I somehow found myself in an Irish pub where the musicians played "American Pie".

Not in the close-minded "AMERICA RULES! ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES ARE LAME!" way, but just in the "sigh, I miss home... this place is weird and unfamiliar to me." way. <br /><br />And being surrounded by people from all over the US (my hubby's coworkers and such) has made me realize that while I never thought of myself of being very southern (I don't find the John Deere logo cute and I hate hunting... and country music), I am apparently quite southern nonetheless.
