I guess I don't know where I'm from. =/

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

North Central. This is what everyone calls a "Minnesota accent." If you saw "Fargo" or "Drop Dead Gorgeous" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Some Americans may mistake you for a Canadian.

Northern. Whether you have the world famous Inland North accent of the Great Lakes area, or the radio-friendly sound of upstate NY and western New England, your accent is what used to set the standard for American English pronunciation (not much anymore now that the Inland North sounds like it does).

Midland. The Midland (please don't confuse with "Midwest") itself is the neutral zone between the North and South. But just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from there. Since it is considered a neutral, default, "non-regional" accent you could easily be from someplace without its own accent, like Florida, or a big city in the South like Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!
We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

in which I may have listened to Butch a little bit )

I'm kind of a little bit obsessed with both Lefty & Wreck Me right now.

One last response to the interests/icon meme. This time from [livejournal.com profile] rockerlee.

Firefly - Joss Whedon's brilliant show about space pirates. And silly hats.

MaryJanice Davidson - A Minnesota author who writes about vampires and such. I was really into her when her first books came out, but I've kind of cooled off on her stuff now.

the comedy of hate - I went over this one a couple posts down. It's a Bill Hicks thing.

SNL did a spoof of Black Snake Moan when Rainn Wilson hosted earlier this year. This is from that.
