Am I Southern Yet?

I've wanted to live in the south for as long as I can remember.  Actually, probably ever since I saw Sweet Home Alabama.  That movie instantly became one of my favorites and still is today.  I loved the way Melanie took off to a whole new world and then realized she still had a soft spot for home, too.  That movie taught me about having roots & wings, I've wanted both ever since. I'm the opposite of Melanie though, I grew up in the North and have been dying to get to the South.  I didn't grow up in the city, but lived close enough to New York City and Philadelphia to love and experience them often.  I appreciate and embrace the chaos.  The simplicity, charm and hospitality of the south is what I've been missing.  When I didn't go to college down here, I knew I'd be moving asap after graduation.  My friends even called me a Southern Belle all throughout college and I kinda loved it.  I'm finally here and love every minute of it.  So, am I southern yet?
