What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

you

you think you are speaking to me, but your top notes screech at me, your bass notes boom at me, and you mumble your words through a haze of clicks and whirrs, buzzes and whines, and talkradio static.

you walk toward me, your height and width increasing as you get closer, but this is the only clue you give me. i have no other way to gauge how far away you are.

you bring with you your doppelganger, almost as shadowy and substantial as you are. who moves as you move, but half a head higher, not quite half a body to the side of you, and tilted towards you a few degrees, as though listening to something that only the two of you share.

i know for a fact, because i've measured it before now, that the hallway is wide enough for us to pass, me and the both of you. the hallway even appears wider than measured, what with its phantom wall over there to the far side of your companion. still, i can't see that there's enough room for me here, and i move further to my side of the hallway, until my shoulder brushes this wall.

before you quite reach me, i can tell which you soap you showered with this morning, which shampoo, what laundry detergent you wash your clothes in, and maybe even the toothpaste you use.

mmm ...

stuffed grape leaves. and retsina, admittedly an acquired taste.

you can have the ouzo, though.


update:
tonight, while everyone else was standing in line for food, i went to one of the drinks tents and ordered my hemi-decennial glass of retsina. the server took my $5, looked closely at me [i don't look at all greek], and finally asked "are you sure?"
me: yes.
him: are you sane?
me: no.
he laughed, apparently figuring [rightly] that i knew what i was letting myself in for, and handed me the glass.

yep. still tastes like fermented pine tar.

sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
