It's official.
It's old-fish-hill.
It's Danielle Fishel!
North Carolina officially owns my ass.
Just this very morning, I received a fancy looking letter from the president of the Tarheels. He told me that I had better start learning to love grits, hate turn signals and to knock "pop" right out of my vocabulary when referring to a frosty, carbonated beverage.
I have to say, I feel a little guilty for turning my back on Indiana for tuition purposes. I mean, most people are not knocking down the door to the Hoosier doublewide, begging for residency. And I think that's unfortunate as many Midwesterners are terribly pleasant and are willing to stare at you intently for several uncomfortable minutes just to figure out whether or not they know you.
Not every state will do that for you.
But now I belong to North Carolina.
And as a taxpaying resident of North Carolina, I would like to voice my first complaint.
If Krispy Kreme was started in this state, why the hell is the closest one an hour away?
Billy Graham is going to pissed when I tell him.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! what have they done to you???? do i need to come there and break you free of those bonds they've shackled you with??? and dude...krispy kreme is an HOUR away?? well how the heck are you supposed to know if the hot and ready light is on?? that just sucks. i miss your face.
So happy you finally committed! Very soon you will start to love it. ;)
Don't forget about all those music students at IU who really wanted to be considered Indiana residents. As a local Hoosier, I felt like I got all kinds of grief from other music students about how unfair it was that I paid so little, while it was virtually impossible for them to become residents.
Or maybe I just had bitchy friends.
Another good ass lost to the south, no wonder they feel like they will rise again.
so you're officially a midwesterner turned "yankee" like me, now! cuz i never was referred to as a yankee until living south of the mason-dixon. :)
That's just not right about the Krispy Kreme. What the hell's wrong with them??
Haha XD Hope you like NC!

At least you HAVE a Krispy Kreme. They closed absolutely every single one around here down a long time ago. The only place I can get Krispy Kreme is at the gas station and I feel like those probably fell off the back of a truck or are several years old or something.
Oh and congrats on becoming an NC citizen. Baltimore isn't too far away you know. (Yes it is, but you should still come for a visit one day!)
This makes me happy because I am moving there!!!!
NO!!!! You shouldn't have to give up the word "Pop!!" That is the MOST horrible thing EVAH!
In MN we say pop and stare at people trying to figure out if we know them too! However, I lived in WI for a while, so I now say soda and my brother stares at me trying to figure out if he knows me. Does this make sense?
what happened to krispy kreme? they went through a phase where they were all over the place and now they are gone-zo. i think it's this lame health kick everyone seems to be on these days. it's no good.
Wait. What does this all mean.
You are scaring me. I have big plans for you. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
I need you to smack me with a Krispy Kreme and tell me to get a hold of myself.
Yay for coming down South! And grits...YUM!!!
though i'm not from north carolina i've lived here long enough to bestow a heartfelt welcome on behalf of the state. you can even pretend i have a southern accent and a pick up truck (i don't). i also don't eat grits on scrambled eggs (gross) or have an IV drip of sweet tea. but, yeah. welcome.
HOWWWWWDY!
How much do I love that you use the Danielle Fishel translation of official?
This much!
Congrats on your new old fish hill residency!
Hmph.
*crosses arms and turns away*
Haha. Love this post. And don't worry - the lack of turn signals runs throughout the South. You are not alone in your pain.
I have totally been staring at people to figure out if I know them. When they realize what's happening I typically offer a half wave to see if they return it. If they do, I must know them. So then I hide.
Moral of the story? I need new glasses.
Isn't Billy Graham in Georgia?? Oh wait...maybe that's Jimmy Carter. I get those 2 confused all the time.
