Accents & Individualism

Do you ever notice how some people just have a knack for accents?
And there are others who can't help but talk like those around them?
When I was in the UK, I spoke English like the British.
When I was in Mexico, I spoke English like the Mexicans.
I can't help but have my speech influenced by those around me.
I've got me an Alabama Boytoy now, so guess what - I'm developing a southern accent. Usually its just a word or two but the more time I spend in SW Virginia the more converted words there are. It's especially bad when I'm talking to the dog.
I'm losing my Cali-ness. This has got to stop.
I now reclaim my individualism! (For serious)
