The good:

I just got off the phone with someone who had a stereotypical Canadian accent! He even said 'eh?' at the end of a sentence! It was so adorable!

A teacher just gave me what's either a bottle of champagne or a very skinny, very still gift-wrapped penguin. I've got my fingers crossed.

They've given me a new computer, one of the 2nd gen iMacs with the floating screen. It's yummy.


The bad:

I'm now linked to The Network, which means no more instant messaging at work. :P

Still not King.

But would you want your desk to smell like fish?

no more instant messaging at work
Instant Messaging is overrated. And I think the bag would smell bad if it were a penguin-Sorry :(

the new Imacs are very cool. Do you have a super drive? We're making our promo video on one. :)

Hey, with LJ and eighteen different news sources, yuo can get by without instant messaging at work. Just so you know. ;)

It could be a puffin

they probably think the same thing about massachusetts accents...

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

Yeah--too bad I can't do one. ;)

[freyja.livejournal.com]

i have one trying to sneak in... it's disheartening.

LOL--you strike me as one of those people who're like sponges. Travel around the country a little bit and you'll get one of those untraceable voices with little bits of nine different accents, like Hugo Weaving.

i like canadian accents. i like to pretend im canadian. i wish i was canadian. i like canadian tv. woot!

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

I've pretended that too!

From where you live, can you get the Canadian radio stations? I used to love the Canadian NPR-style news.

Various people have told me I have a weird Canadian-ish accent. :)

I love Canadian accents, even though, as a Canadian myself, I only perceive them when they're really strong. My dad has one of those very strong accents, complete with the "eh?" at the end of every other sentence. My Southern US inlaws just love to listen to him talk.

Weirdly, though, I don't have much of an accent. The Canadian only comes out when I say certain words or use phrases that Americans just don't use.

i do?

yes. that untraceable accent thing is my dream. i love it when people can't figure me out ;)

[enidenvy.livejournal.com]

[helianthas.livejournal.com]

Can't you do the web-based IM'ing?
I'm not sure what i'm going to do without you!

[kissedbythegods.livejournal.com]

I'm Canadian - complete with the accent! :)

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

I can still do it from home! During the day, well, it's time to start abusing the storage capacity of my mail account. ;)
