Apparently, us people from CT are supposed to have 'the closest thing to proper English' for our accent... I don't know if that's right, but I've been told that my accent consists of actually pronouncing all of my words, especially letters that can be slurred... like 'T's. Rather than saying 'Wanna go here?' I unconsciously take the time to say 'Want to go here?'
Though since going to school, I've been known to mimic some of my friend's Boston accents... "I'm gonna go paaaaak the caaaaa."

LOL - I love that Boston (or is it NYC?) accent. My brother in-law and sister bought a new car, and negotiated a 5 year bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage with this 35 yr old woman - policy maker at the Toyota dealership. Her accent came out after a few sentences, but I loved it.
As far as I know, I don't have an accent. I have a dull, boring, American english voice that sounds too plain. Go me!
Hope if I ever move to a different country (preferrably Australia), I'll have guys and girls asking me where I'm from alot. I could form an accent if I wanted to, but what the hell for?
And for the record, I hate the southern accent. God, I've been prejudiced into thinking Texans and such are just dumber by the way they talk

- which of course isn't true - its just a damn flaw of mine.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
