    I've been mistaken for Irish, Scottish, English and American. I'm actually a New Zealander, and so were all those who made the mistakes. I'm from the North Island of the country, but several years at university in the South Island have given me a Mainland accent, which makes things interesting whenever I return home.

    My girlfriend makes fun of me sometimes becuase if I hang out with people for awile I start adopting there accents to a slight degree. Her family is from Noo Yoik so when I stay with them I sometimes start unwillingly saying words with there accent. I get pretty good at them, but I cant change from accent to accent. I get stuck in them v.v
    Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?

    I'll have to check with him once I start school again, but I think he said he was from around Bolton, so his accent is a little off. But it's still hilarious to watch three English kids in our year speak with three different accents.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I'm very lucky that I don't have a thick southern accent, because I didn't even know that "holler" was actually "hollow" until I was about seventeen, and everyone in my family does have a thick accent.

    The regional accent will tend to rub off on me a little when I get excited or talk too fast. Aside from that, my accent is regular English and fluctuates from pretty much normal to rather porsche depending on the situation.

    Someone thought I might have come from New England once. I didn't really know why.
