Maybe we all sometimes think LJ is its own world, unrelated to real life (and maybe that's a good thing) but here's a case where LJ made something happen. A couple of years ago someone from my flist (maybe anom? (maybe arethusa2? ) suggested a way to reach high school students and help them think about peace. And here it's actually happening. I passed on the suggestion and others made it happen. Thanks, LJ (or more specifically, whichever of you great folks thought of this).

ETA: The thanks go to arethusa2!

What American accent do you have? Your Result: Philadelphia Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.
