I started pronouncing my "o"s and "ou"s in that Minnesota accent, completely unintentionally. I was so afraid someone would pick up my Southern/Minnesota hybrid accent and think I was either crazy or an asshole.bubblegumculture.comhttp://bubblegumculture.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117880330109071552.post-79111760420196306102009-02-25T11:14:00.000-06:002009-02-25T11:14:00.000-06:00Fanya: aha! I knew I was missing some details in the re-telling. I'm impressed that you managed to keep up the accent through cramps, lady.nadarinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05902258061174079897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117880330109071552.post-22412185043139057432009-02-25T10:41:00.000-06:002009-02-25T10:41:00.000-06:00I had a similar theater-y accent situation where my sister and I were in Paris and pretending to be German for a while (even though we only spoke a collective 10 phrases in German) and a German guy heard us and tried to befriend us.....awkward lesson learned.The Dominahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15583300914308990753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117880330109071552.post-23055127653521932942009-02-24T22:31:00.000-06:002009-02-24T22:31:00.000-06:00I was too tired to care after I got into Lincoln/Omaha. You forgot to mention that I ended up at my ride's house and realized that she was still at the airport. It was 6:00 AM, I had to walk a mile to call her on a payphone (at a grocery store) and I started my period. Then I walked back, she eventually came home, I slept for a few hours and drove to Columbus. The End.Fanya6http://www.blogger.com/profile/12797751401844897857noreply@blogger.com
