I moved to Philadelphia this summer and I work with girls from Camden and Cherry Hill who are just like this. One is about 4 feet tall, alot like snookies, who sounds exactly like Rosie Perez.
It was annoying at first and now it's quite charming.
It's amazing how much they talk about matrial posessions tho.
One is moving into a house and was complaing that her 42 inch hd looked like a computer monitor in her new living room. She said she is going to Delaware to get a 50+incher tonight, tax free. And all the while they are under the impression that I am totally captivated and can relate to their problem.
