You sound like a Hoosier to me. *shrug*

You don't sound Hoosier. You sound like a normal Midwesterner. The real true Hoosier accent is what people from Marion Indiana sound like. You sound as if you life in a college town (grin).

Hoosier is more like Ohio and less like Michigan, kwim?

A Chicago accent is defined by the pronunciation of the phrase "the reason" (or the bulls) as "da reason" or "Da Bulls". My husband has a South Suburban Chicago accent, and that surprised me a bit at first because I grew up in Michigan and assumed Chicagoans didn't have accents!

I've always thought most of us were woefully accent-less. You get the odd twangy, "We just never expected Bubba Joe to shoot up the Walmart"-types on the news (why, yes, i am a horrible person), but for the most part... Not much twang or nasal whine to be found.

My cousins grew up in Fountain County and now live up around Waterloo, on the other side of Fort Wayne, and they say we have accents. Of course, they are the Bubba Joes of the state, so, yanno, mystery solved.

ETA: /. Because html is my enemy.

Ayup! They told us in J-school that the broadcast people prefer to get their anchors from the Midwest because we're so boring on the accent front. We r in in ur televishun, talkin' 'bout ur noows.

I think it's a requirement for being on the news, too.

SERIOUSLY. Where the frick are they finding these people, anyway? And where can I get that job? *headdesk*

ETA: Because I'm speshul. ASHASLDFJA.

I don't know how my doctors would feel about that. I bit someone the last time they let me out.

OH WELL, I SAY. SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LOOKIN' AT ME LIKE THAT ANYWAY. I HAVE A SIGN AND EVERYTHING.

Alas, even with a journalism degree, it was the only way I could get on the news. Whatever it takes to get a foot in the door, yanno. :D

Then you had more fun than me, and you probably definitely have a brighter, more respectable career ahead of you.

Guess what me & my journalism degree are doing tomorrow? We're applying to wipe up dog crap! (Note: This is a step up from the desk job I currently have.*)

Subway is no longer my scary job.

*I think my new worst fear is that I will post to bitch about the place I'm working at now, where everyone loathes me (MUTUALMUTUALMUTUAL), and you'll be all, "Oh. My. God. THAT'S YOU?!" Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S TOO LATE FOR POOR ROSSI. Oh, Grandpa Dave. ♥

Of course I call him Grandpa Dave! He's OLD and CUTE and he has the face of a mackerel. I hearts him so. *gentle geriatric squishes*

Not even a little bit. I'm forever joking about Rossi fisting poor little Reid just to gross out [livejournal.com profile] buffyaddict13. I have a thing.

I think it used to. She's impervious now, mostly. Damnit.

I propose that you jump his bones while I mash his nanners. And poor Reid can weep in the corner while he tries (and fails) to get the mental image of Rossi wearing him like a glove out of his head. :D

AWWW! Your icon! I was totally all "HOMG THE SLASH" during that part. Hookers and the (smoldering) elderly are all about young, troubled Dr. Reid. It warms the space in my chest cavity. ♥
