Description
I was born in San Angelo, TX, and raised in California---but I still have a Texas drawl that makes mesound like Sandy Squirrel on Spongebob Squarepants.
Once in a while, I get an attitude and feel like flaunting my Texas roots. 
I put some text over a picture of a Texas flag, and this is more of a "badge" than an actual stamp, but what the heck...enjoy!

Born and raised in Houston but now I live south west of it in a place called Land of the Sugar (was once the headquarters of the Imperial Sugar factory)

Nice! And that is so true.
I'm actually the opposite--born in California, but moved to Texas at about 4 months old and as of right now still living there.

How do you like it there?

It's mostly an unfair opinion, since I've lived most of my life in southeast Texas, but I like it there. I'm actually fond of the humidity, however I just don't like that there's lots of chemical plants. I've been to the Hill Country a couple of times, I've found it to be okay, but too dry.

I'm the opposite. Born in Cali and after a few years in Washington was sent to TX.
I must of gone to the wrong part of Texas though, 'cause it seems that everyone else loves it and I downright hated living there (hot weather XP)

I've only been back there a handful of times, and the last time was in the fall and Hurricane Waldo was on its way (this was in '85). But yep, I imagine it gets horribly hot, especially in the mid part of it.

Not just the heat, the humidity! I can hardly leave the house in the summer.
That and the churches... I don't think I truly hated religion until I moved to Texas.

The heat is bad enough anywhere without the humidity. We have it pretty bad here in Cali during the summer, but not as bad as other places. Like Florida, which I love any other time, but it's horrible in summer.

I prefer Cali summers. But I used to live near the ocean, so you get that nice cool breeze going and everything's good.
Florida summers are some of the worst.

I'm in the Central Valley, so the nearest ocean is probably about three or four hours away, darn it. But it is must better on the coast.
And oh, yes---Florida is horrible in summer! The very first time I went was in August 1999, for a get-together with some friends. It was so humid, my glasses steamed up right on my face.

Its so nice on the coast! Of course now I'm all landlocked... but its all good, nice and chilly for me, I can actually survive a summer.
Oh you poor thing! How on earth do people breathe in that kind of weather?

That's good. And I don't know how people stand it either...I guess if they've lived there long enough, they're used to it---or they just sit under their coolers all day.

Its as good of an explanation as any

Central Texas, Ft. Hood, are you from there too?

Nope, I'm from San Angelo. Haven't been back to S.A. since I was a baby, but I've visited other
parts of Texas since then.

HUZZAH FOR US DISPLACED TEXANS!
Drives me crazy when my bloody teachers constantly snipe at my accent! They wouldn't be laughing so hard if they could hear what they sounded like.... grr....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YAHOO!!!
Yeah, don't ya hate it when people mock our accent? Tell your teachers to knock it off---you don't have to take that junk. I'm proud to talk the way I do. Are any of them from the Bronx? (You could have a whole lotta fun with that...

Good Lord, I hate California accents. They overuse "like". It just sounds....stupid. Ugh. Now a Southern drawl....that just screams sophistication. My relatives from my dad's side are all Southern, which allows much Yankee-snubbing. (: It's great when my teachers snub my accent and then I get to watch the expressions on their faces when I get the highest grade in the class on all my tests and projects. Hah.

(Good for you!
California accents roll off of me, but it's the ATTITUDE that really cheeses me off. Some of them
are really down on Southerners---which is stupid, since it was Southerners who helped build California in the first place.
About 80% of my family is in the South; my mom was born and raised in Ohio, but her people came from Tennessee. 
fine with me having an accent (though he's never actually heard it). 
Comedienne Brett Butler (from the show Grace Under Fire), who's from Alabama, told
about a guy from Brookyln who said to her after a show (his is how she did his accent):
"Ya know, ya pritty good. I usyally don' like people from da South...dey all soun' so STOOPID when dey talk!"
And she was thinking: "Oh, Arturo, Prince of Irony..."
