Since moving into a hotel, I have been watching significantly more TV than I usually do. I think I have finally caught up on my Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami episodes. I missed all of the shows leading up to Kourtney getting pregnant. I didn't start obsessing over the Kardashians until Kourtney was already pregnant. So pretty much every show before that, I have missed.
To save some face, I have been watching a lot of History Channel as well. I don't think I had ever watched the History Channel for more than five minutes at a time before, but now I watch it for hours at a time. I must miss school or something. I just finished watching the second half of a show about Maine and Florida. The hosts spend part of the show interviewing people about their perspectives of the state, whether they be outsiders or natives. Its quite funny that states have each developed their own little stereotypes.
A combo of this intrigue and my sheer boredom gave me a great idea. I'm going to go done the list of states and say the first word(s that comes to mind whenever I think of that state. Ready? Here we go.
P.S. Hopefully, this doesn't offend any of you. Its all in good fun.

Hahaha... so many of these made me laugh. Michigan (because I'm from OH) and Wyoming were both great!
I think I ran out of words at Arkansas! I know nothing about around half the states, which is really bad.
No worries! Not sure I could come up with good generalizations/stereotypes for the countries of the United Kingdom, except for Scottish kilts.
