So interestingly enough I've been asked three times in two days where I'm from because they can't quite place my "accent." I feel that I don't really have an accent but maybe my inflection is different than those of you Central Pennsylvania natives. Until now I've also had a hard time telling people where I'm from... but I solved that today. I'm from North Connechusetts Virginsylvania and my messed up "accent" proves it. Spending my first 12 years on the northwestern Connecticut / western Massachusetts border means I'm from the Berkshires. That is not quite as crazy as the Boston accent but it's interesting to go back and actually hear the difference now.
Throw me down to North Carolina for 4 years, then up to Virginia for 2, a summer each living in England and Germany, 2 years in Pittsburgh, 7 in State College... and well... now you understand. You'd be screwed up too if you did it.
So, speaking of my roots in die-hard Red Sox territory, guess who scored tickets to see them play in Philly next week! Bring on the baseball!!!
