starts with c ends with onnecticut

ok so let me fill some big ct natives in on a little secret here. Yknow, i grew up in ct - hated it like the entire time, and still dont necessarily like going back (well, not for the state itself at least). I had no connecticut pride, thought it was ridiculously lame, and whatever. UNTIL, that is, I moved to a place where people literally think connecticut is a part of canada. Or they're like "where you from" and I'm like "Connecticut" and they're like "Connecticut where?" expecting it to be some town in Pennsylvania or something. Yes lady, im from Connecticut City, New Jersey - let's move on. Honestly, I deal with people for a living. My official job title at times is probably "schmoozer" because thats what I do. I talk to people and get them to like me. Now, these people are from all over the country - from different states every week and i am basically their tour guide in the LA area in a way. I LOVE to play the game "guess where I'm from" with the people my age and younger. They ask where Im from and I tell them I could probably give them 40 guesses before they guess which state I'm from. And it works!! People DO NOT KNOW connecticut unless they were taught the alphabetized state song, then connecituct is like the 4th state rattled off. haha, i;ve had people think New England was a state. Ive told people it started with a "C" and then they guessed "Centucky." hahaha, that poor girl. so ive done a 180 in my take on the big CT. in fact, i want a Connecticut shirt badly. CT REPRESENT!!!!! holla back at me my peeps from the S Dub?
