I'm confused now.

Do I actually talk with an accent???

For some reason random people have been telling me that I have a slight trace of an accent vaguely resembling a British one. And half the people I ask claim that I do, and the other half scoffs at the ignorant first half. I can sort of figure out where the origins of such an accent would come from, but I've been trying hard ever since I was little to sound normal and more American. I tend to revert to old patterns of speaking when I'm tired, probably because subconsciously I'm returning to what I'm most familiar with (hence, I can speak Cantonese better when I'm almost completely asleep then when I'm wide awake. 'Tis odd, I know). But since when did I have an obvious accent?

I'm functioning decently well considering that I didn't get so much sleep last night. I have plenty of time to finish my paper if I just stop procrastinating long enough...

I remember that you always had a twinge of one. It tends to come out when you're not particularly thinking about the sentence and slip into more normal speech. It's cute :)
