Welcome to Gaia! ::

One of my friends was from Texas but had a british father, so people would ask where she was from and she'd say "Texas" and they'd be like "Oh, that explains it" and I'd be like "No, her father's british" and they'd be like "OHH, THAT REALLY DOES EXPLAIN IT"

My grandma is from texas, the one that doesn't have much of an accent to me.... not the really southern one.

lol, northern Alabama has snow but I don't. I call my boyfriend a yankee even though Missouri was one of those in-between states. Once we had an pretend arguement where I accused him of personally raping southern women and stuff, since he's a northerner.

I was typing "cookies" ealier and almost typed "I'm making cockies" sweatdrop

And aww, my boyfriend and I have been together almost 3 years now, I'm hoping to move up to Missouri with him soon and stop being an online relationship ><

@Statistical: I use soda because it's a good, middle of the road term. I would never be able to adapt to calling it pop because for some reason that term really irks me. I think mostly it's 'cause I argued with my friend for so long about it just because I could, it would be like admitting defeat.

@Sir: Yeah, I don't have much of one even for somebody around here.

And I apparently remind a lot of people of somebody else, I get it all the friggin' time. Of course, the weirdest one is a co-worker who tells me I remind her of a Rainbow Brite character sweatdrop

I hear it most when I say "Ghosty" and "accent"

Hehe, Thank you! ^_^

Awesome, Texans are awesome.

Luckily, I have Texan in me 3nodding

I've talked to somebody who had a pleasant New Jersey accent.... her boyfriend, not so much. I mean, it's not bad, but it's not very sexy.

The other person I talked to I picked up on the New Jersey-ness of it before her, and then when she realized it she flipped out and was like "I love those accents"

I was like "Dude, it's a New Jersey accent, calm down."

But I can't really talk, I'm surrounded by southern accents and on the right guy I find them so sexy. At least she likes something out of the ordinary for where she lives.

i dont know if i have an accent...i have it when i speak spanish though XP
it crazy weird.

the vernacular here in the oc is weird....i never really understood it. but i go with it. (i tend to say "hella" (ie: hella cool, etc) and they assume im from nor cal...which is where people say it alot)

I dont understand how many people here say "like" like every single time? isnt it enough that like theres alot of stupid words and like phrases here?
even if the sentence doesnt like make any like sense...they still like have to use "like" like every time.

i want to strangle them. xp i feel my iq drop slowly when i converse with a cute girl or normal guy and they speak "like". total kill joy.
ill start randomly holding up figers everytime they say the word during conversation until they realize what im doing. i find it hilarious.
they dont haha.

ive noticed that alot of cali natives speak a little more slow and relaxed, like a rolling wave or crusing around. that might be part of our accent.

"like" really does truth in the "all californians are plastic incohearent and dumb" steriotype.
thankfully ive noticed that number go lower and lower as im getting older and older XP

i do the finger thing to those i know or those who i really dont like.
hehe gets a laugh from others in the area too.
i sometimes let the occasional "like" in there and i get ribbings from my friends too lol

Ha, I've got an American North East Coast kinda accent. But not the nEw Jersey or New York stuff. I live in Maryland. We aren't southern, but we aren't super northern ^^;. In my own opinion though, I think I'm pretty good at imitating accents. I'm even getting close to pinning down those crazy Russian accents! Christopher Walken is still however out of my reach. =(

Heh, yeah I get thrown off when people say "pop" too when they refer to soda. I just say Soda man! It's a sexier word! =D

A lot of talk about the New Jersey accent. I've got a friend who happens to be a girl who has a New Jersey Accent. It sounds great on her though with her attitude. She's got a subtlly in-your-face attitude. Not OUT THERE, but still very confident.

But my favorite accent of all time, even though French girls sound oh so wonderful, is an Authentic African Accent. Anyone see Hotel Rwanda(lol, I can't believe I'm using that movie as an example)? It's just so soft and delicate a voice!

EDIT: Heh, I forgot to put the word African inbetween Authentic and Accent
