compliment a southern girl could get...who would have thought i could ever get "i don't recognize your accent"...are you from ohio?" i've worked hard over the last...oh 20 years to lose my hicky arkansas accent. i mean really hard. and i pick accents up like loose change on the roadside. if you put me in a room full of arkansas people, i will be the hickiest one of them all.

when i was a youngster, i went to visit my sister in maryland. she had left the south way back when...when she was about 19 years old. i remember when i came back, my other sister's husband saying, "you sound like a northerner" because between my sister's "maryland" accent and her husband's "hungarian/northern" accent....i didn't sound like "the south"

so it's always a pleasure for me, to not sound like i come from where i come from. i worked hard not to sound like that. i worked very hard. i've always been extremely conscious not to sound like that. (tho stacy, a girl from th e south, hears the southern in me...lol)

however i have to say, that i love a good charlotte accent...everything is all soft and round.... scaaaaaarlet from chaaaarlotte....lordy, if i could have the sweet charlotte accent, i'd be a happy happy girl...instead, i'm left with the hard ass accent of "under-educated"

by the way....how can a kereoki not have the EAGLES? don't know, but they didn't not even ONE song...how can you not have the EAGLEs? how?...two monsters and i'm going back to bed!
