I have what seems like 5 accents put into one.
I have the typical northern US accent(I still don't believe we have one), Canadian for some reason(I'm not Canadian), Californian/surfer(Not from California, do surf in Hawaii), Scottish, and British. The last two make sense.
I grew up mostly around my grandparents who both have accents. Scottish and British. I learned most of my English from them, so I adapted a lot to the way they pronounce certain things. Living with them again has made it show even more.
Northern US makes sense as I was born and raised in Washington.
Canadian and Californian make absolutely no sense to me. Through other people I've only been asked if I was from California a few times. Canadian it seemed I got asked ALL the time. Especially at work. My sister was born in California and my mom lived there from 1962-1963 to 1987, but I wasn't born until after they moved up here.
I used to go to Canada every weekend, but it's not a part of my background.
Basically, I don't understand why I speak the way I do. Half the time I don't even think about it o.o I try really hard to not have any kind of accent, but if I talk too fast of I just don't think about it, it comes out, lol.
