Crafty get stuff done and a couple Merlin related links

Have you been doing your craft time?  I spent time beading at my quilt guild meeting and again at the allergist, plus I am totally going to my basement later today to play with fabric down there.  I think octopus will have to wait until tomorrow, but I will probably feel up to cutting up fabric, at the very least:)

What?!!! Why can't you listen to him?

[jelazakazone]

Uh, I still don't really get it. Are you from Armagh? Is the accent very local?

The thing for me about listening to people from my "town" is that those people are all a bunch of uneducated bumpkins and they would be saying embarrassing things. I think Colin says lovely things. If it's his accent, I guess I can understand that?

Hee hee. I get it. I don't have a regional accent; just a non-specific US accent which makes me cringe when I hear it recorded (which I will have to do soon since I'm podficcing something).

Be proud of your accent. It's lovely!

Well, if it makes you feel any better... I think that the Northern Irish accent is just lovely.

Oh, and I live outside of Boston, so trust me when I say that I understand the cringing about hearing the local accent!

[jelazakazone]

Hee hee:) I think the Northern Irish accent is lovely too.

I don't have a specific regional accent. Just a non-specific American one:D

That is me as well. My dad has sort of a heavyish Boston/Down Maine accent and I always tried to separate myself from that. I catch myself saying a Bostonian word here and there (usually something that ends in "ah" instead of "er") but most of the time, very generic.

It's funny, because my DH, who came from the Detroit area, did not pick up the Midwestern accent either. *shrugs*

I think that more of us picked up a broad accent and there are fewer people in the US with a strong regional accent. DH and I sound pretty similar, with a few notable exceptions that may be peculiar to me, rather than a region.
