New England Moment

Today, I had an only in New England moment on the way home. I was listening to the radio and heard the snippet about "donning your cheese head and dog mask", regarding tailgating.

I was listening and thought to myself, "How can you 'darn' something. You'd have to 'don' it."

It never occurred to me that they weren't speaking with The Accent. If you're from outside of this area, don and darn are pronounced almost exactly the same, with the slight exception that darn may be pronounced dahhn, as opposed to dohn.

It took me five minutes to realise that dahhn was simply the guy's way of pronouncing "don".

Only in New England.

Ugh

I'm writing good and creative about writing little subjecty thingies.

I'm cranky and I have cramps. They were worse before the calicum chewies I had. I guess the nurse was right about it helping. I have no attention span tonight. We're watching Drawn Together again. Same ep as last night, still as funny.

I could be putting away the shit from Wal*Mart buuuut I don't feel like it. I kind of want to brush my teeth and go to bed. I also want something cold to drink, even though I have tea.

All right, I'm still cranky.

I'm getting the itch to cut my hair all short and cute, like I see on TV. I know it wouldn't look good on me, but jesus, I want short hair again. It'll pass in a couple days.

Ooh, snow tomorrow. I want a white Christmas.
