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

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

There are a few ironies - the late Nan Dibble (I haven't had the heart to delete her lj) came as their/her dead grandmother. It's researchgrrrl who should be dressed as a ferret not siegelit. I doubt spikedluv would dress up as Ted Williams as she's a Yankees fan. And I'm trying hard to imagine what a Tobey Maguire & Queen Elizabeth love child would look like *g*

OMG the number of books I haven't read. Personally though I think there should be a way of marking the books that you read for school that you otherwise would never have picked up - all those depressing classics that made my unhappy adolescence even more miserable *sigh*.

Found another SF writer who has an LJ. She's Rebecca Ore who has an lj as [livejournal.com profile] mouseworks. She's in the company of [livejournal.com profile] ozarque aka Suzette Haden Elgin, [livejournal.com profile] wen_spencer and possibly others - anyone know of any more SF writers on LJ?


From her I gakked this (I've visited 21% of the USA):

It's "Too Darned Hot" - that's been running through my brain all day along with "We're having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave..." I inadvertently discovered something neat - last night I dug out a favorite tee shirt but it was all wrinkly so I took it into the shower and dampened it to get the wrinkles out. I hung it from the curtain rod high over the in-wall air-conditioner and this morning it was still slightly damp (though it wasn't noticeably so) and cold when I put it on. It kept me cool for some time. I'll probably do the same thing tonight.

Well I found a Star Trek meme and I'm


You scored as Spock. You are Spock. You have great depth and intelligence. You strive to be the best you can be, and expect no less from others. You prize self-control and rational thought above all else. It is difficult to get to know you, but once someone penetrates your shell you are capable of great love, and are loyal to the death. Beware of asceticism--which you are prone to; sensual experience will make you a healthier, more well-rounded person.
