I proudly live in Western Mass
it's pretty empty over here, but, uh, we've got Bill Cosby?
I've lived in a few states in my life, and I can say with confidence that Massachusetts is my absolute FAVORITE. Sure, the weather does suck, but I love the people that live here and I adore their ideals. *waves the gay pride flag around* Massachusetts is full of highly intelligent people, with sophisticated views, and I'll probably want to live here my whole life.
I hope to go out east more when I switch from my two year college to a four year one, but if I don't I'll probably end up going to UMass Amherst, and that's not a bad option at all. I love the size of our state too--it's nice to be able to go to the other side of the state in under 3 hours (in fact, only two days ago I was on Cape Cod and in Boston. It rocked).
So, hurray for the Chickadee and the Fluffernutter Sandwiches!
