Well that was about what I was expecting

Actually I lied a little. I grew up calling Coke "soder pop" but quickly changed my ways once I moved out to California. Just like couches are no longer davenports to me. And Suisse Mocha - pronounced it Sussy Mocha until I was 10. My mom still pronounces it that way.

I am from Iowa originally

[gray-ghost.livejournal.com]

Around the area of Sioux City. Also known as "SOOOOOEEEEEE" City (you know...like when you call hogs =) ). Sioux City is famous far and wide for it's wonderful smelling slaughter houses.

Anyway, we moved to California when I was 14....because my dad got laid off from work and my mom couldn't find a nursing job that paid more than 7/hr in any of the small towns. I think that's part of reason I have negative view of Iowa. California treated my family much better =)
