I don't drive an American car. When I was buying my car, it was presumed that I'd have the family member employee discount (because seriously, EVERYONE up here does), and the quotes they gave me were for those. Then I had to say that no, I really don't have a single family member who works for you guys. No really. No one. Seriously.
I don't snowmobile, ice fish, or ski. I'm so anti-winter. I go into hibernation mode from about October through May. If our families weren't here, we wouldn't be here.
You're probably right though. I don't know a ton of people here who like snow and cold. They're around, but I don't know too many of them.
I don't do any extreme sports, I don't have a degree in forestry/engineering/geology/, I don't shop locally (sorrynotsorry), I don't cloth diaper/compost/have backyard chickens. My H doesn't work in a mine, or isn't a retired athlete or oilman like the rest of his age demographic. He also doesn't make bread, raise bees, or drive a car that runs on vegetable oil that he shares with his neighbor's. We only have one kid, and her name is not derivative of her natural surroundings. I could go on. This town is fascinated by us, we are an anomaly.
I totally want to visit your town. It sounds strangely fascinating!
Everything about me, apparently, says I should live in the Pacific Northwest (coffee, liberal, nonconfrontational, enjoy crunchy things, microbrews). I've never even visited there.
I'm black.-there's people of all races and nationalities in my area but people in other states don't assume so.
I'm liberal I'm married and childless (not by choice) I've never been on a horse, gone hunting, or "floated the river". Nobody in my extended family lives on a farm that we all head to once a year. I don't own guns. I don't own cowboy boots.
I already posted my MI one in the other thread, but I'll C&P here.
Michigan: I don't really know what Euchre is (besides a card game), I don't like coney dogs, I hate hunting, I don't go "Up North," I don't have a nasally-accent or say "pop," I'm not a Tigers fan.
Massachusetts: I don't eat seafood or chowdah, I don't have a New England accent, I don't drive like a blind idiot, I don't go to Dunks everyday (anymore), I don't use the words "pocketbook," "carriage," "bubbler," or "wicked," I don't worship the Wahlbergs and Afflecks, I don't smoke or have cirrhosis of the liver.

I don't swim in the ocean (afraid of it), but love the beach lol
I hate the Lakers.
I am a huge Red Sox fan.
I've never had extensions or plastic surgery/Botox, etc.
I rarely enjoy shopping, and hate trying on clothes. I also don't care about name brands. If I like something, and it fits/looks good, I get it. I don't care if it's Target or Marc Jacobs.
