Can You Guess What State I'm From?

I don't think most people can. Apparently a lot of people lately can't, anyway. For whatever reason, I've told several people recently that I'm from Oklahoma, and they seem surprised. Maybe it's because I don't really have an accent. And look, GoToQuiz doesn't think so either:

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
The Midland
Boston
North Central
The Inland North
Philadelphia
The South
The Northeast

(I think something's wrong with the code for this thing because those lines should actually be boxes, showing me just how much of each accent I could have. Basically, it's in descending order. So if I had an accent, I would sound mostly like I'm from the Midlands, least like the Northeast.)

Thanks go to Heather for the blog idea. She and I have a thing for talking in different accents . . . So what about you, readers? Where does your accent say you hail from?


Thing I'm thankful for: my OK roots.
