1) Where in Raleigh?

2) I want a BLT+Avocado.
Downtown Raleigh was staying with my sister and her boyfriend for a bit. Lived about 4 blocks from the capitol building there. Then I moved to Durham and lived across the street from the south something mall.

I am really really hungry now damn it.

On the bright side you live in Shelbyville now. At last that's what we call it on this side of the river.

Am I right to guess North Raleigh?

I used to wear an onion on my belt when in Shelbyville, as it was the style at the times.

It's getting so that you can't tell the Carolinas apart anymore.

Very sad....

Did anyone seriously think that NC was not going to vote yes for amendment 1? The moment I heard what it was, I knew without a doubt it would pass with no trouble. I mean, if California can vote for that sort of thing (home to San Francisco), there's no way NC wasn't going to.

Although I have only lived in the state for the past eight years, I have had family in North Carolina all of my life. I actually think that the difference is more pronounced now than it has been at any point in my lifetime.

Yeah, you're pretty much right. I mean, I've been exposed to several sides of NC. I lived in Asheville for about 6 years, (which has many liberals and a significant homosexual community) and I was born and now currently live in Johnston County, (which is a rural, rightwing area). People from the Triangle and Cary kinda scoff at it, but I'm proud to call it home. That being said, I'm afraid it's going to remain stagnant when it comes to the progression of basic human rights. The rural areas with conservatives outnumber the metropolitan areas with more left leaning citizens.

You feel that? Sure you do.

That's a big ol' Luke hug.
