I got a room mostly because I like the convenience of being able to get up and be right in the centre of the action. If I stay at home, then true, I'm saving money, but I'm also subject to the whim of bus schedules and late-night travelling---and hauling stuff, like cosplays, and merchandise. I've found it's just more fun/smarter and certanly safer, to just get the hotel room.
WHOOT SLEEPOVER. [And it just occurred to me that I'll be NINETEEN for AN. Sweet JESUS. Is anyone good at making homemade Screech? XD since its such a Canadian drink. XD]

That's such a cruel thing to say, Poppy. [Though I'll admit, eastern accents are a little distinctive, sure.]

You all sound the same to me!
Sure, I can't hear you, but I'm sure that, if I could, you'd all sound the same.

You know, I doubt that. There are some pretty distinctive Canadian dialects... Newfoundland dialects, for example, are as close to Irish as you're going to find outside, oh, say, County Clare. It's a brogue.
I've been told that my Southern Ontario self has an accent, though what it sounds like, I'd not be able to tell you.

Southern Ontarians very definitely have accents. I couldn't even begin to imitate it, but it's pretty distinct. It's almost like... it's your accent to speak very strongly and clearly. XD;
I don't know if I have an accent. D: I can hear the maritime accent in some people around here, and I was told last year at Anime North that I sounded like I was from Toronto.
...But I'd hate to disappoint Bubbles' expectations. ;____; So I'll have to slang it up for him, ha ha.

That's insane. I mean, when I went to Nova Scotia, I was told, "You SO have an accent", and when I went to the states, I was told, "you have an accent", but I've NEVER heard it. Which is, I suppose, the way of the accent---it just seems strange. I don't think I have one, but bah.
Heh... we speak strongly and clearly because we're all Big City folk, and everyone needs to Understand Us. Or so we'd like to think, I'm sure. XD
If you're from the maritimes, I'll bet you do have an accent---but at least the maritime one is less british [like S.Ontario], and more lilting, like Ireland and Scotland [geographically, you guys got most of your settlers from there, didn't you? I'm piss-poor at Canadian Social Geography.]
XD Yesss! Slang slang slang. What IS some Maritime slang, anyways?

Oh man, there's nothing scarier then that. I mean, I'm eighteen---turning nineteen in a little over a month, and I just realized all of my friends are my age, or older. Christ. When did everyone start getting old?
... Srsly? XD I think we should all have a good ol' Piratefest. With rum. And Flogging Molly. [and just for spite, that Paddy Murphy song. XD]

The good news is, Trey can actually drink in Canada. Which, you know, does absolutely nothing for Trey, since the American drinking age is higher [never DID figure that out.. ] But heh. And sprite? There's sprite?

I know I'm posting randomly but I just discovered Vampirates a few weeks ago... and this will be my first time going to AN... SQUEE! Do you know what you'll be selling? I *NEED* a mug that says "Kiss me I'm Pirish"
[Oh, and I love Newfoundland. I went on a random vacation to St. John's last summer. People kept asking if I had family there (in my city... very close to Clover by the looks of it there are a lot of Newfies :3) After a few days there I picked up the accent. My mom laughed at me]
