupid when somebody says "I'm a New Englander". Pick a fucking state.
"Bible Belt" - WTF?
Canada is much more sensible with our West Coast, East Coast (or Maritimes), Prairies, Central Provinces and North.
