hi chicklet,
(why did you change your name? ... i like your new one ... should i change my name? ... what should i change my name to? ... should we take a poll about what to change my name to? ... do you want to be a "chicklet" as in a little chick? ... i think that's cool ... it's how i have heard you btway, youngster-ish ... ... teenager
... ... is that cool with you? ... wouldn't intend to offend, you know ...)> Of course, that's cheating because it's not from posting. >
from e-mails wouldn't be cheating ...
from phone calls would ....> Yup, I think I know what some posters sound like although I'd be surprised I'm sure, if I heard anyone else. >
i don't _Even_ have that confidence ... At All ...
> I like reading the British posters because of the subtle word differences used - like "going on holiday" instead of "vacation". >
i can surprise myself when i hear the accent and later discover they are from over there ...
> They just sound so much cooler than I do. >
... mmmm ... to me, perhaps more ... reserved ...
... ... but so very NOT cooler ... you're too cool, girl !
> > So what do I sound like?
> Dinah, I feel like you have a vey soothing, caring quality to your voice. Maybe medium to high pitch? And although you comment on your insecurities, i think that people you talk to don't sense that at all. >i agree ... even when she reads 'insecure', i hear positive, confident encouragement ...
> Don't argue because we all have different perceptions of our own voices. Man, I hate to hear my voice on the answering machine. My voice is...well somebody guess!
>
> >I rarely do with books either.
> It's funny; I always do with books. Then I was completely freaked out after seeing "The Hours" because most of them sounded just like I had imagined they would from reading the book.
>i would most definitely have been disturbed, if voices in a movie were to match my voices from a book ... ... i would be more than surprised if our posters had any of the voices i've heard ...
... when i wrote that i'd recognize them, i meant i would be able to identify the poster form the voice should i hear that voice ... where, having heard my version of Dinah's voice, say, outside of my head, her "voice" is so distinct that i would think of her specfically ...
... but if i turned around and the person who had that voice told me she was Dinah?
... ... i'd faint ! ... (dismissing the unlikelyhood and incongruity of sharing a location) ...> The men on the board- I have NO idea.
> Most of them are falsettos (sp?) probably...I'm kidding guys, I am totally kidding! >oh, to help out here ... i really sound like ricardo montalban more than jimi hendrix ... ... ... ...
... HA !!!> It's the Demerol talking. >
i used to take demerol ... ... i hope you're okay ! ... ... don't tell me why you are in such pain if you don't want to ....
TAKE CARE !!!
