I live in the south but I definitely do not have a southern accent. I say y'all sometimes but not southern-y. It's weird because I've basically lived here all my life and I don't have any kind of accent.
Frankly, I hate it here. I hate being stereotyped as a hick or something. I'm the farthest thing from that, honestly. I went to an itsy bitsy town on the east side of Arkansas once for a feild trip. Ohmygod, they all had overalls on and were walking around talking about deer hunting. *cringe*
