OH Oh Pick me!!
I have similar feelings. In fact, while on mission, I made it a lifelong goal to never turn into a "Utah Mormon". While that sounds bad, it's a cultural thing that can sometimes git kind of quirky.
If you've ever spent a goodly amount of time in an orthodox Jewish suburb of Jerusalem, you'll know exactly what I mean. ;-)

Oh come on you guys. I am a Utah Mormon and proud of it. Yes, there is a Mormon culture here in Utah and sometimes we do have a difficult time separating the doctrine vs tradition. However, I have lived for several years outside of Utah and am the same person and practice the same beliefs and have the same faith no matter where I live.
