I learned to speak in Louisiana, but we moved to MA when I was still pretty little. My Mom is from VA, so I have an odd accent. Generally, I say things more northern (although not Boston, I pronounce my Rs). But, there are things that I say that sound country and DH likes to make fun of me for it. Specifically the word "insurance". When I go down south, I tend to speak more southern. When I am angry or drunk, I get a little more northern.

I have a very slight one, it's not something that most people would comment on. I went to school in VA though and had a couple southern roommates, if I start talking to them I pick up their twang on a couple words while we're chatting.

I've been told by my best friend (who's Australian) that I have a Canadian accent, but its hard to tell when everyone around you sounds the same.

yes....I've been told it's very southern.

People here in the UK are usually surprised when I tell them I'm from Texas. They expect me to have a crazy thick country accent. So I obligingly put it on for a good laugh.
My G'ma says that I'm starting to sound British now that I've lived here for 2 years, but I don't think so- though I'd say my word choice has changed.
