That's funny, I hate humidity because it makes my hair nearly unmanageable and I feel like I can't breathe. I saw an old picture of me once in Colorado, where it's really dry. I had been walking and climbing on rocks all day, but my hair looked like I had just brushed it - it wasn't frizzy at all! Unfortunately, it seems to be my lot in life to live in humid places.

I almost threw up everyday from the heat.. it was so bad. Dry heat is awesome (Ice cream melts way to fast though) and I live close to the Mountains (10-15 minute drive) so we can go cool down.

Dry heat feels like im in an oven. Humid heat is more like a crockpot. See, I grew up in humid climate, as did my mom and her dad. So I think I got humid-tolerate hair in my genetics

Mom has lived in mom lived in dry and my dad lived in humid until we moved to Germany.. I was born in OK and that helped a little bit? Grandma & Grandpa (mom side)- Humid Grandma & Grandpa (dad side)- Dry I've lived in Utah for so long that humid heat just kills me.. xD My hair is for both climates and I'm used to the cold (Not the Canada cold or other Northern cold but it can get pretty close)

Has anyone ever traveled somewhere different and the people there completely confused your accent? When I was in California this summer a lady asked if I was Russian because she heard my Texas accent. RUSSIAN :'D

That's amazing.. I'm dying over from that.. I'm pretty sure someone asked if I was in school when somebody asked if I was Danish.. just because I spoke one ONE word of Danish.. It was great..

Oh, here's another one, Snow! How about the whole Aunt pronunciation thing? I've heard some people say it like "Unt' and others like "Ant" I personally say it like Unt. xD

I say it both.. I didn't even think about that.. How people say Marie is so weird.. Some say it Ma-rie (I'm looking this up xD I get points for this one) and some say it Ma-rie. Mine is prounonced the second way and whenever someone says it the first way I have to correct them.. If I didn't make sense here's two websites you can have fun scrolling through to say it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_(given_name)www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/MarieAnother thing that might help you for saying mine correctly is Maria (Ma-ree-a) and just take off the (a).

Yes! I love points! I don't know what the accent sounds like but speaking it is pretty fun. Cussing people out in different languages is always fun though (Sorry my dear friends that wouldn't shut up and they thought I was speaking random syllables but was really cussing.)

How about "Wikipedia?" There's the pronunciation "Week e pedia" and "wiccapedia" or "wick e pedia" Which one do you say?

I don't bother pronouncing it fully. I say it's shortened version. My friends say that when I come back from Arkansas I always pronounce it same as Snowfeather but as soon as I ditch that southern accent it becomes Dawnsky's.
Yes we actually did a test to see how I said things differently when I got back from Arkansas

I actually started school in Georgia, and according to my dad, I started developing a southern accent even though I hadn't lived in the South until then. I lost it when we moved back north, but I can still imitate one pretty well.

I didn't ditch it, just lost it I guess...
Actually I never did lose it, I just keep it in check since it would be awkward if I just swagged in and started talking in a southern accent..
Can you imagine that?
