theladyroseApparently I still have that freakishly pretentious transatlantic accent that I'm convinced that I don't have. My Columbia interviewer asked if I grew up in Britain when I was scheduling my appointment. That was just mildly awkward...
It looks like I've got to work on how to sound like an American. Which, really, means sounding like someone bleached all of your words.

You don't sound like a Valley Girl-you don't live in Valley Girl land where tanned blonde bimbos are a nickel a dozen (even with inflation). Like wow! I didn't really notice the drawl either-how far north are you talking about?
