Nobody has "no accent" - although people in CT do tend to speak more closely to 'General American English' than other New Englanders do. But there are still differences. Actually, linguists have divided New England up into four accent regions: Southwestern (most of CT and western MA)...

The worst flooding was south of me, but our town was on the news because a few dams were in danger of breaking and flooding the downtown area. Fortunately, they got the situation under control. Besdies, I live on a hill, so there's never any danger for me anyway. ;) I think we can all thank God...

LibraryOwl -- remember, a true New Englander is supposed to be humble. ;) Of course it's ridiculous to say that everywhere else 'blows,' so I assume you're being somewhat silly. I can understand having pride in New England, though. Having travelled around the country, it's still my favourite...

I'm new to the LA area...in fact, I'm actually a New Englander, but I'm attending USC. So I'm pretty close to downtown LA. This sunny weather all the time is crazy :P

I'm a university student from the States but my college offers a 'study abroad' program at the University of Edinburgh and I would love to spend a semester there. I've wanted to visit Scotland for a long time (especially since my best friend considers it the best place on Earth...but she may be...

I'm over in Bristol (south of Plymouth, northwest of Laconia)...it's nice to see New Hampshirites online who aren't exclusively from the southern part of the state.

Boston is great, but I would definitely recommend the White Mountain region of New Hampshire. Interstate 93 runs through the state, and if you go north from Boston for about 2-2.5 hours you'll reach the area. In Lincoln you can take the 112 East (Kancamagus Highway, which cuts through the...

I lived in Mansfield, MA for 10 years and have lived in Bristol, NH for the past 7. My mom's from Central Falls, RI and I go to my paternal grandparents' cottage in Bristol, ME every summer...definitely a true New Englander. ;)

I'm going to college in southern California next year to study linguistics, and I've done a lot of studying of various accents in my own free time (I know, I'm weird like that :p), but I still find the accents of my homeland to be some of the neatest, most pleasant, and...ok, sometimes pretty...

Bonjour tout le monde :) âge : 17 ans Pays de naissance : États-Unis Langue maternelle : anglais Pratique du français : je l'étudie à l'école depuis 5 années...j'essaie de le parler aussi souvent que possible; j'adore la langue française. Ma mère m'a appris des phrases comme "Comment...

Well, I don't think those things are reallly applicable to us, actually. We have a very unique, open and loving relationship and friendship that we are both very grateful for. Yes, it was a little bumpy there for a while, but there's really nothing to worry about anymore as far as our...

Same here, same here. :)

I love 'em all! I'll have to go with Jupiter, though- when the strings kick in in the middle of the piece and start playing that melody (later used in "I Vow to Thee, My Country", right), I get chills.

For a while there it looked like the two of us were back on the right track, but last night some comments of mine stemming from one of my insecurities led into an argument with some harsh parting words on the part of my friend. I feel like my insecurities have deeply damanged our...

Well I wouldn't know since I'm not married, but didn't God design sex itself to be satisfying for both the husband and wife...? Mapik, if you're still uncertain on the issue of masturbation, then you might want to take a look around here. There are already a number of topics on the matter.
