My Occasional British Accent Strikes Again
I have this unfortunate habit of, when either listening to or speaking with someone who has a british accent, slipping into one myself. It is usually described to me as horrible.
The following transpired at the DVD signing pictured above.
Nick Frost: So who are we making these out to?
Me: Oh, the DVD doesn't need to be made to anyone, but if you could make the poster out to Katie...
Simon: Kady?
Me: Katie.
Nick And Simon: Katie?
Me: Yes. K-a-t-i-e.
Simon: Oh, okay...*slight smile* see, you said it with a British accent!
I don't know whether to be embarrassed that he caught it and I didn't, or to be gleefully happy that he didn't tell me it was horrible.

Of course, you mean “‘orrible.” No worries, my mother does it when she speaks to anyone in my dad’s family, but in her case, it’s a Puerto Rican accent. I make sure to make fun of her everytime she does it. She says she never notices when she doesn’t, maybe she gets sucked into some sort of Bronx accent timewarp or something, I have no clue.

Not jealous. At all. Not one little bit. cough
