Voice Post Meme

[pjthompson]

Here's a meme I got from hominysnark, including the verbiage below (because I am a lazy swine). The answers to the questions and the voice, however, are my own.

"Voice posts are fun, right? You get to hear funny accents if your friends are from far, far away. All we really want is to hear your voice, we don't care what you're saying. So here's a list of typical meme questions that would otherwise be boring, but when communicated aloud - well, it's entertaining. Answer these questions in your post, and encourage others with voice-posting abilities to do the same." (Double dare!)

1) What's your name?
2) How old are you?
3) Where are you from? Are you living there right now?
4) Is it cold where you are?
5) What's the time?
6) What are you wearing?
7) What was the last thing you listened to?
8) What was the last thing you ate?
9) What was the last thing you watched on tv?
10) What's your favorite tv show? Why?
11) Quick! Find a book, or something with text on it! Flip to a random page and read some of it! GO!
12) What was the last movie you saw? How was it?
13) Do YOU think you have an accent? Talk about that.







Oh! And don't forget the irony, folks!

That's so cool!! Awesome to hear your voice! And that strawberry cupcake sounds delish.

[pjthompson]

It was. It was one of those fancy ones with a whole bunch of frosting and candy rosettes. Yum.

Great to hear your voice. I'd say that you have a "national" accent, in that your accent sound more like national newscasters than a particular region. As expected, you sound intelligent, confident and witty.

[pjthompson]

Yes, newscasters are always imitating us Californians. ;-)

You have a lovely voice! Killer Valley Girl impression.

(and I bet foreign folks think you have an accent)

[pjthompson]

Thank you--and I've had lots of practice with Vallspeak.

(and I bet foreign folks think you have an accent)

Especially those English types! Harrumph.

What a lovely voice you have! Too bad I didn't get to hear questions/answers 11-13!

[pjthompson]

Thank you. Did the final questions cut off or did I just mumble too much? The gist: I read from a beading catalog, Slumdog Millionaire was fabulous, and everyone should talk like Californians (big wink).

No, it was my computer that cut off and kept saying that the interview was over even though I could see you hadn't answered all the questions yet.

[pjthompson]

Bummer, because questions 11-13 had some of my wittiest, most sparkling dialogue of the whole conversation. ;-)

I'd have to agree with the person saying you sound like a broadcaster... very nice!

I'll be honest -- you sound younger than I expected.

Dude, way to hurt a girl. I said I was middle-aged, not ancient. ;-)

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

Yes, but that just means you sound about twenty-ish. :-P

[pjthompson]

Oh good save! Bravo.

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

And it just so happens to be the truth, too!
