What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)
North Central
What people call the "Minnesota accent." Sounds almost Canadian. You may have even been asked if you were from Canada before.

Western
Western is kind of neutral, but not quite since it's still possible to tell where you`re from. So you might not actually be from the West (but you probably are). If you really want to sound "neutral," learn how to say "stock" and "stalk" differently.

Oohh it is lovely :D But there aren't any hills. When Stacey and I were flying over West Virginia, it was covered with beautiful green rolling hills. Ohh man. But yes it's quite lush out hurr.

I've never understood how that happens! I have friends who live in houses full of thick southern accents, yet they escaped it! It's so strange!

Neutral
You're not Northern, Southern, or Western, you`re just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don`t really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up.

Your mom and dad balanced out and you ended up talking with no accent! Tho your mum doesn't have the strongest accent ever, that I recall. I didn't realize your dad had such a strong accent until he clipped Ember's wings the other day and I was thinking, "Wow how did Jenna not get ANY accent at all?!" Your dad is so nice gosh. My tooty parrot no longer poops all over the house in hard to clean locations!

That's my theory anyways... It is strange that my mom doesn't have much of an accent. But her sister sure does, as do my cousins. And my dad is very southern. Maybe it was my absolute desire not to avoid obtaining an accent. Especially living in Georgia.... who knows?

And I'm very pleased to hear that Ember no longer leaves unwanted presents... haha :D
OMG. Idea. Have you watched the new Miyazaki movie, the Tales of Earthsea? We should watch that!

Yeah! It's a really...different movie, that's for sure. You can tell that Hayao wasn't the director. There's just something different. But it's still very good (of course)! I have the subtitles version, and we should TOTALLY watch it! I haven't seen it in forever, despite owning it!

I got neutral.
Not all that surprising since I grew up around Chapel Hill, NC.
Big melting pot of people. :D
