So if my grandpa hadn't moved over from Holland...I'd probably be.....somewhere around there.

Well besides our silly accent

...
I have the worst time with it. Sometimes I type in it and when I'm typing a post I have to go back and edit it to make sure I didn't spell anything weirdly. And it's even worse when you move somewhere else and everyone makes fun of your accent. But it's ok because I make fun of it too...

well AbercrombieOfRohan my family and I scared someone withour accents before...it was a few years ago, and she was unused to hearing a boston accent except from me everyonce and awhile, so when we invited her over one day my mom says you could see the terror in her eyes at suddenly hearing nothing, nothing, except boston accents...I felt (and still feel) rather bad for her, but on the other hand it was nice to see looks of inconprehension on someone else for a change (since we were living far from home I was so at lost as to what people were saying I probably had a blank look of confusion on my face for the better part of a year)

But typing with an accent is pretty cool...every once and a while I get a strong urge to type "y'know" or "c'mon" or somthing, but that's not really an accent--just quicker....

I'm a Southern California girl. Us Southern Californian's do have a bit of a stereotype as well. We're all supposed to be from Hollywood, be in extemely good shape and extremely fashionable, know tons of celebrities, and love to surf and go the the beach. I must confess, that though I have been to Hollywood several times (I only live an hour a way), there really is nothing special about it. It's just a city, with some neat stores. I don't think I'm that fashionable, I don't know any celebrities, and I hate the beach. It is pretty hot down here, though, during the summer.

and its true about New yorkers! they're loud, obnoxious and are ummm... very supportive of theyre baseball team *coughs* yankees stink*cough*. If you ever have any reason to go to New york though Broadway would be it. It's awesome there.

I confess, it's all true. But to the credit of New Yorkers... we are fearless when it comes to jaywalking, and can hail cabs like no one else.

Although I'm not from the city, so perhaps my skills are not as honed as those who do live there. Apparantly Long Island has its own sterotypes... You Know You're From Long Island When...

And so many of them are so true.
