I think that I'm with Apache with the southern drawl, especially comin from a pretty little southern belle.
As far as not knowing your own accent, it is 100% true that you don't realize it. I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere so everyone from around home here thinks I grew up in Tennessee, just because of the way I was raised. What was really odd is I recently went down to Tuscaloosa, Alabama for the Alabama vs Ole Miss football game, and they all picked me out right away as being from near Chicago. I think its amazing that they can pick me out like that.
