After tedious efforts to put my finger on what is so different about the people in Chicago as compared to other places I've lived I think I have finally figured something out. This is obviously a generalization, but this is what I've come up with in my one month of living here and meeting the handful of people I have.
People from Chicago or the surrounding suburbs are the people from your high school who received Best Personality their senior year. We all know Best Personality doesn't go to those who are necessarily the most entertaining of the bunch, but they are the nicest people you will ever meet. They will succeed simply based upon their undeniable likeable sweet nature. They will laugh at all your jokes, even if they're not funny at all...but when you say something with the slightest distaste they get noticeably red faced, giggle inward, and request for you to "stop it"!
These are the people who keep you in line, and you love it because who else is going to regulate your life choices? Certainly not you. They make you believe in the fact that there is always, always an upside. And they drink water more than any other beverage.
It's wonderful.
...and...
I'M SO BORED.
