What American accent do you have?

Your Result: The Inland North

 

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?"  Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

I've never lived further north than I do now. I live near Charlotte. How do I have an Inland Northern accent?

Eleven Questions

Well, I saw this on Caitlyn's blog who saw this on Tina’s blog, who saw in on Julie’s blog.  I figured it'd be a good time waster. 

1. In baseball each player gets a “walk up song” that plays on his way up to the plate. What song would you pick?

2. What’s the best thing that happened to you last weekend?

I got to spend time with T. We even went to the farmer's market together.

We also found Metalmorphosis!

3. If you could have a starring role in any film already made, which movie would you pick?

I really don't get/like to watch many movies, sooooo (insert random pick).

Oooo! Wait! I have one! The new Muppet movie! I would LOVE to have a Muppet made to look like me!

4. What actor/actress would you have play you in a movie of your life?

I like how Caitlyn chose her answer (by going to Celebrity Look-a-Like Generator).  So I tried it. I tried it three times. Why so much? Because I kept getting answers like Gary Sinise, Kate Moss and Meryl Streep. Yeah no. I do NOT look like any of them.

However, I think it'd be awesome if Meryl Streep DID play me in a movie. :)

5. What is your favorite quote?

"Though she be but little, she is fierce" 

That quote reminds me of my girl every time I see it.

6. What was your first concert?

My first concert that I remember is Blink-182.

7. What Internet website do you visit the most?

Twittttttttttter (@bethenasia) and Pinterest (http://pinterest.com/bethenasia/)

8. Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you the best and why?

Sneezy right now because of all of this pollen. Sleepy (and Dopey) without my fabulous coffee (Let's add Grumpy to my "Without Coffee" list). Happy when I'm with my Selah and T. Doc when I know it all (because, let's be honest, I do). And Bashful.... Ha.

9. If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?

Creme Brulee. Shake Shack's Dapper Dog. Iced Caramel Coffee. Spicy Tuna Roll (whole fish, not paste). Probably something else, but that's what I want right now.

10. What is the background of your computer?

I love these things!

And the eleventh question is… to you!  Answer one of the ten above!

Please and Thank you!

Disney

If I were...

If I was a pasta, I'd be bow tie pasta.
If I was a cupcake, I'd be funfetti or lemon... or a mixture: funfetti lemon! (Selah'd be a Key lime cupcake. Right, Mel?)
If I were a band, I'd most likely be Nellie McKay. A little random.
If I had a hammer, I'd know how to use it. And if T had a hammer, he'd use it to pull up weeds.
If I were a dancer, it would be hilarious. I am NOT coordinated enough to dance. ever.
If I had a dog, I would love it and hug it and dress it up in pretty dresses. Done, done, done and done.
If I were a movie, I'd have an awesome ending where the underdog wins and they all live happily ever after.
If I had wings, I would have to buy new shirts.
If I were to meet you on the street, there would probably be some awkward moments, followed by joy and laughter, followed by more awkward moments as I fight staying with you and continuing on my way.

And that's where I am now. Struggling between writing more nonsense and bidding you adieu. Awkwarddddddddd. 

So yeah
