No Don't Loose Your Accent ... !!!

Please, give me a break!!!
Yes, I want to loose it ...
It's one very annoying thing to have this following senario each time I open my mouth:

- "Hello, how are you doing?"
- "Fine, thank you! How about you?"
- "Oh! where are you from?"
(There we go again ... !!!)
- "Excuse me?"
-"Yes, your accent, what is it?"
(Gzzzzzz!!! I barely opened my mouth!?!?!?)
-"Well, have a wild guess!
(Actually, if you could make it an educated one ... That would be great for once!!!)
-"German?"
-"Nop!"
-"Russian?"
-"Nop!"
-"Polish?"
-"Nop! You are SO cold ... !!!"
-"So, what is it?"
-"French!"
-"No way!!!"
(Oh!!! Ya!!! Like if I didn't know myself!!!!)
-"French!? It's the best accent, the most beautiful language!
(Yes, right!!! Like if you knew what you were talking about!!! You couldn't even put your hand on it!!!???)
-"Comment allez-vous? Comment vous appelez vous? Je m'appelle ..."
(Oh, please!!!)
-"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?"
(Hell NO ... !!!)
-"That's all I know ... That's all I remember from High School class ..."
(Thank God!!! Bla, bla, bla ...)
-"Ok, got to go. Bye!"
(Looser ... !!!)

Each time it's the same deal!!! It's ridiculous ... really!!! I'm so tired of this scenario.

This accent thing is more like a speech disability more then anything, I'm telling you!!!
-"what did you say?"
-"what are you trying to say?"
-"I didn't understand what you just said!"

The only cool thing about the accent, is that I can blame it on my French when I have a patty mouth:
-"Oups! Excuse my French!"
LOL.
And some time to get out of an illegal U turn ticket:
-"Pardon? Oh, desolee ... sorry ... Je suis perdue ... hu!!! ... I'm lost! ... "
Although I need to have my French passport handy instead of my Californian driving license!!! LOL.

Oh, well ... After 10 years in this country I should be used to it by now! But actually it drives me nuts. I wish I had gotten ride of this accent by now!

The worse is when I go back home and they ask me where I come from there too !!!!????

Man !!! ...
I can't win, can I ???

What to do ???

Or how to do it ???

I have 2 ideas of once a week post but I'm not sure how to handle it !?!?!?

  1. Should I create 2 new blogs and add a linking tab in the navigation bar like I have right now with my 2 blogs (fdgtgrl's blog and Digi Scrap'n Blog Train). This will make it a total of 4 blogs each having a specialty topic.
  2. Or should I choose a weekly day for each 2 new topics like in this blog I follow Blue Frogs legs. Kelly has, every Friday, what she call "Pay It Forward Friday.
Just wandering ...
Dear followers, what do you think ???

Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
Sincerely, fdgtgrl
