I celebrated free comic book day today by buying a comic book.
Liz:
I celebrated by going into a comic book store and laughing at most of the things.
No purchase necessary.

Man. Calling my mom on Mother's Day in front of my friends was probably the funniest thing I've had happen recently. I caught so much shit for my Mom-accent. When I'm on the phone with my mom, I go from the accent they're used to, which is my standard northern California accent (the one you hear in about 90% of movies; very neutral, as far as American accents go) to a slowed-down, incredibly thick Georgia accent. Think Alan Jackson. Not a single one of these kids was even aware I was a Southerner by even the loose stretch I consider myself to be one (my mom's side of the family is all from the South and I lived in Georgia for a significant part of my childhood), so when they all of a sudden heard me turn into a Georgia boy, they didn't know what the fuck was happening. My word choice altered itself significantly; my slang was very different, and I used a lot of semi-archaic words such as "yonder."
I recently learned that it is not advisable to drink alcohol within an hour of taking diphenhydramine (my usual go-to choice of antihistamine). That shit will straight FUCK YOU UP.

My mother code-switches whenever she is one the phone with southerners, as well. She's from Georgia, but for most of my childhood in Connecticut, spoke in a perfect non-regional General American accent.
I realised recently I pronounce pajamas weirdly because of her.
bainidhe_dub:
do you say pajaymas or pajommas?
