Accent

While I was born and raised in New England, and have never left the US (aside form a singular trip lasting an hour or two to Canada for a cheaper vet) my accent is "not american" and throws people off. I myself don't even know where it really came from. People often mistake me for either an Aussie, Kiwi, Brit, or generally just "not from here". As someone who can't stand the US, that puts a smile on my face, especially when those people get patriotically butthurt about it. But I don't think my accent matches any known regions. I tell myself it comes from playing online games with people from around the world, as well as watching television from that same planet lol. I honestly don't know, but neither will I try and adapt my accent to fit where I live. I'm not bothered by it.

EDIT: I have purposefully added some British and Aussie slang to my vocab in response to some people confusing me to be from there. But those words are no longer forced, it's like they were always there.
