Dialect-able!

Yes, I used a super lame title. Deal.

I decided I wanted to be one of the cool kids, and went ahead and did the dialect vlog like Jessica, Kelly, and Hannah.

If you haven't heard about it/seen it yet, you say a list of words and answer a bunch of questions that people tend to say differently. I don't know how many people like to actually watch themselves on video, but I sure felt like one awkward turtle. Especially since I was in my pajamas and ready for bed.. and evidently thought that was an awesome time to video tape myself for the world wide webs. Anyway.

WOW the start of this video makes me look like a spaz.

I think I occasionally slip, but I try super hard not to! (Gotta keep 'em guessing, you know.)

I totally think all you guys and gals should do this too. And let me know if you do!! Here's the list of words and questions:
