1. What accent do you speak in when you speak your native language? Don't tell me you don't have one, because everyone has an accent, even if it's the "standard" accent for the language in question.
"Norrländska", with a little bit of "Bondska". It is rather different from ordinary Swedish, at least sometimes.
2. Do you mispronounce words because of your accent? I'm not talking about simple variant pronunciation. I'm talking about the way people in Boston say the word "career" like "Korea" and "Korea" like "career" (or, for example, the way Billy Joel sings about "Brender & Eddie" in "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" ).
I don't mispronunce things, but I pronunce some things differently, yes.
3. Do you speak any other languages fluently enough to have a distinctive local accent in that language? For example, my Moscow accent, my friend's Parisian accent when he speaks French, etc.
Nope... I just sound swedish
4. Are any of your accents "looked down" upon? (For example, Cockney or similar accents in England, Algerian accents in French, Caucasus accents in Russian, Long Island accents in American English, etc., etc., etc. )
Yeah... My accent is kinda looked down on, especially by ppl from southern parts of Sweden. But I look down on their accents 
5. As long as we're speaking about accents, are there any foreign accents which, when you hear your native language spoken in, turn you on/sound pretty ?
I just love it when my bf talks swedish with me (he's German), although he sound more finnish than german when he speaks swedish, at least sometimes
6. Are there any foreign accents which make your language sound awful?
Hmmm... Not really.
