Neutral. Not Northern, Southern, or Western, just American. Your national American identity is more important to you than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity to begin with.
Which like yours, was also consistent with observation for me: I do actually sound like the "six o'clock news." And thanks to rubbing along with people from many places, I usually come up a hodgepodge of all the tell-tale word usages, too. In fact, thanks to some Brit coworkers and Harry Potter, I've picked up enough Britishisms to become unintelligible to virtually everyone. ;D
Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been unusually sleepy, and what time I am waking I have been wound up in sussing out "Salazar's Secrets."
