Hmm. How action-packed last weekend was. How void of action this week has been.

Last weekend, I was pissed off Bethies. This week, I've been sick Bethies. This weekend,I'll be reflective, thoughtful Bethies.

Jenn says that I see myself in two parts, the social fun-loving me who loves to drink, dance, and feel people up. And then there's the other me, the serious, slightly anal-retentive, (usually) intelligent me who I allow the people I trust and love to see. Apparently this isn't a Jekyl/Hyde type deal, it's a siamese-twin-we-share-organs type deal. If one half of me goes, so does the other and it's in my best interest to incorporate the two. Anyone have any idea how I do this? Do I tell the guy I'm chatting up I've chosen Charles Wright as my topic for dissertation and could you grab me another Heinekin? the 40 oz please?

Actually, I met someone I like sunday, and don't plan to do any chatting up until I see how things are going there. I got confirmation from Justin that Dixie may be one of his stopping points. Rah!!! So when thinking of what to show someone from San Francisco who has never been to South Carolina, I came up with these few ideas:

Barbeque. South Carolina has the best BBQ of any state in the union. And even better if it's what we so charmingly call a "Pig Picking" which involves skewering a hog and cooking it on a spit.

South of The Border. A must-see for any tourist.

The Confederate Flag, or our version of it. I love what Chris Matthews would call a "powder keg" of controversy, and around here it does pretty well.

The Waffle House. My brother says he doesn't see them on the West Coast. What? No grits? You gotta have grits.

The Skyline Club. Ride the Mechanical Bull!

Oh, and speaking of good news, Alan is moving on with life. This makes me very happy.
