Double Meme!
This is the first such quiz that correctly places my origins in the West, as opposed to the mid-west. It's hard to tell where I'm from by my accent, but still, the only flawless USian accent I've ever had was my original Californian one, as opposed to the more unplaceable mongrel accent I've developed over the years. I think I only ever met one person who right off the bat asked me if I was from California, and turns out, it was because she'd heard me say "I was, like, um..."
Now the ABC one...

P. Pet peeves: Many.
Q. Quote from a movie:
R. Righty or lefty: Righty.
S. Siblings: Older brother and sister.
T. Time you wake up: depends - my personal orbit has little to do with the time of earthlings.
U. Underwear: Stretchy and comfy and black.
V. Vegetables you don't like: Celery. Yuck. Also, gumbo.
W. What makes you run late: I'm rarely late, but when I am it's either having to wake up too early or really not wanting to go somewhere.
X. X-rays you’ve had: Teeth, head, foot, knee, lungs, most of my internal organs...
Y. Yummy food you make: Haven't cooked in a long while, but I was very good with desserts once upon a time. Also, I'm really good with salads.
Z. Zoo animal favorites: I loved the lemurs and the skunks when I worked at a zoo, but as a visitor, I think bears, or maybe elephants? The big ones that aren't cats.
I pulled a neck muscle or something yesterday and it's making me all achey and weak and miserable :(
What American accent do you have?

Western. Like Midland, Western is another accent that people consider neutral. So, you might not actually be from the Western half of the country, but you definitely sound like it.
And if you're not from the West, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Pittsburgher - the quiz can't tell the difference;
(b) Someone from Canada (probably southern Ontario) who doesn't have a Canadian accent;
(c) Someone from northern New England who doesn't have a New England accent; or
(d) Someone from Texas or the Heartland who was born after 1980.
You are definitely not from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Detroit, the Deep South, etc.</font>
