Orly?
I just thought you were from 100% Russian parents who moved to Alaska, and then you were born 5 years later (or something along the lines of that).
Huh, you have a Russian accent at all?
Yep, a deep Russian accent. Quite often, I get smoked out by the people I meet for the first time, just because they want to converse with me.
I can't count the amount of stories I've told about myself, people are more comfortable inquiring about the past of someone foreign (rather than native to their region). It's really nice actually, talking about my life makes for an endless conversation piece, and people are always interested (where-as normally it would come off as egotistical douche-bag behavior).
