Ignoring this whole Texas/Southern accent argument completely (sorry guys, you're all flyover states to me!
)...

Last time I was in NY someone did place my California accent, and a few years ago when I was in the UK a ****ing homeless guy was even making fun of it! It's funny, I've never really thought of us Californians as having our own accents. I mean, I do say "dude", "like", and "totally" more than I probably should (well, not
that much), but other than those words I don't really think of myself as speaking in a certain way. Maybe we just speak American English like normal people and it's the rest of the country that's weird?
