Others: Where are you from?
Me: I am from Utah.
Me: I am from Utah.
Others: No way. Really? You sound like your from somewhere else, but I can't pin point it.
Me: Arizona?
Others: No, it's kinda of like a Wisconson, Utah, tiny bit of southern accent.
Yeah, what?!
I grew up in AZ and later moved to Utah.
Hmmmmm...
Maybe I have.....a speech impediment?
Eh, who knows.
It's usually people I don't know who notice it, plus my Dad.
Yes, my father thinks I have a Utah accent.
So does that mean I have a hick accent?
I find this lovely.
I dream of walking this trail someday,
a long thin stick in hand,
a gentle breeze,
just cool enough to wear a light sweater,
and the only other sound being the skinny branch I found along the trail ticking against the fence as I walk
for hours
and kiss horsies cute noses as I pass them by.
The next day I will be walking with my sweetheart in my hand as I excitedly show him the beautiful trail I found leading to an abandoned cottage.
What's that? Oh you mean to tell me that I should be studying for my finals right now instead of daydreaming?
I'll consider it.
Love,
Ama(strong almost nasally A)nda
Solution: From now on I will be speaking in a british accent. Then people will think I'm cool. Why is that?

Try a British accent. That's always fun--then maybe people won't make fun of your Utah accent. True life: utahns DO have am accent. When I came out here for school, I was totally taken aback. Who knew?! Ex: go get the MEHL (instead of maaail)
