About this time each year, I rant and moan about Christmas.  "Christmas is so commercialised and it's no fun anymore", "My family's Christmas sucks", "Christmas, blah blah blah, Christmas whine and complain".  I'm sure I had the world's smallest, saddest violinist playing the world's most tragic song (or perhaps an out of key rendition of "O Holy Night!") for me and all my holiday woes.  This year, however, is completely different.

This is my first year in a different city from most, nay, all of my family.  And missing them, and the dog, and the ugly red shag carpet that is still upstairs has turned me into a Christmas fanatic. I'm just jonesing for the season.  I'm craving gingerbread, eggnog, and tortiere. My eyes well up at television specials and greeting card commercials. And, right now, nothing would make me happier than to be able to go home for the arbitrary 25th, or to have back one of those years that I didn't appreciate while it was here.

Instead, this year, I'm probably going to stay in my pajamas all day, watch A Christmas Story three times before lunch, and eat grilled cheese. And it will probably taint my perception of grilled cheese forever, and I will complain about it next year instead.

No, you can't drink the water here.

"Hey, Jules. [brief pause]  Did you get your hair cut?"

"No, [dearest roommate].  I just got taller."

I am ages behind in my logic homework.  I think you all should know that.  I don't like my logic class one bit.  I especially dislike the part about "logic validity reasoning correctness", which I believe isn't even real English.

I guess the funny thing is that I'm really from Canada

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
