dragonlady7Everyone's taking this quiz. "I thought I took that one already," I thought. I went and looked at it. It's not the one I took before.
Which is interesting, as I am a lifelong resident of New York State, and could plausibly be placed either in their Northeast grouping or their Great Lakes grouping (although I haven't been in Buffalo long enough to reasonably have the accent, it does come out at times and astonish me). But no. I instead possess the no-accent of a place I've never been. How nice to hear I'd be good at radio. That's actually been said before.
Another thing: Z is nearly done with the new calendar website for his newspaper. While browsing he discovered that the coffeehouse where the NaNoWriMo writing group meets is actually a church. Did I know this? No, I had no idea, despite having been there at least half a dozen times.
I'm serious. The coffee house is a church. I am not making this up.
Z: They're a Khristian Koffee Kult!
me: ?????????????!!!!!!!!!
I don't know whether I feel better or worse for having tipped them generously.
Actually the idea of spending Friday evening at a church service wherein you can sit on a couch sipping a cappucino would be pretty compelling if they weren't, you know, fundie whackjobs. (I have trouble with the Biblical Infallibility sorts. I'm sorry, I need a little interpretation laid on that shit. It don't make sense if you're trying to be literal about it. No offense. At least the Catholics have a "don't try this at home" clause.)
Meanwhile I'm already at 14000 words and I haven't transitioned to the next act, so I'm running over on wordcount, but at least I'm progressing quickly. As long as I do a major scene every day or two the wordcount shouldn't matter too much.
But I have an assload of laundry to do. Nnnngh.
| What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. | |

Date: 2006-11-03 06:53 pm (UTC)They just don't mention anywhere that it's a church.
I didn't notice.
It's weird.
I mean, it's cool, I just... I just sort of can't trust them. But then, this is Buffalo. We're really mellow, even when we're religious freaks.

Except for the abortion clinic bomber. Yes, that was Buffalo.
You just never know with this sort of thing. Eeek!
