I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet the person who has it all figured out. Promptly after meeting such person, I'd want to deconstruct and dissect that lone individual to figure out what makes 'em tick. I want to meet those people who are living life the best they can with who they are right now. People who are raging toward a state of perfect imperfection.

Music:

If I were to list out the music that currently fills my ipod I might be mistaken for a schizophrenic lesbian. Let's just say that I love all kinds of music.

Movies:

Hmmm.

Television:

I dunno.
What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
