Now, when I've had a few too many drinks sometimes, or especially if I'm really tired and groggy? The ol' Texas drawl starts coming back. Sometimes I get a bit of an accent when I chat with my sister a little too long, too (she's not from NY, but she married someone from there and has an accent). My Mom has quite a southern accent (so does my Dad). They're all from southern Illinois and I was the first one born in Texas.

I quite like French accents, too!
i know what you mean. living in Gastonia I picked up a slight ebonics sort of thing. sometimes it just slips and i would say "I be".

Since i like to do voices, i'm gonna learn to do a scottish accent. so far on my list: southern, Indian, wisconsin, spanish, sylvester stallone. it shouldnt be hard to learn- for anyone...is it?
