So I'm back in Texas, where I grew up, but haven't spent much time here in the past ten years. I'm meeting up with old friends and I keep getting surprised by their accents! I do NOT remember them having Texan accents, like, at all. Guess it's one of those fish knowing they're wet kind of situations. Funny.
Now of course this has me worried: do my friends in Portland hear this when I talk?? Do I still sound like I'm from Texas??
