Many of you know that I have a talent--some don't think it is a talent-for impersonating the accents of other countrymen. I thought that after a year of living in Australia I would have been able to perfect my Aussie accent, which really sounds more Indian and sometimes British on a good day. Well, Damon and I just got back from the grocery store and I stepped up to the deli counter and had this conversation with the women next to me:
Me: Can I have one slice of Watsonian cheddar? (Yes, I seriously ordered one slice of cheese)
The woman beside me: Are you Irish?
Me: Excuse me?
The woman beside me: Are you Irish? You sounded Irish when you just asked for the cheese.
Me: Ummmm...no, just plain American but I wish I was Irish.
In my head I was thinking: Sweet, I have now added an Irish accent to my repertoire.

I'm sure you'll sound like an Aussie to us. But that's funny that you were mistaken for Irish.

I want to hear your Aussie accent when you get back. :)
