Heheh. Verdict: I am not eloquent. I knew I wouldn't get through that without getting chatty and saying "uhhhhh" a bunch of times, but there you have it.

I'm really liking this glimpse at how you all sound. It's so different from how I hear you in my mind.

Hah!

I've lived in BC for 16 years, Quebec before that. For some reason, I'm told that I 'talk like a Newfie'. I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, but I now understand that I most certainly do not talk like a Newfie... but I kinda wish I did. Your accent, it's very endearing. ProNOUNciation. RAMbling. Nervous sub-ject. The stereotype is much more severe than your accent embodies, I'm sure you're aware.

I always read Circe as Seerk. I think your pronunciation is correct according to rules of ce-words, but it struck me as quite odd to hear someone say it that way.
