this is not a surprise since I pretty much spent most of my life in Cali. but give me a year in the midwest and i might just start talking like a Chicagoan. oh, my!

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

back in May I wrote a review of it here:

I didn't like it as much as I'd wished. I do love Scarlett, and of course it has my wonderful Cillian in a small part and gorgeous Colin Firth. but there's not much happening between the characters. I wanted more.

love your icon!!!

I lived in Sacramento for 13 years, and graduated from CSU Sacramento. Also I went to grad school in Humboldt - Arcata. was there for three years. Also, when I was young, from age 4-7, I lived in Sunnyvale. my dad was working in Menlo Park. I also spent 9 years in Colorado (Lakewood, a suburb of Denver), and was born in Virginia. So we've moved all over!! I lived in Seattle and Port Angeles Washington, and now am in Chicago. I'm a wanderer...
I definitely have a "California' or west coast accent. but now I'm in the midwest so who knows...

Wow, you've been all over northern california and many other places. How was Colorado? Did you ski or snowboard? ^_^

The only time I traveled around the country was during my medical school interview months. I flew to a lot of places on the east coast and the midwest. Too bad my stay was always too short! I've never actually explored Chicago. I heard it's a great city! I want to visit sometime and see for myself!

I pick random accents very quickly. When I interviewed at Duke Univerisity last year for med school, I was there for a few days. I thought I picked up a little southern. Ha! Who knows?

Colorado, from what I remember, was beautiful and a great place to grow up. I'm sure it's changed since I was a youngster there, but I remember the snow, the mountains all around, and many summers of camping and hiking. no I never skiied or snowboarded - my parents were not athletic types and never taught us, though my sister did learn. I was a bookworm, never much of an athlete.

yes, Chicago is a great city - very big and overwhelming to live here, but it's a great place to visit. you should check it out!!

I think a southern accent is easy to pick up if you're around it a lot. I knew someone who spent a year in Australia and ended up sounding like an Aussie!
