Thanks! I'm never sure how my accent actually sounds to anyone else- it's difficult to judge your own voice. I've always been told I have a pretty strong California accent (which, of course, isn't an option on the test!), so I was a tad perplexed, too. Ah, well- it was a cute test, though.

How's life going for you? I really wish we'd had more time to chat a Y-con, but the weekend went by soooooo quickly!

Yeah, American accents are funny, indeed! There are so many of them and they all sound distinctly different. That's one of the fun things about visiting different states!

You know, not only American. I read about British accents, it's very interesting too, coz sometimes I could understand nothing)
