Beth. 22, engaged to the wonderful jimenhimself, and pretty much enjoying every aspect of my life. Despite being bipolar, and having some unknown medical issues, life has given me a rare gem in Jim, and there's no way I'd be as happy as I am without him. If you've followed me for a hot minute, you will have seen many nude pictures uploaded. Those are gone, with the exception of a few "artsy" ones. Obviously, I can't delete something completely once it's on the internet, but that phase is pretty much over, so if you're looking at my icon and going "oh awesome, I can skype her and she'll send me nudes", you're in the wrong neighborhood mother fucker. If you are into cosplay, video games, cats, the occasional bondage, and stupid text posts, then feel free to stick around! Anything tagged as "me" or "beth-is-god" belongs to me. Everything else is considered public domain, and will be removed upon request.

The Invisible Borders That Define American Culture
One of the clearest regional differences in the U.S. can found by tracking the words people use to refer to soft drinks, which is in fact the map you saw at the top of this story. Pop or soda, or even Coke, these small linguistic differences are not as small as we might think. While “soda” commands the Northeast and West Coast (green) and “pop” is in between (black), “Coke” reigns in the south (turquoise). These small distinctions can often act as touchstones for larger cultural differences.
