Is it just me, or is the majority of people here from Maine?

Theresa · **Tue Feb 03, 2004 9:11 pm**

It's just you,

There are only 2 1/2 of us fortunate people,

Anti-crombie1 · **Tue Feb 03, 2004 9:14 pm**

yea, three people on here are from maine, but only two are stuck here

Theresa · **Tue Feb 03, 2004 9:16 pm**

True. ATM, though... I just have to get a non-crappy car, and save some money, and GO!

But I'll be back,

I'm weird, I love Maine, sue me.

IntrepidIsMe · **Wed Feb 04, 2004 4:39 pm**

Gosh, I like Maine

Been there

DemonClassY · **Wed Feb 04, 2004 5:59 pm**

I guess its just that all of the people from Maine are "active" users, and that makes them more noticable.

Jeff Miller · **Wed Feb 04, 2004 6:14 pm**

lol Well I divide my time between Maine and Mass (although I have to say it's not an even divide, but that's only b/c I go to school in RI) I'm spread all through New England but I do love Maine so much. I was half raised there: my mum is a "Mainah"

Theresa · **Thu Feb 05, 2004 9:48 am**

I made sure growing up that I used my "r"s, so I don't have a distinct Maine accent. It's kind of irritating now because people at work, customers, don't usually believe I was born and raised here. They think I'm from "away",

I can do it if I want to, though, but it has to be a conscious thought. 'Cah', lol. I do have a New England accent, though. And now I even sound American according to Thomas,

Wow, how odd

PicardsTrueLove · **Thu Feb 05, 2004 6:13 pm**

lol another Maine favorite: "Lobstah, deah?" (lobster, dear?)

In the comic Non Sequitor, they all went to New England. It was great reading the one aunt's dialect

A customer asked me where I was from yesterday. I told her the town. She said, "yeah, but what state?" I was like, Maine... She told me no way, because I didn't have a Maine accent! I was so offended! She said I sounded like a southerner because of the way I said 18.

As she was leaving, she said, "Y'all have a good night now, ya hear?" I stuck my tongue out at her,

Mature, I know,

Pooooor, darling T! My brother once told me I sound Southern when I sing o.O

People say that Pittsburghers have different accents, too. We pronounce words fully, unlike a lot of people. Like instead of saying "wada", we actualy pronounce all of the consonence like "water". I don't know thats what the people from west virginia and ohio say.

Everything I ever learned about Maine came from Stephen King

IntrepidIsMe · **Fri Feb 13, 2004 6:34 pm**

Oh, gawsh. I can't read his stuff, it gets boring.

DemonClassY · **Mon Feb 16, 2004 5:29 pm**

Stephen King is a genius. His stories are so good. I find it hard to not like something of his.

IntrepidIsMe · **Mon Feb 16, 2004 5:48 pm**

I like some of his stuff, but the stuff he writes isn't all that interesting to me.

Starbuck · **Mon Feb 16, 2004 6:17 pm**

Theresa · **Mon Feb 16, 2004 6:32 pm**

He is.

Kate Janeway · **Mon Feb 16, 2004 6:34 pm**

What kind of stuff does he write?
