say whaat

Cayla and I are dealing with an increasing problem. For whatever reason we've decided to talk like every section of the United States. Now it's not that accents don't have a part in our past, when I moved here from Ohio (alright, it was Kentucky), my voice was so weird I can barely understand myself in old videos. I was already picking up on the southern accent after four days in New Orleans. Here's a few things that we struggle with saying, and the reasons behind them:

First: You say it: fir-st
We say it: furst
Reason: Andrew McMahon. He was born in Concord, MA then moved to California (stalk stalk stalk), so just like us his accent is all over the place. He also says "to give a... different show" really weird. There are a few more things he says weird, but they're all pretty random.

Vanilla: You say it: va-nell-a
We say it: va-nil-a
Reason: Adam Young. He's from Minnesota, he can't help it.

Bag: You say it: bag
We say it: bay-g
Reason: Adam again, we listen to way too much Owl City

Y'all: You say: you all/everyone
We say it: Y'all (obviously..)
Reason: lots of girls in my sorority say it, it's catchy

So yeah... we're easily swayed by our music to change our speaking styles. Maybe it's because we listen to them so much, or there's something wrong with the language part of our brain. You know, the left hemisphere. Whatever it is, we're annoying but we're learning to deal with it.

Enrique and his girlfriend (Snooks) are chasing each other around outside. They're so cute! Pebble is barking at the door because she wants to go out and eat the fertilizer in the grass. Umm I don't think so.

Cheers,
Lauren
