because i have one parent from the cold frozen north, one parent from the deep south, and grew up in the southwest, i have the ability to speak in a totally unrecognizable accent. add to that, when i was living in miami, my spanish was immediately recognizable as being not-cuban. .-= last blog ..Run, ntodd, run! =-.

Because I was a military brat and my parents were from upstate New York, I have the ability to speak standard media English when I am not down here. But if I’m tired it creeps in.

i already know what they think. all of new england thought a martian had landed in their midst when i got there. people were quite literally stopping me on the street and starting up conversations with me just to hear me talk, and not because they thought i had anything interesting to say, either. .-= last blog ..Run, ntodd, run! =-.

Imagine what the people of New Jersey thing when they get off the beaten path down here. 😉

What planet do people like this live on? dunno about the rest of the people, but new jersey is another planet. the same year i drove my little chevette from here to new england and back, was the first time i'd ever been in new jersey. i pulled into one of those 'rest stops' om the turnpike that's filled with gas stations and fast food joints, walked into the wendy's or whichever, and could not for life of me understand what the people around me were saying. took me a few minutes to realize that they were all speaking english, in a jersey accent. .-= last blog ..Run, ntodd, run! =-.
