30in30-7: it ain't an act

for the "30 secrets in 30 days" group- on occasion when i'm really relaxed (or after a few drinks) some people have noticed a distinct change in my speech. specifically an accent. we were stationed in georgia during the time i started speaking, and stayed there for a while. in addition, my biological father had acquired one, too. AND he had a fondness for country music (which made my ears hurt.) so i had an accent for a long time. after years of moving back up north, i lost it. most of the time only traces of it show up in the way i pronounce a word or two, but sometimes my brain just lets go and i start getting funny looks from people.
