It just occured to me that, when I meet shiroibara this Saturday, I'll be surrounded by Americans for a week. That means listening to American-English for a week.

Honestly, I know a lot of my American friends love hearing the British accent. Well, sorry, but most of the British people I know, myself included, wince when we hear the very heavy American accent from some parts of the States. (I suppose south-central isn't too bad though) ^^"""" It's funny really, it's just a different way of speaking more-or-less the same language... it's probably more to do with people taking stuff and then calling it their own and then imposing it back on you? ^^" (I will always be spelling SULPHUR even though it has officially been changed in the Periodic Table, see. If we change PH to F and C to K just for easier spelling, soon we'll be speaking German!)

In any case, I'm not going to like, California where the accent is just O_O!, so I'll be just fine XD Bought some dollars today. Will need to think about what clothes to bring, later. Hana, can I just take hoodies and jeans or will I need a smart top + trousers? Because I have no idea where we're going XD

Yes, the "totally Oh my GAAAD" thing! To be fair, I hear that mostly on TV when they show stupid shows like "how much money do Brad and Jen have" and that sort of stuff, it's always narrated by some woman who speaks like that. Or shows that talk about plastic surgeries and all the girls just speak like that >_> It's as if they've just found their voices and need to make the most of it or something XD It's a very poor representation of the nation, perhaps. ^^"""""

Not in my limited experience. XD
