deb my dad is from
north carolina,
and he still has his accent
even though he's
lived in the midwest
forever-ish.
it's funny, though,
how stupid people are.
whenever someone at his work
asks him where he's from,
he says
"south omaha"
and they believe him!
all surprised,
"oh! i wouldn't have guessed!"
bunch of fucking morons

twiggie when i first moved to CT, everyone made fun of my minnesota accent. i never knew i had one. so i made fun of their accents. gradually over the 2 years following that i picked up the long island new york new england italian accent worse than everyone out there. then when i moved here everyone bothered me about that accent. it's faded though. i still say coffee "cwoffee", and when i'm angry i say everything like i used to.

but whenever i talk to my friends from CT over the phone they say i sound like bobby's mom on bobby's world.
i just can't win.

devalis When I went to camp, even the Canadian guy said that I had the thickest accent he'd ever heard. Everyone could tell that I was from Cleveland before I even told them so because of said accent. Weird. 020811
