Miscellaneous silly stuff.

Decided to try out that accent-identifier quiz that cairistiona7 posted earlier. ^.^


The result - 

 

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

North Central. This is what everyone calls a "Minnesota accent." If you saw "Fargo" or "Drop Dead Gorgeous" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Some Americans may mistake you for a Canadian.

If you are not a northern Minnesotan, you are probably one of these:
(a) A Yooper from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; or
(b) A Canadian who has a mostly but not completely Canadian accent

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Different Same Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different...

- was not particularly surprising, considering that I've been told even by a Texan that he could tell where I was from by my accent. *g* Mmhmm, pretty clasically Minnesotan. Enough so that it has only very recently occurred to me that having snow 6-8 months out of the year might not actually be the common, usual way of things. Where others are starting to talk spring, we've still got over a foot of snow on the ground, and our second snowiest month still ahead. 

I also realized that part of the reason that winter's seemed so much longer lately is that until the last few years we always spent a couple weeks in Arizona in the middle. Amazing what a difference that can make in one's general enjoyment of the season... 

And, on an entirely unrelated note - a couple of LOTR-related graphs that I found very amusing lately.

And! Although figuring out the transition to Photoshop continues to be aggravating at times, I am now well on my way to being in love with the program. Today... Neffie showed me how to animate stuff. *joy*

Naturally, I had to experiment. Quite sloppily, granted, but still - 



Ees fuuuun. And so easy! :D

Aren't they just funny? Love it. XD

Thanks! :D I was happy that it turned out like that, for such a quick job. Now I've gotta try something more complex.... *g*
