True.

On a side note, do you think I should start recording myself singing neo-prog tunes with those deathcore vocals of mine?

Oh cmon like you really even need to ask that....

Talking a bit common isn't too bad. Not as bad as talking common all the damn time. I find I only do that depending on how long I hang out with certain friends.

Huzzah for bland American!

"Begal"

"Cholie"

"Yous"

etc.

I'm told I have a really pronounced accent. I cab barely get a glass of water when I travel.

Jon has an Avant accent. He says everything like the words don't have vowels.

Yep.

I go to my voluntary job which is mostly filled with middle-class well-spoken types and so I end up speaking mostly normal.

Then I go down the pub and end up speaking much more common.

It's the slight Wiltshire twang though that occasionally emerged I don't like. Ouch

It's a cute accent.

But I can see how it would be common in your neck of the woods.

It's a very pronounced Kobaian accent.

You seem to be pretty low on the accent scale too. Hooray for being bland! LOL

Hmm, I was thinking about singing something either from Script of a Jester's Tear or Kayleigh or Warm Wet Circles. What do you think would be the best?
