What Do Other People Think About Jersey?

I went home to Virginia for about 10 days over the holidays, and everybody wanted to know about "Jersey".  They would ask questions like:  How are you getting along with those rude people?  Partying hard at the Jersey Shore?  Have you met Snooki? Crazy thing is, I didn't see any difference in my friends in Virginia then I did in New Jersey. It's funny what people think of our beloved Garden State, but if they visit once an a while, I think they will be pleasantly surprised.

I've heard people think Jersey is:

-The armpit of America

-The Party City  (thank you MTV Jersey Shore)

I could go on and on about this.  I, however, love living in Jersey!
