 i know what you mean, being from alaska saved me.  if conversations weren't really flowing or they got a little awkward i just ended up talking about alaska.  people act like it's the other side of the globe...but then again a lot of people think we're tiny and next to hawaii because of how we're always shown on maps haha.
