Thanks, Dana. I decided to change it and err on the side of caution.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Growing up in Maryland I was raised to say AppaLAYshun, but a friend of mine in college who grew up in Tennessee convinced me it was AppaLATCHen and I've never been able to go back.
I live within hollerin' distance of the Appalachians, and the version I hear 98% of the time is AppaLAYshun.
But we also have 2 neighborhoods in the city that people pronounce 2 different ways, so we're unreliable like that.
Cheviot = (1) SHEV-eeyut, (2) SHIV-ee-ut.
Mariemont = (1) Ma-REE-mont, (2) MARY-mont.
I say it the first way in both cases. (My brother is a smart ass and pronounces Cheviot as faux-French: SHEV-wah.)

Snow now? What's with Utah this year? Didn't you guys have relatively warm weather while we on the East Coast were digging out from record snows? I thought by this time of year, you all were supposed to go skiing in shorts.
For the past few years, our winters have shifted to later in the season. We'll get surprisingly balmy weather into December but have measurable snow into May. I was expecting this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who wouldn't?? You should hear me say Detroit.
I just had my last meeting for my now former job. Aw! I have to send some farewell emails and make a couple of calls, but that's it! Crazy.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I live in NC and my sis definitely went to AppaLATCHen State University.
In NC we have BOW-fert and SC they have BYU-fert. Both are spelled Beaufort.

I've recently noticed that people pronounce my new state in different ways. Call-a-RAD-o and Col-or-AH-doe. Strange.

I think the closest Buffista to Johnson City, TN is probably Emily (isn't she near Blackburg?)
As someone whose parent attended Mariemont High School and lived there until yesterday (they just moved out to Oxford, "downsizing" to a house that is technically bigger, whatever). Steph you are saying it all wrong! Definitely MARY-mont. Are you from the West Side or something? Do we need to have a Cincinnati throwdown?

That's like the nuh-VAD-a that people in NV apparently say.
