    I have what has been described as "a real Florida accent", although I'm not really sure how much that differs from the standard American accent. Florida's accents are pretty atypical of the South, really, at least in the parts where I've lived; there are certainly other parts of Florida where there is a very pronounced Southern accent.

    Hey Cuch, can you point me to the nearest pub? (I figure if it's Belfast there's got to be at least one within sight already, but anyway)

    My father is from Minnesota and my mother is from Tennessee. I've spent equal amounts of time in the north and south, so I have an accent that is a mix of the two. Which accent comes out more depends on the accent of the person I most recently talked to (or my mood). Jasmin laughs at me all the time when I say beg instead of bag or when the occasional aboot. I really only catch my southern accent when I talk to my mom and I don't do that very often.

    Your accent is powerless on the internet.

    I want to hear Cuch's accent.

    I have a pretty flat non-accent Mid-West accent, in my opinion. Everyone in the East Coast tells me that I have a Southern accent (I really don't). I've only been back here for a day, though, and I'm already picking up some really harsh accent shifts.

    Less typing, more talking.

    If I sound like a suburban gay white kid, it's because I am one.

    Yeah no. I refuse. lmao. I hate the way my voice sounds. I think I sound girly, but then I actually like.. Hear myself sometimes whether it's via voicemail or whatever and I think I have a pretty deep voice.

    Sometimes I oddly take on a SoCal accent. Or that's what I've been told a few times. I've also been told I look like Carrie Underwood & Kelly Clarkson and had to question the people's state of sobriety/sanity. Whatevs.

    Lulz... BTDubs... Nice voice thurr Laddeh.

    I'm the exact opposite! I think my voice sounds incredibly low, then sometimes I really stop and listen and...I have an extremely childish voice. Not even high pitched (which is sort of is) just I sound like a little kid. I hate it. >.>
